    Spent purification filters from making rocket-fuel chemical UDMH

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Cartridges that filtered the product in UDMH production.

Is K109 hazardous waste?

Yes. K109 is a nonacute K-listed hazardous waste when the source process and waste stream match. Its federal hazard code is (T), for toxicity.

K109 is listed by source, so how and where the waste arose decides it, not a concentration test alone. A test may add a characteristic code but doesn't remove the listing. On a required hazardous waste manifest, put K109 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.

What does K109 cover?

Spent filter cartridges from purifying the product when making 1,1-dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) from carboxylic acid hydrazides. The waste form and its exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is spent filters from UDMH production K109 or another code?

CodeWhen it fits
K109It is spent filter cartridges from product purification in making 1,1-dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) from carboxylic acid hydrazides.
K108It is condensed column overheads from product separation and condensed reactor vent gases in making 1,1-dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) from carboxylic acid hydrazides.
K107It is column bottoms from product separation in making 1,1-dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) from carboxylic acid hydrazides.

The industry, production step and waste form tell these K listings apart. The rows show nearby listed streams, not every code that can apply. Add any characteristic or other listing that also fits, as one waste can carry more than 1 federal code.
