  • K-listed waste

    Product washwater from making dinitrotoluene

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Listed withK-listed waste

Corrosive & toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Product wash water from nitrating toluene to make dinitrotoluene.

Is K111 hazardous waste?

Yes. K111 is a nonacute K-listed hazardous waste when the source process and waste stream match. Its federal hazard code is (C,T), for corrosivity and toxicity.

K111 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 K111 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.

What does K111 cover?

Washwater from the product when making dinitrotoluene by nitrating toluene. The waste form and its exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is dinitrotoluene washwater K111 or another code?

CodeWhen it fits
K111It is product washwater from making dinitrotoluene by nitrating toluene.
K112It is by-product water from the drying column in making toluenediamine by hydrogenating dinitrotoluene.
K109It is spent filter cartridges from product purification 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.
