K112, Drying-column water from making toluenediamine.

  • K-listed waste

    Drying-column water from making toluenediamine

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. By-product water from the drying column in toluenediamine production.

Is K112 hazardous waste?

Yes. K112 is a nonacute K-listed hazardous waste when the source process and waste stream match. Its federal hazard code is (T), for toxicity.

K112 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 K112 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.

What does K112 cover?

Water formed as a reaction by-product and removed in the drying column when making toluenediamine by hydrogenating dinitrotoluene. The waste form and its exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is toluenediamine drying-column water K112 or another code?

CodeWhen it fits
K112It is by-product water from the drying column in making toluenediamine by hydrogenating dinitrotoluene.
K113It is condensed liquid light ends from purifying toluenediamine made by hydrogenating dinitrotoluene.
K114It is vicinals from purifying toluenediamine made by hydrogenating dinitrotoluene.

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.
