K116, Solvent-recovery condensate from making toluene diisocyanate.
K-listed waste
Solvent-recovery condensate from making toluene diisocyanate
Industry: Organic chemicals.
ComplyOnSiteIs K116 hazardous waste?
Yes. K116 is a nonacute K-listed hazardous waste when the source process and waste stream match. Its federal hazard code is (T), for toxicity.
K116 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 K116 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.
What does K116 cover?
Organic condensate from the solvent recovery column when making toluene diisocyanate by phosgenating toluenediamine. The waste form and its exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is toluene diisocyanate recovery condensate K116 or another code?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| K116 | It is organic condensate from the solvent recovery column in making toluene diisocyanate by phosgenating toluenediamine. |
| K112 | It is by-product water from the drying column in making toluenediamine by hydrogenating dinitrotoluene. |
| K150 | It is organic residuals from spent chlorine-gas and hydrochloric-acid recovery linked to making chlorinated toluenes, benzoyl chlorides or compounds combining those groups. |
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.
Which codes sit beside K116?
