    Reactor-vent scrubber water from making ethylene dibromide

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Scrubber wastewater from the reactor vent in ethylene dibromide production.

Is K117 hazardous waste?

Yes. K117 is a nonacute K-listed hazardous waste when the source process and waste stream match. Its federal hazard code is (T), for toxicity.

K117 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 K117 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.

What does K117 cover?

Wastewater from the reactor vent gas scrubber when making ethylene dibromide by brominating ethene. The waste form and its exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is ethylene dibromide scrubber water K117 or another code?

CodeWhen it fits
K117It is wastewater from the reactor vent gas scrubber in making ethylene dibromide by brominating ethene.
K118It is spent adsorbent solids from purifying ethylene dibromide made by brominating ethene.
K136It is still bottoms from purifying ethylene dibromide made by brominating ethene.

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.
