K118, Spent adsorbent from purifying ethylene dibromide.
K-listed waste
Spent adsorbent from purifying ethylene dibromide
Industry: Organic chemicals.
ComplyOnSiteIs K118 hazardous waste?
Yes. K118 is a nonacute K-listed hazardous waste when the source process and waste stream match. Its federal hazard code is (T), for toxicity.
K118 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 K118 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.
What does K118 cover?
Spent adsorbent solids from purifying ethylene dibromide, made by brominating ethene. The waste form and its exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is spent ethylene dibromide adsorbent K118 or another code?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| K118 | It is spent adsorbent solids from purifying ethylene dibromide made by brominating ethene. |
| K136 | It is still bottoms from purifying ethylene dibromide made by brominating ethene. |
| K117 | It is wastewater from the reactor vent gas scrubber in making ethylene dibromide 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.
