    Spent absorbent and separator solids from making methyl bromide fumigant

Industry: Pesticides.

Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from pesticide plants. Spent absorbent & wastewater separator solids from methyl bromide production.

Is K132 hazardous waste?

Yes. K132 is a nonacute K-listed hazardous waste when the source process and waste stream match. Its federal hazard code is (T), for toxicity.

K132 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 K132 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.

What does K132 cover?

Spent absorbent and wastewater separator solids left by making methyl bromide. The waste form and its exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is methyl bromide absorbent and separator solids K132 or another code?

CodeWhen it fits
K132It is spent absorbent and wastewater separator solids from making methyl bromide.
K131It is reactor wastewater and spent sulfuric acid from the acid dryer in making methyl bromide.
K125It is solids from filtration, evaporation and centrifugation in making ethylenebisdithiocarbamic acid and its salts.

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.
