  • K-listed waste

    Bottom purification residue from making ethylene dibromide

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Bottoms from purifying ethylene dibromide made by brominating ethene.

Is K136 hazardous waste?

Yes. K136 is a nonacute K-listed hazardous waste when the source process and waste stream match. Its federal hazard code is (T), for toxicity.

K136 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 K136 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.

What does K136 cover?

Still bottoms 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 ethylene dibromide still bottoms K136 or another code?

CodeWhen it fits
K136It is still bottoms from purifying ethylene dibromide made by brominating ethene.
K118It is spent adsorbent solids from purifying ethylene dibromide made by brominating ethene.
K117It 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.
