  • K-listed waste

    Solids, dust and sweepings from making dithiocarbamate acids or salts

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Listed withK-listed waste

Reactive & toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Filter solids, dust & sweepings from dithiocarbamate acids & salts.

Is K161 hazardous waste?

Yes. K161 is a nonacute K-listed hazardous waste when the waste comes from the named process and stream. The federal table gives it hazard code (R,T), meaning reactivity and toxicity.

Source decides a K listing, not a concentration test. A test can add a characteristic code, but it doesn't remove the K161 listing.

On a required hazardous waste manifest, put K161 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.

What does K161 cover?

Purification solids (filtration, evaporation and centrifugation solids), bag house dust and floor sweepings from making dithiocarbamate acids and their salts. K125 and K126 waste is not included.

Are dithiocarbamate solids, dust and sweepings always K161?

CodeWhen it fits
K161Purification solids (including filtration, evaporation, and centrifugation solids), bag house dust and floor sweepings from producing dithiocarbamate acids and their salts.
K158Bag house dusts and filter/separation solids from producing carbamates and carbamoyl oximes.
K118Spent adsorbent solids from purification of ethylene dibromide while producing ethylene dibromide via bromination of ethene.

The industry, production step and waste form tell these K listings apart, not the chemicals alone. The rows show nearby listed streams, not every code that could fit. Add any characteristic or other listing that also fits, because one waste can carry more than 1 federal code.
