    Triethylamine foundry-sand catalyst

Tasmania M230: triethylamine is the catalyst used to harden sand moulds in foundries.

Wastes of triethylamine, the amine catalyst used to set foundry sand moulds for metal casting. Any spent or surplus catalyst fits.

Is Tasmania M230 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. For national-list categories, Tasmania also needs a listed hazardous characteristic, which is presumed unless shown otherwise. Tasmania adds its own controlled wastes too, so read the category and the local rules together.

Put M230 with the specific waste description in the controlled-waste consignment documentation. Record the producer, quantity, form, contaminants, registered transporter and receiver. An incoming interstate controlled load needs EPA Tasmania's consignment authorisation, and another state's certificate doesn't authorise the receiving facility. Follow the Tasmanian handling and transport rules.
