*2.2.1.1 F-list*

The F-list contains hazardous wastes originated from a nonspecific source that includes various industrial processes leading to generation of these wastes. The list mainly incudes the solvent used in degreasing, metal treatment baths and sludge's, wastewaters from metal plating operations and dioxin containing chemicals or their precursors. The F-list are categorized depending upon industrial operations generating the wastes.

They can be divided into seven groups depending on the type of manufacturing or industrial operation generating the waste.

• Metal finishing wastes

• Dioxin-contaminated wastes

• Wood preserving wastes

• Multisource leachate.

• Primary aluminum production

• Veterinary pharmaceuticals manufacturing

• Coking (processing of coal to produce coke)

The unused chemicals of pure and commercial formulations that are being disposed come under P and U lists. For a P- or U-listed waste it requires the following

• Waste from petroleum refinery

• Chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons production

The K-list contains hazardous wastes generated as a result of specific industrial processes and are considered as source-specific wastes. The classification of K-listed hazardous waste must fit into one of the 13 categories mentioned

• Solvent wastes
