Spent Sulfuric Acid
“Spent sulfuric acid may be recycled to produce
virgin sulfuric acid. To promote waste reduction
and recycling, such recycled spent sulfuric acid is
excluded from the definition of solid waste, unless
the facility accumulates the material speculatively.”

“The following materials are not solid wastes for the purpose of this part…”
• Spent sulfuric acid
if…
1. It is used to produce virgin sulfuric acid.
and…
2. It is not accumulated speculatively.

@DanielsTraining 6
More to Consider(1)…
• Exclusion applies only to spent sulfuric acid used as a feedstock in an industrial furnace for the production of virgin sulfuric acid. (RO 14570)

@DanielsTraining 7
More to Consider(2)…
• Spent sulfuric acid recycled by another method, such as filtration, is not excluded under Section 261.4(a)(7). (RO 14570)

More to Consider(4)…
40 CFR 261.4(a)(7)

• This includes application to the land as a fertilizer. (RO 14348)

• Check with your State as it may not recognize this Federal exclusion.
