RCRA REGULATORY STATUS OF SPENT REFRACTORY BRICK THAT IS REUSED
When spent refractory bricks are legitimately used or reused without reclamation, such as by being used as an ingredient to manufacture new refractory bricks or directly reused in their original function as refractory materials, they are not solid wastes under 40 CFR 261.2(e), provided that any processing of the bricks is incidental and the use meets the definition of legitimate recycling at 40 CFR 260.43. In such cases, Subtitle C hazardous waste requirements do not apply to the spent refractory bricks. (additional keywords: Reuse, Incidental Processing, Refractory Brick, Chromium)
