Let’s test everyone: Is the mixed acid formed by water absorbing the exhaust gases, which consists of low-concentration hydrofluoric acid and acidic salts, considered hazardous waste? What is the basis?
It should be; check the list of hazardous waste management items
The hazardous waste list does not contain a specific category for mixtures; each component, when considered separately, falls under the category of hazardous waste. How is that mixture determined? Moreover, this acid has great utility value; how should it be defined?
If we refer to the method for identifying major hazard sources, if a is a hazard and b is also a hazard, then the mixture of ab will still definitely be considered hazardous waste, as long as no complete chemical reaction occurs
