If disposed of in its purchased form, this product is a hazardous waste because of the small amount of soluble barium in the product. More than 100 ppm soluble barium in the TCLP extract of a waste renders it a D005 RCRA hazardous waste. This is equal to 0.2 % soluble barium in a waste. This product contains soluble barium in excess of 0.2%. The barium in this product can be rendered non-leachable/insoluble by reacting it with sulfuric acid or any soluble sulfate to form highly-insoluble barium sulfate. Barium sulfate is not a RCRA hazardous waste because it is not soluble.
