BASIC STUDIES OF CHEMICAL STABILITY IN EXTRACTION SYSTEMS. I. THE EFFECT OF ZIRCONIUM NITRATE AND NITRIC ACID UPON THE CHEMICAL STABILITY OF TRIBUTYL PHOSPHATE
The effect of extracted zirconium and nitric acid upon the chemical stability of tributyl phosphate was investigated using gas-liquid chromatography. Tributyl phosphate was degraded approximately 1000 times faster by the tributyl phosphate-zirconium reaction than by the tributyl phosphatenitric acid reaction. Normal butyl nitrate was the major volatile product for both systems studied; with extracted zirconium a solid complex corresponding to the formula Zr(NO/sub 3/ )/sub 2/(DBP)/sub 2/ was also obtained.
