RADIATION STABILITY OF ORGANIC LIQUIDS. Semi-Annual Report No. 7 FOR January 1, 1960-June 30, 1960

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4130062
Research was directed toward quantitative determination of the small amounts of dibutyl phosphoric acid (DBP), monobutyl phosphoric acid (MBP), and phosphoric acid (H/sub 3/PO/sub 4/) that are present in TBP extraction systems that have been irradiated to doses of 40 to 400 whr/liter. An analytlcal technique was developed that appears satisfactory for the determination of these radiolysis-produced phosphates. The procedure involves the separation of phosphate components by paper chromatography followed by determination of each component by neutron-activation methods. (W.L.H.)
