ANALYTICAL METHODS FOR THE INSPECTION OF TRIBUTYL PHOSPHATE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4141579

The tributyl phosphate is determined by hydrolysis and volumetric determination of the phosphoric acid produced. Ionizable chloride is extracted and determined volumetrically. Total chloride is determined by reacting with sodium and determining the chloride volumetrically. Butyl alcohol is determined by measuring the amount of acetic anhydride required for esterification. Phosphoric acid is determined gravimetrically. Ammonia is determined volumetrically after distillation from alkaline solution. Dibutyl phosphate and monobutyl phosphate are determined by titration to two indicators and calculations involving the ammonia and phosphoric acid results. (auth)
