Tetraphenylborate solids provide a potentially large source of benzene in the slurries produced in the In-Tank Precipitation (ITP) process. The stability of the solids is an important consideration in the safety analysis of the process. Recent tests investigated the stability of the potassium tetraphenylborate (KTPB) solids under process conditions, during both precipitation and washing. In addition, the tests measured the relative stabilities of the sodium, potassium and cesium tetraphenylborate (NaTPB, KTPB, and CsTPB, respectively). Additional tests examined the similarity of the catalytic system in the reaction of soluble and insoluble tetraphenylborates.
