Benzene generation from phenylborate decomposition in saltstone

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/754227· OSTI ID:754227

High Level Waste Engineering requested SRTC to determine the effect of tetraphenylborate (TPB), triphenylboron (3PB), diphenylborine acid (2PB), and phenylboronic acid (1PB) on the Saltstone process. A previous SRTC report documented benzene evolution from phenylborate decomposition over 91 days, 28 day toxic characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) results and interactions between phenylborates and components in the saltstone dry chemicals. The ITP Flowsheet team asked SRTC to continue to measure benzene evolution from saltstone samples prepared with 3PB and 2PB. This report documents that work.
