Concentration, Storage and Transfer Engineering (CSTE) requested that the Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) investigate the behavior of tri-n-butyl phosphate (TPB) and its degradation products (dibutyl phosphate (DBP), monobutyl phosphate (MBP), and butanol) under simulated waste conditions. SRTC also reviewed the impact of other organic materials that are present in small quantities in the high level waste system. The purpose of this work was to determine the TBP decomposition rate (n-butanol production rate) as a function of temperature, salt solution type, and catalyst.
