The above is a general procedure for preparing trialkyl orthophosphates. Similar yields are obtained for trimethyl phosphate, b.p. 62°/5 mm. triethyl phosphate, b.p. 75-5°/5 mm. tri-n-propyl phosphate, b.p. 107-5°/5 mm. tri-Mo-propyl phosphate, b.p. 83-5°/5 mm. tri-wo-butyl phosphate, b.p. 117°/5-5 mm. and tri- -amyl phosphate, b.p. 167-5°/5 mm. The alkyl phosphates are excellent alkylating agents for primary aromatic amines (see Section IV,41) they can also be ua for alkylating phenols (compare Sections IV,104-105). Trimethyl phosphate also finds application as a methylating agent for aliphatie alcohols (compare Section 111,58). 

Thus good yields (> 60 per cent) are obtained with aniline and methyl, ethyl, n-propyl and n-butyl phosphates with a- and P-naphthylamine and methyl or ethyl phosphate nuclear substituted anilines and methyl or ethyl phosphate. 

Solvating extractants contain one or more electron donor atoms, usually oxygen, which can supplant or partially supplant the water which is attached to the metal ions. Perhaps the best known example of such an extractant is tri-( -butyl) phosphate) [126-73-8] (TBP), which forms... 

As metal extraction into a diluent—extractant solution proceeds, there is sometimes a tendency for formation of two organic phases in equiHbrium with the aqueous phase. A third phase is highly undesirable and its formation can be prevented by adding to the organic phase a few percent of a modifier which is typically a higher alcohol or tri- -butyl phosphate (TBP) (7).

Chemistry. Chemical separation is achieved by countercurrent Hquid— Hquid extraction and involves the mass transfer of solutes between an aqueous phase and an immiscible organic phase. In the PUREX process, the organic phase is typically a mixture of 30% by volume tri- -butyl phosphate (solvent) and a normal paraffin hydrocarbon (diluent). The latter is typically dodecane or a high grade kerosene (20). A number of other solvent or diluent systems have been investigated, but none has proved to be a substantial improvement (21). 

The solubility of the actinides in the organic phase, the right-hand side of equation 3, is achieved by the weak complexes that tri- -butyl phosphate... 

Many organic reagents have been used successfully in Pu separation processes. The reagents include tri- -butyl phosphate (TBP) methyl isobutyl ketone thenoyl ttifluoroacetone (TTA) ethers, eg, diethyl ether, di- -butyl ether, tetraethylene glycol dibutyl ether trdaurylamine (TT,A) trioctylamine (TOA) di- -butyl phosphate (DBP) hexyl-di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (HDEHP) and many others. Of these, TBP is by far the most widely used (30,95). 

Cosolvents ana Surfactants Many nonvolatile polar substances cannot be dissolved at moderate temperatures in nonpolar fluids such as CO9. Cosolvents (also called entrainers, modifiers, moderators) such as alcohols and acetone have been added to fluids to raise the solvent strength. The addition of only 2 mol % of the complexing agent tri-/i-butyl phosphate (TBP) to CO9 increases the solubility ofnydro-quinone by a factor of 250 due to Lewis acid-base interactions. Veiy recently, surfac tants have been used to form reverse micelles, microemulsions, and polymeric latexes in SCFs including CO9. These organized molecular assemblies can dissolve hydrophilic solutes and ionic species such as amino acids and even proteins. Examples of surfactant tails which interact favorably with CO9 include fluoroethers, fluoroacrylates, fluoroalkanes, propylene oxides, and siloxanes.

Tri-n-butyl phosphate, ( -C4H9)3P04. This solvent is useful for the extraction of metal thiocyanate complexes, of nitrates from nitric acid solution (e.g. cerium, thallium, and uranium), of chloride complexes, and of acetic acid from aqueous solution. In the analysis of steel, iron(III) may be removed as the soluble iron(III) thiocyanate . The solvent is non-volatile, non-flammable, and rapid in its action. 

Water samples showing contamination by phenols are best examined by extracting the phenol into an organic solvent tri-n-butyl phosphate is very suitable for this purpose. Photometric measurements can be carried out on the extract, and the requisite alkaline conditions are achieved by the addition of tetra-n-butylammonium hydroxide. 

Prepare an alkaline solution of the phenol concentrate by placing 4.0 mL of a tri-n-butyl phosphate layer in a 5 mL graduated flask and then adding 1.0 mL of the tetra-n-butylammonium hydroxide do this for each of the four solutions. The reference solution consists of 4 mL of the organic layer (in which the phenol is undissociated) plus 1 mL of methanol. Measure the absorbance of each of the extracts from the four test solutions and plot a calibration curve.

Using a separation method based on the extraction of Ce(IV) by butyl phosphate Parchen and Duke S have made a further study of this exchange reaction. In perchlorate media ( 6M), atO °C, with Ce(IV) and Ce(III) in the ranges 8 x 10 to 10 M and 8 x 10 to 8 x 10 M, respectively, the exchange data indicated a rate law... 

Successful strategies for generating complexes of the di(terf-butyl)phosphate ligand primarily focus on the use of H0P(0)(0 Bu)2 as a reagent. As with the related siloxide species, all synthetic manipulations must be performed under inert conditions to avoid hydrolysis of the M - O - P linkages. Complexes of the - 02P(0 Bu)2 ligand are useful precursors to M/P/0 oxide materials.
