摘要
The accelerating rate calorimetry studies on the tributyl phosphate and nitric acid reactions at various acid concentrations revealed that the conditions for red oil formation may vary with acid strength. The accelerating rate calorimeter studies supplemented with FT-IR characterization of the end products confirmed the formation of red oil at temperatures as low as 75 degrees C. This study thus strongly advocates for a revisit of safety limits set in the fuel reprocessing plants to prevent red oil formation. The chemical pathway for red oil formation is worked out.
