The effect of extracted zirconium and nitric acid upon the chemical stability of tributyl phosphate was investigated using gas-liquid chromatography. Tributyl phosphate was degraded approximately 1000 times faster by the tributyl phosphate-zirconium reaction than by the tributyl phosphatenitric acid reaction. Normal butyl nitrate was the major volatile product for both systems studied; with extracted zirconium a solid complex corresponding to the formula Zr(NO/sub 3/ )/sub 2/(DBP)/sub 2/ was also obtained.
