Tributyl phosphate (TBP) is a very important compound in the nuclear industry, particularly in the area of nuclear fuel reprocessing. This compound is used in the PUREX (plutonium and uranium refining extraction) process which consists of the extraction of uranium and plutonium from an aqueous nitric acid phase, for the purpose of recycling. But TBP may be degraded to dibutyl phosphate (DBP) and monobutyl phosphate (MBP) by dealkylation of one or two butoxy groups, respectively. We have compared and evaluated the capacity of two resins manufactured by Dionex (AS11 and AS5A) in the separation and measurement of these two degradation products. AS11 generates two interferences: nitrite/DBP and carbonate/MBP. The first one is the most serious. So, we have developed a method for oxidising nitrite ions to nitrate ions which have no trouble over the measurement. The second resin tested, AS5A, allows a very efficient separation between DBP and NO2- ions and a good separation between MBP and CO3(2-) in comparison with the AS11. The detection limits for the AS5A column are 0.13 microM for MBP and 0.71 microM for DBP (injection loop=50 microl).
