ABSTRACT:
Alkyl phosphates, which may be dissolved in a hydrocarbon solvent can be destroyed in a two-stage process, the first stage involving hydrolysis with concentrated alkali to effect partial de-alkylation of the alkyl phosphate the second stage involving catalytic oxidation of the de-alkylated phosphate with hydrogen peroxide. This results in improved safety as oxidation takes place after much of the hydrocarbon has been removed at the first stage.
