The effects of reaction temperature, reaction time, NaOH concentration and dosage on the hydrolysis rate of TBP were investigated. With the optimized conditions, the hydrolysis rate of TBP reached more than 99.5%. The reaction temperature is the greatest impact factor of TBP hydrolysis. As the hydrolysis reaction proceeded, TBP was first hydrolyzed into NaDBP, and then further hydrolyzed into Na2MBP. Three phases were formed after alkaline hydrolysis of TBP/n-dodecane, the n-dodecane (approximate to 70...
