Description

Tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) is a chemical compound that is used in the treatment of wastewater. It is a white solid that has a melting point of 102 °C and an odor threshold of 0.05 ppm. TOPO reacts with citric acid to form sodium citrate, which is soluble in water. Sodium carbonate is formed when TOPO reacts with sodium hydroxide. This chemical also has synergistic effects with other chemicals, such as aluminum sulfate and ferric chloride, which are used for wastewater treatment. TOPO can be used to remove organic compounds from wastewater by oxidation reactions, such as methyl ethyl alcohols or methyl ethyl acetates. The reaction solution changes color from yellow to red during the oxidation process, which indicates the removal of these compounds from the solution. The reaction between TOPO and hydrogen peroxide produces heat and oxygen gas, which can be measured using calorimetry or spectrometry techniques.br>br
