Tri-iso-amyl phosphate is an alternate solvent, proposed in literature as an alternate to the PUREX/UREX solvent tri-n-butyl phosphate for better physical properties. Its PVT properties and accurate expression for estimation of its vapour pressure are not available in the literature. Recently PVT properties of TiAP were estimated by authors and its vapour pressure was measured in a ASTM certified vapor pressure measurement system at temperatures ranging from 273.15 to 373.15 K. In this paper, results of these studies are presented.
