Influence of metallic and oxidized iron/steel on the reactivity of triphenyl phosphorothionate in oil solution

The influence of metallic and oxidized iron/steel on the reactivity of triphenyl phosphorothionate (TPPT) in oil solution at 473 K was investigated by means of FT-IR, NMR and XPS. The FT-IR and NMR results show that the degradation of TPPT was catalyzed by metallic and oxidized iron powder and started with the breakage of the PS bond to form triphenyl phosphate (TPP). The results of the XPS sputter depth profile show the multilayer structure of the thermal film formed on 100Cr6 steel filings immersed for 72 h in TPPT solution heated at 473 K.
