1. Scope and Applicability

This method covers one chemically defined, unformulated technical-grade liquid product: tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP), CAS126-73-8, C12H27O4P, manufactured by direct reaction of phosphorus oxychloride with n-butanol and separation of HCl, excess alcohol and actual process solvent. It covers the factory-gate product and its actual synthesis, purification, delivery and pollution-control operations. Feedstock manufacture is connected through compatible supplier datasets. WHO EHC112 sections2.1/3.1 establish the identity and conventional feed route; the producer product page independently confirms the product identity (who-tbp-1991, lanxess-tbp-product).

Include only actual direct-esterification configurations supported by the site flow sheet. US3079419A, figure1, description and example3 document an HCl/alcohol separation configuration including xylene reflux/recovery; it supports route decomposition, not a recommended contemporary recipe (stauffer-trialkyl-1963). Washing/residual neutralisation and abatement are included when actually installed and recorded. The OFC and CWW BREFs supply chemical-sector stream characterisation and recovery/treatment principles, with their applicability qualifications (jrc-ofc-2006, jrc-cww-2016).

Exclude inorganic phosphoric acid or phosphate salts, other alkyl/aryl phosphate species, acidic mono-/diester products and their salts, formulated plasticisers/antifoams/hydraulic fluids/extractant solutions, other inorganic-acid esters, organophosphorus pesticides, reclamation of contaminated extraction solvent, sodium-alkoxide phosphorylation, and end-use metal extraction or nuclear processing. A different product-use label alone does not create another TBP identity or prove an exclusive manufacture route or grade. The reference is the whole accepted commercial liquid, including measured residual constituents permitted by its lot specification; it is not pure-TBP equivalent. No source provides a universal dose, solvent content, yield, purity, energy intensity or emission factor.

reference_massreference productMass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66kgUse 1 kg accepted net as-supplied unformulated TBP, excluding packaging. Q is the measured accepted net product mass of the same campaign, collected by cp_product; assay is a qualifier, not a change of denominator. Q includes the accepted residual water, alcohol, solvent and other measured constituents; count each accepted factory-gate production lot once, reconcile dispatches and finished stocks, and exclude repeated internal reacceptance of the same returned material.
active_basisall inventory rowsMasskgKeep supplied chemical/solution mass, measured active mass and embedded water separate in the physical ledger. Product active TBP = product net mass times measured mass fraction; do not substitute this active mass for Q.
utility_basissteam, natural_gas, nitrogen_input, tap_water, electricityNative verified reference propertynative unitPreserve each native unit/property. Match meter, phase/grade and provider reference basis; conversions require traceable density, gas T/P/composition/Z or steam enthalpy with condensate basis. Unknown compatibility stays pending.

Conditional on actual nominal 30% aqueous NaOH receipts for residual-acid washing or scrubbing. The native reference is whole supplied solution mass.

Nitrogen gas (nitrogen_input)

Conditional gaseous N2 for actual TBP inerting/headspace or equipment blanketing, with actual air-separation supplier origin, grade, phase and provider basis confirmed. The native at-plant inerting/headspace context and Mass/kg reference match this role; its bottling-use wording does not establish exclusive manufacture or grade. Measure gross external fresh gas mass by stage and reconcile internal transfers, retained gas and actual vents. Descriptive make-up/vent wording supplies no quantity or fraction. Volume-to-mass conversion needs actual T/P, composition and compressibility; no fixed density or unsupported reference normalization.

Treated tap water (tap_water)

Meter treated supplied water for washing, HCl absorption, cooling make-up, boiler make-up and cleaning separately in stage records. Collect supplied volume in m3 and actual geography/provider. A geographically restricted water identity cannot serve an unverified site.

Empty HDPE drum (hdpe_drum)

Conditional packaged delivery; weigh the purchased complete drum SKU with its supplied closure, exclude product contents, and retain reuse cycles/cleaning records. Resin and generic packing are not the converted drum. When a provider delivers a complete container, its measured reference includes the supplied closure/components; do not add their manufacture again. A handling, cleaning, reconditioning or reuse service is a distinct burden with its own provider/reference unit and actual number of services or cycles, not the full-container mass.

phosphorus, total (total_p_water)

Total-P analysis closes the phosphorus ledger. Where named P species are inventoried, this exchange can carry only measured remaining P after subtraction of their kg-P equivalents, with the residual composition and LCIA compatibility reviewed; otherwise quantity linkage stays pending. Never sum total P and all its constituent P again or hide toxic organophosphates in the sum. Only direct release to fresh water after on-site treatment; other destinations need their exact atomic identities.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

Declare the study goal and attributional modelling context before using the following shared-burden rules. System expansion/substitution requires a separately justified scenario consistent with the study goal; it is not interchangeable with allocation or an automatic recovered-product credit (jrc-ilcd-2010).

rule_idapplies_torulesource_ids
allocation_subdivideenvironmental burdensAvoid shared-burden allocation through measured stage subdivision where feasible; retain separate common utilities and treatment records. Identify actual independently accepted HCl/recovered alcohol co-products before any allocation.jrc-ilcd-2010
allocation_basisremaining shared burdensUse a documented physical causal relationship where supported; otherwise declare a justified alternative such as contemporaneous net-sales economic shares with source, period and sensitivity. Do not apply a fixed default share or assume every byproduct sale.jrc-ilcd-2010

Keep physical and attributed-burden accounts separately reconciled. Avoid crediting internal recycle or waste twice; any substitution must disclose its expanded-system basis and remain an explicit separate scenario.jrc-ilcd-2010
