A. H. Ali coauthored research on tributyl phosphate.^[ref]

A neutral oxygen-donor extractant, $\mathrm{OP}(\mathrm{OBu}{)}_3$, often abbreviated TBP. It can solvate metal nitrate species in solvent extraction. Selectivity depends on acidity, metal oxidation state, diluent and subsequent stripping conditions.

By A. H. Ali.

Radiochemistry 59, 579–586. The abstract reports extraction of Ce(IV) and Th(IV) from nitric acid into TBP/kerosene, followed by selective cerium stripping with peroxide and subsequent thorium stripping with water. The publisher identifies the author by initials; no unverified expansion of that name is supplied.
