ABSTRACT: The phase diagrams and compositions of coexisting phases have been determined and correlated for poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) 3000 + trisodium citrate aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS’s) at 25 °C and different pH values (6.1, 7.5, and 9.0). It was found that an increase in pH caused the binodal curve to be displaced downward and also the expansion of the two-phase region. The experimental binodal data of the mentioned system has been successfully correlated with Bleasdale equations (high R2 and low AARD). Furthermore, the viscosities, densities, electrical conductivity, and refractive index of binary (PEG 3000 + water; trisodium citrate + water) and ternary (PEG 3000 + trisodium citrate + water) systems at the above pH value have been measured and correlated. The density data show a linear variation with mass fraction of the polymer and also the salt. The viscosity data of PEG 3000 solutions were correlated as a function of mass fraction, using a nonlinear equation. The effect of tie line lengths on density and viscosity of the aqueous two-phase systems has also been represented.

1. INTRODUCTION

2. EXPERIMENTAL SECTION 2.1. Materials. Polyethylene glycol, with a mass average 3000 g mol−1, trisodium citrate (anhydrous GR for analysis, > 99 %), sodium hydroxide (NaOH; mass purity > 0.99) and sulfuric acid ((95 to 97) % H2SO4, GR for analysis, > 95.0 %) were obtained from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany) and used without further purification. Distilled, deionized water was used for the preparation of solutions. All other materials were analytical grade. 2.2. Apparatus and Procedure. The binary (PEG 3000 + water; trisodium sulfate + water) and ternary (PEG 3000 + trisodium sulfate + water) systems were prepared by adding the suitable mass of individual solution to 10 g by the addition of double-distilled−deionized water in 15 mL graduated tubes utilizing an analytical balance (A&D., Japan, model GF300) with a precision of ± 10−4 g. To achieve the constant temperature (25 °C) with an uncertainty of 0.05 °C, the tubes were placed in a thermostatic bath (Memert., Germany, model INE400) and then the densities, viscosities, electrical conductivities, and refractive indexes of the solutions were measured. The densities of pure liquids and their mixtures were measured using an Anton Paar oscillation U-tube densitometer (model: DMA 500) with the

Aqueous two-phase system (ATPS), a liquid−liquid extraction (LLE) strategy, is now recognized as a potential technique because of its multiple advantages including biologic compatibility,1 ease of continuous process,2−7 low interfacial tension,8 short processing time,9 low material cost,10,11 low energy consumption,12,13 good resolution,14 a high yield,15a relatively high load capacity,16 scaling up feasibility,17−19 selective extraction,20 separation of metal ions,21−24 and efficient procedure for separation of various biological materials such as recombinant proteins and enzymes.25−31 Phase diagram data and data on the composition and the physical properties of the phase forming are necessary for the design, optimization, and scale up of such processes and also necessary for the development of models that predict phase partitioning.32−34 This work is devoted to obtaining phase equilibrium data and the correlation of binodal data for ATPSs containing PEG 3000 + trisodium citrate at pH 6.1, 7.5, and 9.0. Also, an attempt is made to measure and correlate the viscosity, density, and electrical conductivity, and refractive index of binary (PEG 6000 + water; trisodium citrate + water) and ternary (PEG 6000 + trisodium citrate + water) systems and also the top and bottom phases of the two-phase system. © 2015 American Chemical Society

accuracy of ± 10−4 g·cm−3 calibrated with double- distilled water and air. An Anton Paar viscometer Lovis 2000 M with different capillary sizes (1.59 mm and 1.8 mm) for measuring a range of (0.5 to 300) mPa·s with an accuracy of up to 0.5 % was used to measure the viscosities of the solutions at 25 °C. The uncertainties of the measurement of viscosity were ± 0.002 mPa·s. Electrical conductivity was measured at 298.15 K using a JENWAY 4510 model, having a precision 0.01 μS to 1 mS. The refractive index was measured by a (CETI Belgium model) refractometer with a precision of 0.0001 nD. A titration method was applied to determine the binodal curves. A salt solution of known concentration was titrated with the polymer solution or vice versa, until the solution turned turbid. The composition of the mixture was determined by mass. According to phase composition data obtained from the above experiments, feed samples (10 g) were prepared by mixing appropriate amounts of polymer, salt, and water in 15 mL graduated tubes at 25 °C, and the pH values of the salt solutions were adjusted by mixing the appropriate ratio of trisodium citrate, sodium hydroxide, and sulfuric acid, respectively. The pH values of the solutions were measured precisely with a Metrohm 827 pH Lab meter (Swiss made). The contents of the test tube were rigorously vortexed for 5 min, before being placed in the 25 °C thermostatic bath for 2 h. To separate the resulting phases, the tubes were centrifuged (Hermle Z206A, Germany) at 6000 rpm for 5 min. The resulted phases showed no turbidity and the top and bottom samples were easily separated. Then the densities, viscosities, electrical conductivity refractive indexes and of both the top and bottom phases were measured at 25 °C. All data measurements were conducted in duplicate, and the average values are reported. The concentration of PEG 3000 was measured by the refractive index method, while the concentration of the trisodium citrate was determined by the conductivity method.35−37 The calibration method was applied to measure both the refractive index and conductivity of the phases at 25 °C. First, the calibration plots of refractive index and conductivity were prepared for the known phase composition. Then, the measured values are interpolated. The average relative deviation of salt and polymer concentration by this method is about 0.1 (wt %).

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The viscosities, densities, electrical conductivities, and refractive indexes of aqueous solutions of PEG 3000 + water and trisodium citrate + water at 25 °C are given in Tables 1 and 2. As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the density and viscosity data show a linear and nonlinear increase, respectively, with increasing mass fraction of the PEG 3000. These effects also were observed in the trisodium citrate + water system. An increase in the refractive index with increasing concentration was found in the salt solution and also in the polymer solution. Obviously both these changes were linear. The electrical conductivity of the polymer solution is very different compared to that of the salt solution. In both solutions, the electrical conductivity will increase by increasing the concentration, but the electrical conductivity of the polymer solution is very low. A change of PEG3000 concentration in the range of 0 % to 50 % (w/w) results in a 1.02 mS·cm−1 conductivity of the solution which is negligible comparated to 66.45 mS·cm −1 changes that occur in the citrate salt concentration. This finding agrees with most of the data reported in the literature for similar systems.32,35,38−41

Figure 5 shows the influence of the pH on the binodal curve of PEG 3000 + trisodium citrate aqueous two-phase system. From this figure it can be observed that the binodal was displaced downward as the pH of the moderate increased, demonstrating that the smaller concentration of the phase polymers is required to form ATPSs. A comparable conduct was also described.43−45 As the charge of the solute and ratio of the charged species are functions of pH, the binodal location is also a function of pH. It is known that the hydrogen-bond interactions of PEG are weakened as the pH rises, and this fact may lead to the saltingout phenomenon. The salt’s ability to promote the water structure may be responsible for this salting-out. The stronger affinity of citrate salt ions toward water in comparison to PEG may result in a decrease in hydration and the solubility of PEG. The ultimate result of this process may be the exclusion of PEG from the rest of solution.44 3426

Figure 5. Experimental and correlated binodal curves of ATPSs of PEG3000 + trisodium citrate + water at different pH values. The solid curves represent correlated binodals.

The equilibrium phase compositions, tie line data, and physical properties of the top and bottom phases are shown in Table 9. Experiments were carried out with three feed solutions containing PEG 3000 + trisodium citrate + water at three pH values. The experimental results for the feed solutions and additionally for the resulting coexisting phases are also given in Table 9. Likewise it can be recognized from the data of Table 9 that an increment in salt composition at constant pH increases the concentration of PEG in the top phase. This may be clarified by the hydration impact of salt. The tie-line length (TLL) is an empirical measure of the compositions of the two phases, which can be calculated by the following equation: TLL =

(Cp top − Cp bottom)2 + (Cs bottom − Cs top)2

PEG3000 + trisodium citrate + H2O system. The TLL and STL for the above system increased with an increase in pH. A comparable conduct was likewise depicted.39,44This phenomenon may be due to the hydrodynamic volume decrease of the solution. Waziri et al. (2003) and Shahbazinasab and Rahimpour (2012) reported that decreasing the pH leads to reduction in intrinsic viscosity of the polymer solution.44,46 As we know that the hydrodynamic volume of polymers in solution is proportional to their intrinsic viscosity, it can be found that the pH decrease leads to more compact structure of polymer chains. It is reported that as the pH of the aqueous PEG−salt two-phase system increases, the concentration in the PEG-rich phase increases and the concentration in the salt-rich phase decreases. The effect of tie line lengths on density, dynamic viscosity, and kinematic viscosity of the aqueous two-phase systems has also been considered. The density difference between the phases (Δρ) and the viscosities difference between the phases (Δη), increase with an increase in the TLL and decrease with an increase in pH. From Figures 7, 8, and 9, it is observed that the density and viscosities differences between the phases show a linear relationship with the TLL. A comparable conduct was likewise depicted.43,44

The slope of the tie line (STL) is given by the ratio of the difference between the concentration of the polymer (CP) and of the salt (CS) in the top and bottom phases, as presented in eq 3: STL =

Cp top − Cp bottom Cs bottom − Cs top

the Bleasdale equation. Moreover, the densities, viscosities, electrical conductivities, and refractive index of the binary and ternary mixtures of PEG 3000 + trisodium citrate + water-based aqueous two-phase systems were measured and correlated at 25 °C. Some empirical models were developed to describe the physical properties of binary and ternary systems. The models can be able to reproduce the experimental data precisely.

CONCLUSIONS New experimental results are presented for liquid−liquid equilibrium data for the PEG3000 + trisodium citrate + water system at various pH values of 6.1, 7.5, and 9.0 at 25 °C. It was found that the two-phase area is expanded with increasing pH. It was also observed that with increasing pH the slope and length of equilibrium tie-lines for the mention biphasic system increased. The experimental binodal data were satisfactorily correlated with 3428
