ABSTRACT: The phase diagrams for the systems containing polyoxyethylene lauryl ether (Brij35) and K2HPO4/(NH4)2HPO4 have been determined experimentally at three temperatures, (288.15, 298.15, and 308.15) K. Three experiential equations were used to correlate the binodal data. The liquid−liquid equilibrium (LLE) data of these systems obtained by the experimental method were fitted by using Othmer−Tobias and Bancroft along with simple Setschenow-type equations. Furthermore, the effect of temperature on the binodal curve for the disquisitive systems has been discussed, and it was found that two-phase region expands with the increase in temperature, which is corresponded to the value of the effective excluded volume (EEV) calculated according to the binodal model. In the investigated systems, the free energy (ΔG), enthalpy change (ΔH), and entropy change (ΔS) were calculated, and it indicated that the phase separation processes are endothermic and driven by the entropy increase. That the slope of tie-line increases with the rising temperature was mainly caused by the hydrophobicity of Brij35 which changes with the temperature being varied.



INTRODUCTION As a new kind of green separation technology, the aqueous twophase system (ATPS) has drawn more attention nowadays, which had previously been generally used for the separation and purification of the biomolecules,1−4 antibiotics,5−9 and metal ions.10−12 The ATPS has been widely used in the field of extraction and purification because of its excellent properties, such as nontoxicity, the lower cost, and the possibility of largescale applications. Both phases of ATPS contain a lot of water, and therefore it provides relatively mild extraction conditions and is more suitable for the purification of biologically active substances. The initial ATPS is constituted at a certain critical concentration of polymer and polymer or polymer and salt. In recent years, there have been some new types of ATPS's, like the ionic liquid−salt ATPS and small molecule organic solvent−salt ATPS. However, few studies on surfactant polyoxyethylene-n-alkyl-ether (BrijX) and salt ATPS have been reported. Only Masumeh et al. have investigated ATPS's composed of surfactant polyoxyethylene cetyl ether (Brij58) and salts at different temperatures13,14 and concluded that the Brij58−salt ATPS's have a series of advantages compared with other systems, such as material saving, lower interface tension, and the ease of waste disposal. Kellermayer et al.15 have used surfactant Brij58 to separate lipids and proteins. As a nonionic surfactant, polyoxyethylene lauryl ether (Brij35, C32H66O11) contains a hydrophobic alkyl tail and a hydrophilic polyoxyethylene domain; thus Brij35 can be an © 2012 American Chemical Society

appropriate candidate for forming surfactant−salt ATPS's, which has huge potential for separating and purifying the biological materials. In this paper, the binodal data of the systems containing Brij35 and K2HPO4/(NH4)2HPO4 were determined at three temperatures of (288.15, 298.15, and 308.15) K and were correlated with three experiential equations. The effect of temperature and type of salts on the binodal curve was studied. The composition of two phases at equilibrium state was determined at different temperatures, and the data were also fitted using several equations. The slope of the tie-line was affected by the temperature change, due to the fact that the rising temperature leads to the variation of hydrophobicity of Brij35, which will be discussed in detail.

formed, the concentration of Brij35 and salt were determined, respectively. The concentration of Brij35 in top and bottom phases was determined at 231 nm using UV−vis spectrometer (UV-2450, Shimadzu Corporation, Japan). The uncertainty in measuring the mass fraction of the Brij35 was found to be 0.001. The concentration of K2HPO4 in phases was determined by flame photometry (TAS-968, Beijing Purkinje General Instrument Co., Ltd., China), and the concentration of (NH4)2HPO4 in both phases was determined using conductivity measurements17,18 (DDSJ-308A, Shanghai Precision and Scientific Instrument Co., Ltd., China). The precision in the measurement of the mass fraction of the K2HPO4 was better than 0.0002. The relationship between the mass fraction of (NH4)2HPO4 and the conductivity is given by

analytical grade reagents (GR, min. 99 % by mass fraction). All reagents were used without further purification, and the water used in experiments was double-distilled. Apparatus and Procedure. The binodal data of the investigated systems were determined by using the cloud-point method.16 The vessel used to carry out the experiment was a glass vessel whose volume was 50 mL. The glass vessel was jacketed with a coat in which water was circulated using a water thermostat (DC-2008, Shanghai Hengping Instrument Factory, China). The temperature of the water in the jacket was controlled at the constant temperature. The Brij35 solution was added into the glass vessel from the stock solution with a known mass fraction. Then the salt solution with known mass fraction was dropped into the vessel until the mixed solution turned turbid. To verify the cloud point, one drop of water was taken into the compound to make the mixed solution clear. The above procedures were repeated to determine the following cloud point, and the cloud point was noted using an analytical balance (BS124S, Beijing Sartorius Instrument Co., China) with an uncertainty of 1.0·10−7 kg. To determine the data of the liquid−liquid equilibrium for the studied systems, the feed samples made by mixing Brij35, salt, and water at a proper ratio were taken into the vessel. The sample was kept stirring for 0.5 h and was placed in the thermostat water bath to settle for 48 h, in which water was controlled at a desired temperature. After the ATPS was

where k is the conductivity (μS·cm−1), w2 is the mass fraction of (NH4)2HPO4, and a0 and a1 are the coefficients, the value of which are 0.02997 and 0.80032. The precision of the mass fraction of (NH4)2HPO4 achieved using eq 1 is less than 0.0002. The density of the aqueous solutions of Brij35 with known mass fraction was determined with a density meter (model Anton Paar DMA-4100) with an uncertainty of 0.0001 g·mL−1 at a certain temperature which was controlled within 0.05 K 2314

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Binodal Data and Correlation. The binodal data of the systems containing Brij35 and K2HPO4/(NH4)2HPO4 were determined at three temperatures, which were given respectively in Tables 1 and 2. The binodal curves for the investigated systems were plotted in Figures 1 and 2. Three experiment equations (eqs 2 to 4) were used to correlate all of the binodal data. w1 = exp(a + bw2 0.5 + cw2 + dw2 2)

The variables w1 and w2 represent the mass fraction of Brij35 and salts, and a, b, c, and d are fitting parameters. Wang et al.19 used eq 2 to fit the binodal data of the systems composed of micromolecule organic solvent and salts at 298.15 K and obtained desirable results. The binodal data of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)−salts ATPS's20 were correlated using the thirdorder polynomial equation (eq 3). Equation 4 was generally applied to the correlation of the binodal curves of ATPS's.21−26 Tables 3 to 5 represent the values of fitting parameters in these equations along with the square of correlation coefficients (R2) and the corresponding standard deviations (SDs) for those systems, respectively. Although three equations showed good relativity in the investigated systems, we found that the eq 2 was more appropriate to fit the binodal curves by comparing

the square of correlation coefficients and the corresponding SDs of every system which is listed in three tables. Effect of Temperature on the Hydrophobicity of Brij35. Following Zafarani-Moattar et al.,27 the excess specific volume (VE) is determined according to this equation (eq 5). VE =

systems were given in Table 7. According to the values of V*213 listed in Table 7, it was found that EEV increased with the rising temperature, which was caused by the variation in hydrophobicity of Brij35. In fact, Brij35 is more hydrophobic with the increase in temperature, as a result, salt is easier to exclude the Brij35 from salt-rich phase to Brij35-rich phase. So with Brij35 being controlled at the same concentration, the concentration of the salt at which the ATPS is formed turns lower with the rising temperature. Effect of the Temperature on Binodal Curves. The binodal curves of the Brij35-K2HPO4 ATPS and those of the Brij35-(NH4)2HPO4 ATPS at the (288.15, 298.15, and 308.15) K were respectively plotted in Figures 1 and 2. It has been found that the binodal curve travels toward the axis of the coordinate with the temperature rising from 288.15 K to 308.15 K. In other words, the rising temperature will lead to the expansion of two-phase region. This phenomenon was observed in most of polymer−salt ATPS's, such as PEG− salts29−32 and PPG−salt33−35 ATPS's. However, there are some exceptions; namely, the binodal curves of some systems (e.g., the PVP-salt ATPS's36,37) were hardly influenced by the temperature changes. That is because the hydrophobicity of some polymer strengthens with the rising temperature and that causes the decrease of polymer hydration power. Thus, it is concluded that with the temperature being rising, the critical concentration of salt above which the two phases formed will decreases and that is in line with the results obtained from the EEV. Rahmat et al.38 consider the clouding as the mark of the separation of phase; the free energy of the two-phase (ΔG) formation can be obtained according to the follow equation

of Brij35 at the temperatures T = (283.15 to 313.15) K were listed in Table 6. Zafarani-Moattar et al. held that the behavior of VE is attributed to the intermolecular interactions between the hydrogen atom of the water and the oxygen atoms of the polymer and difference between the size of water and polymer. At the low temperatures the more negative value of VE is consistent with the strong hydrogen bond interactions between polymer and water. Instead, the hydrogen bond interactions are weakened at the higher temperatures, and less negative values of VE are obtained. Therefore, we may conclude that the Brij35 becomes more hydrophobic with the increasing temperature according to the values of VE in Table 6. Effective Excluded Volume and Phase-Separation Abilities of Salts. The effective excluded volume (EEV) is determined from the binodal model developed by Guan et al.28 on the base of statistical geometry for ATPS containing two polymers. In the present work, we applied EEV to the surfactant−salt ATPS so as to study the effect of temperature on the phase-separation abilities of ATPS. The equation for our investigated systems is written as ⎛ w ⎞ w * 2 ⎟ + V 213 * 1 =0 ln⎜V 213 M2 ⎠ M1 ⎝

ΔG = RT ln(X )

where X is the mole fraction concentration of salt and the value of ΔG is listed in Table 8. The enthalpy change (ΔH) is calculated by processing the free energy at different temperatures from the slope of linear dependency of the plots ΔG/T against 1/T using this equation ΔH =

d(ΔG /T ) d(1/T )

The value of ΔH is shown in Table 8. The entropy change (ΔS) is calculated using the Gibbs−Helmholtz equation (eq 9), and the value is also given in Table 8.

On the basis of the calculated data reported in Table 8, it was found that the free energy has a negative value and the value of enthalpy change is greater than zero. Therefore, the phase separation processes are endothermic and driven by entropy increase, which is consistent with the conclusion for aqueous solutions of electrolytes and PEG obtained by da Silva and Loh,39 who hold that the phase separation for aqueous solutions of PEG and salt was accompanied by an enthalpy increase according to the enthalpy of electrolyte solution in aqueous PEG solutions and in pure water measured with calorimetry. Effect of the Salt on Binodal Curves. In addition to the temperature, the type of salt is also an important factor to affect the formation of ATPS. The phase capacity of salt is related to the salting-out strength, which is sensitive to the anion and cation of salts. The salting-out capacity of salt with the same cation depends mainly on the anion, and the salting-out strength of salt increases with the valence of anion rising, which is suitable for most of the ATPS. The cation will also affect the salting-out strength of salt; in the present work, we studied the salting-out ability of K2HPO4 and (NH4)2HPO4 at 298.15 K,

which is plotted in Figure 3. These two salts have the same anion and different cations which were both monovalent cations. From Figure 3, it was found that the phase capacity of K2HPO4 is similar to that of (NH4)2HPO4. That is because K+ have the same salting-out strength as (NH4)+ in the case of the same anion, which was suggested by other literature.13 Liquid−Liquid Equilibrium Data and Correlation. For the systems composed of Brij35 and K2HPO4/(NH4)2HPO4, the liquid−liquid equilibrium (LLE) data determined at T = (288.15, 298.15, and 308.15) K were given in Tables 9 and 10, respectively. The tie-line of the investigated systems at three temperatures were plotted in Figures 4 and 5, respectively. The LLE data was correlated using the Othmer−Tobias and Bancroft40 equation (eqs 10 and 11) which were empirical correlation equations for the tie lines. ⎛ 1 − w b ⎞n ⎛ 1 − w1t ⎞ 2 ⎟⎟ ⎟ = k1⎜⎜ ⎜ t b ⎝ w1 ⎠ ⎝ w2 ⎠

parameters of this equation along with the square of correlation coefficient values (R2) and SDs for the studied systems are given in Table 13. The value of salting-out coefficient given in the Table 13 increases with the rise in temperature, which demonstrates that the salting-out strength gets better when temperature is elevatory. The salting-out strength enhancing leads to the increase in the value of salting-out coefficient, which is consistent with what we previously described. From the R2 and SD showed in Tables 11 to 13, it was found that eq 13 was more appropriate to correlate the LLE data for our systems. Effect of Temperature on the Tie-Line. The tie-line of the Brij35-K2HPO4 ATPS and that of the Brij35-(NH4)2HPO4 ATPS at different temperatures were plotted in Figures 4 and 5, respectively. From the two figures, it was found that the absolute value of the slope of the tie-line increases with the temperature rising, which is consistent with the value of the slope listed in Tables 8 and 9. In present work the slope of the tie-line (STL) was expressed as STL = ΔY/ΔX, where ΔX and ΔY represent the concentration of salt and Brij35 in the top phase minus that of salt and Brij35 in bottom phase. As in the cases mentioned earlier, the increase in temperature causes the hydrophobicity of Brij35 increasing, which prompts the water to come into the bottom phase from the top phase. With the temperature increasing, the concentration of salt in bottom phase decreases, and by contrast, that in top phase increases, which leads to the decrease in the value of ΔX; on the other hand, the concentration of Brij35 increases in the top phase and decreases in the bottom phase causing the value of ΔY to increase. It stands to reason, then, that the absolute value of “STL” will increase with the increase in the value of ΔY and decrease in the value of ΔX. The tie-line length (TLL), as one of predominant influence on the separation of materials using aqueous two-phase systems, changes regularly with the variation of the temperature. From Figures 3 and 4, it was found that the tie-line length increases with the temperature rising.

determined at (288.15, 298.15, and 308.15) K. The binodal data for these systems were satisfactorily described by the proposed equations, and the tie-line compositions for the studied systems were satisfactorily correlated with Othmer− Tobias and Bancroft along with the simple Setschenow-type equations. Additionally, the effect of temperature on the binodal curves was studied, and it was found that the two phases are more likely to form at higher temperatures for the investigated systems, which corresponds to the value of EEV calculated by eq 6. The increase in temperature will enhance the hydrophobicity of Brij35, which makes the slope of the tieline rise. Finally, the formation of aqueous two-phase system was endothermic and driven by entropy increase from the calculated free energy (ΔG), enthalpy change (ΔH), and entropy change (ΔS). 2320
