Phase Diagrams of the Aqueous Two-Phase Systems of Poly(ethylene glycol)/Sodium Polyacrylate/Salts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aqueous two-phase systems consisting of polyethylene glycol (PEG), sodium polyacrylate (NaPAA), and a salt have been studied. The effects of the polymer size, salt type (NaCl, Na2SO4, sodium adipate and sodium azelate) and salt concentrations on the position of the binodal curve were investigated. The investigated PEG molecules had a molar mass of 2,000 to 8,000 g/mol, while that of NaPAA was 8,000 g/mol. Experimental phase diagrams, and tie lines and calculated phase diagrams, based on Flory-Huggins theory of polymer solutions are presented. Due to strong enthalpic and entropic balancing forces, the hydrophobicity of the added salt has a strong influence on the position of the binodal, which could be reproduced by model calculations.

Analysis of partitioning of organic compounds and proteins in aqueous polyethylene glycol-sodium sulfate aqueous two-phase systems in terms of solute-solvent interactions.
Partition behavior of nine small organic compounds and six proteins was examined in poly(ethylene glycol)-8000-sodium sulfate aqueous two-phase systems containing 0.5M osmolyte (sorbitol, sucrose, trehalose, TMAO) and poly(ethylene glycol)-10000-sodium sulfate system, all in 0.01M sodium phosphate buffer, pH 6.8. The differences between the solvent properties of the coexisting phases (solvent d...
متن کاملExtractive bioconversion of xylan for production of xylobiose and xylotriose using a PEG6000/sodium citrate aqueous two-phase system
−Aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) was applied for extraction bioconversion of xylan by xylanase from Trichoderma viride. Phase diagrams for poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) and sodium citrate were determined at room temperature. The ATPS composed of 12.99% (w/w) PEG6000 and 12.09% (w/w) sodium citrate was favorable for partition of xylanase and used for extraction bioconversion of xylan. Batch hydro...

The polysaccharide maltodextrin (Mdx) can provide a low cost alternative to substitute the fractioned dextran for the use with polyethylene glycol (PEG) in aqueous two-phase polymer polymers systems. Aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) partitioning has been used to recover and concentrate proteins from Shrimp Waste and offers many advantages along with biomass removal. In this work we have studied ...
متن کاملCell membrane abnormality detected in erythrocytes from patients with multiple sclerosis by partition in two-polymer aqueous-phase systems.
Erythrocytes from multiple sclerosis patients differ significantly (p less than 0.005) from those from controls with regard to hydrophobic affinity partition in two-polymer aqueous-phase systems containing dextran, poly(ethylene glycol) and poly (ethylene glycol)-fatty acid esters. The most likely source of the abnormality is the cell membrane.

A continuous perforated rotating disc contactor was used to extract the enzyme ascorbic oxidoreductase (E.C.1.10.3.3) from crude extract of Curcubita maxima with an aqueous two-phase system of poly (ethylene glycol) and phosphate salts. The effect of dispersed phase velocity on either protein mass transfer coefficients or separation efficiency at 1, 2 and 3 mL/min was studied. An increase of th...
