Abstract
- Abstract: The phase diagrams of PEO1500+sodium tartrate+water, PPO400+sodium tartrate+water, PEO1500+sodium succinate+water, PPO400+sodium succinate+water, PEO1500+sodium citrate+water, PPO400+sodium citrate+water and PPO400+sodium acetate+water aqueous two-phase systems were determined at (283.15, 298.15, and 313.15)K. Both equilibrium phases composition were analyzed by conductimetry and refractive index. In this paper, the influences of polymer hydrophobicity, salt nature and temperature on the phase diagram were analyzed. The phase separation processes was endothermic and the hydrophobic increase make easier the phase splitting, while the electrolyte capacity to induce phase separation follow the order: citrate>tartrate>succinate. The consistency of the tie-line data was ascertained by applying the Othmer–Tobias correlation. The experimental data were correlated with the NRTL model for the activity coefficient, with estimation of new interaction energy parameters. The results, analyzed in terms of root mean square deviations between experimental and calculated compositions, were considered satisfactory. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
