Description
Summary:The current study employed response surface methodology (RSM) with a face-centered central composite design (CCD) to indicate the essential variables on the partition coefficient of guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl) in the poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG)-phosphate aqueous two-phase system (ATPS). To evaluate the partition coefficients of GuHCl in the mentioned ATPS, the pH (7.0, 8.5 and 10.0), GuHCl concentration (1.0, 3.5 and 6.0% w/w), PEG molecular weight (2,000, 4,000 and 6,000 gmol −1 ) and PEG/potassium phosphate concentrations ratio were selected as independent variables. A quadratic model is suggested to find the impact of these variables. The suggested model has a strong harmony with the experimental data. The results of the model display that the GuHCl concentration and weight percent of the salt in feed have a large and small influence on the GuHCl partitioning.
