    Abstract
    A new local composition model was used to study the phase behavior of polymer-polymer and polymer-salt aqueous two-phase systems. The proposed model has three terms which account for the combinatorial, the long-range and the short-range effects in solution. The Flory-Huggins and the Debye-Hückel models were used for the combinatorial and long-range contributions. The interaction parameters of the model studied in this work can be regressed using a non-liner regression between the experimental data and those obtained from the proposed model. Also, this model was applied for modeling the partitioning of biomolecules in polymer-polymer and polymer-salt aqueous two-phase systems. The results...

    Abstract
    In the past years, upstream processes have been receiving a considerable R&D investment and commercial attention. The downstream processes have, however, been overlooked causing a production bottleneck that is shifting the costs of production from up to downstream. The need to develop more efficient and cost-effective separation and purification processes is, thus, crucial in order to improve process efficiency and economics keeping the required high standards of quality for market approval. In this research, promising aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) containing Tween 20 as a quite biocompatible non-ionic surfactant and different salts (K3Citrate and NaH2PO4) were prepared and their...

    , Article Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research ; Volume 48, Issue 23 , Volume 48, Issue 23 , 2009 , Pages 10614-10618 ; 08885885 (ISSN) Motamed, S ; Ghaemmaghami, F ; Alemzadeh, I ; Sharif University of Technology
    ACS  2009
    Abstract
    Partial purification of plant peroxidase from turnip (Brassica rapa) was optimized. Aqueous two phase system and precipitation by ammonium sulfate (as two parallel purification methods) were used. Polyethylene glycol/ammonium sulfate/NaCl (25:7:3%, w/v) system followed by gel-filtration chromatography gave a purification factor of about 36 fold. On the other hand, ammonium sulfate precipitation (60-80% deg) followed by gel filtration gave only about 13 purification fold. Hence, the aqueous two-phase system was more efficient and useful method as a primary purification step since it was less laborious, less time-consuming, and led to more purification factor. The partially purified turnip...
