The phase behavior of Triton X-100-salt aqueous two-phase systems was studied at 298 K.In consideration of the contributions of the sorption effect of the micelles
a theoretical model was established to describe the phase behavior of Triton X-100-salt aqueous two-phase systems and the distribution equilibrium of alkaline protease in the systems.Experimental results demonstrated the reliability and usefulness of the model.It was found that the model was suitable for neutral systems.Non-ionic surfactant combined easily with ions in the solution
thus influencing the behavior of the systems.Hydrophobicity of alkaline protease enhanced by salts in the systems increased the dissolution of protease.
