To investigate the partition behavior of papain in the ionic liquids aqueous two-phase system containing [Cnmim]BF4+NaH2PO4
the binodal curve and liquid-liquid equilibrium was measured by means of cloud point at T 298.15 K and a 3D theoretical model was established. The data fitting of binodal and the equilibrium was based on Merchuk
Othmer-Tobias and Bancroft equations with a high degree of fitting of above 0.975 and 0.994
respectively. Then
the correlation between logarithm of the partition coefficient and both the concentration of ionic liquids in upper phase and the salt concentration in lower phase was studied
and a partition model was established by Matlab. The mean relative deviations between the experimental and calculated data were <5%
which was sufficient to prove the reliability of this model.
