“…Among all of the components of aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) including, e.g., polymers, ionic liquids, alcohols, salts, surfactants, sugars, among others, polymer–salt-based ATPSs are one of the most well-known components due to their simplicity, compatibility, and wide varieties. − Most reported research works on polymer–salt-based ATPSs are related to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and inorganic salts such as sulfate, − phosphate, , carbonate, , nitrate, or chloride . Poly(ethylene glycol) possesses superior properties such as low toxicity, neutrality, excellent biocompatibility, and solubility in both aqueous and organic solutions. ,, The information for the phase behavior of the polymer/salt aqueous two-phase systems, therefore, has substantial significance in the applications for much biological and environmental process design.…”
