Abstract:

First,the constant-speed stage during the phase separation of aqueous two-phase system in static circumstance was properly hypothesized,and the framework of the rising rate model for dispersed phase droplets was estab-lished via mechanical analytical method.Next.the density difference between the bottom and the top phases,the viscosity and the phase ratio of two phases of 11 different PEG/phosphate aqueous two-phase systems were determined.Then,according to the volume variation of the dispersed phase measured by experiments,the rising rates of dispersed phase droplets in different systems were obtained.The model parameters were finally decided by means of the system identification.Thus,a mathematical model of the maximum rising rate of dispersed phase droplets during the phase separation of aqueous two-phase system was established.

Key words: aqueous two-phase system , droplet, rising rate, mathematical simulation
