Measurement and correlation of partition coefficients of baicalin in EOPO/salt aqueous two-phase systems
The partition coefficients of baicalin were measured in ethylene oxide and propylene oxide (EOPO)/salt aqueous two-phase systems at 298.15K. It was found that most of baicalin partitioned into EOPO-rich phase. The partition coefficients of baicalin varied from 10 to 120. The effect of various factors, including tie-line length, salt composition, molecular weight of EOPO, and solution pH, on the partition behavior was investigated in EOPO/salt systems. Furthermore the partition coefficients of baicalin were correlated using the modified Diamond-Hsu model. Good agreement with experimental data is obtained. The average relative deviations are less than 5.0%.
