Abstract

An aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) comprising triton X-100 as surfactant + sodium salts was suggested for the diazinon removal from aqueous media. Design of experimental (DOE) methodology using Taguchi orthogonal array (OA) was applied to evaluate the effects of four independent variables on the partitioning behavior of diazinon from aqueous solution. The results indicated that the salt type was the major contributory factor for diazinon removal. Among the salts, the highest diazinon removal efficiency was observed in case of tri-sodium citrate compared to other salts studied. The results showed that increasing the triton concentration increases the hydrophobicity of top phase, which resulted in diazinon strongly partitioning to the top triton-rich phase. In addition, thermodynamic parameters as function of temperature were computed for the studied system and the results showed that the diazinon extraction was controlled by entropy changes. Maximum extraction efficiency of diazinon from the experiments was determined at 69.57% under optimal conditions.
