The influence of different uncharged and charged organic compounds on the Lowest Solution Temperature (LST) of a water/dipropylene glycol propyl ether (DPnP) mixture is investigated. Depending on the nature of the additive, a salting-out or salting-in behavior could be observed. For the binary mixture, a salting-out effect is associated with a decrease of the LST with increasing additive concentrations. The reverse effects are observed with increasing salting-in additive concentrations. Typical sugars, short carboxylate sodium salts, ammonium organic salts and amino-acids were found to be salting-out, whereas all studied sweeteners and organic adds showed a salting-in behavior. The Pentasodium phytate ((Phy(5-), 5Na(+))) was found being the most efficient organic salting-out compound. Three possible applications were investigated in order to compare the salting-out effect of (Phy(5-), 5Na(+)) to classical inorganic salts. First, the liquid-liquid extraction of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was investigated and compared to former results obtained using lithium, sodium and aluminium. sulfate salts. Secondly, we considered a liquid-liquid, ethanol-water separation and compared the results to the one obtained using ammonium sulfate and potassium pyrophosphate. Finally, the salting-out effect of (Phy(5-), 5Na(+)) on glycerol was investigated and also compared to the inorganic salts, sodium chloride and lithium sulfate as well as potassium and sodium phosphates. Due to higher water solubility, (Phy(5-), 5Na(+)) allowed a more pronounced separation of HMF than the tested sulfate salts. This high water solubility drives also to a more pronounced separation of ethanol in comparison to ammonium sulfate; potassium pyrophosphate being the most water soluble and most efficient salt to separate ethanol and water. The use of (Phy(5-), 5Na(+)) and potassium pyrophosphate showed a salting-out effect on glycerol in contrast to the inorganic salts sodium chloride and lithium sulfate for which a salting-in effect on glycerol was observed. The salting-out effect of sodium triphosphate was limited by its water solubility. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
