For the development of novel liquid extraction systems, systematic experimental data and methods of predicting liquid−liquid equilibria are required. In this work, we report experimental data for a family of aqueous biphasic systems (ABSs) containing 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide/chloride, 1hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide/chloride, and 1-methyl-3octylimidazolium bromide/chloride in the presence of an inorganic salt (K 2 HPO 4 or K 3 PO 4 ) and assess the predictive capabilities of the ePC-SAFT equation of state in its classical form. The experimental binodal data for eight ABSs have been obtained in a broad concentration range. Although the ePC-SAFT gives a good description of the properties of binary systems, the deviations between experimental and predicted tie lines for the ternary ABSs are significant and the predictions are not quantitative. Improvement in the electrostatic term of the model is required for better performance. We systematically study the partitioning of L-tryptophan, taken as a model solute, and discuss the effect of the alkyl chain length of the imidazolium cation [C n mim] + and the specific effect of the anion of ionic liquids (ILs) (chloride versus bromide). We show that the alkyl chain length of [C n mim] + has almost no effect on the partition coefficients of L-tryptophan (K Trp ) in the ABSs with K 3 PO 4 , while lower K Trp values are found for ILs with the [C 4 mim] + cation for the ABSs with K 2 HPO 4 . A substantial specific effect of the anion of ILs is only observed when the salting-out effect of the inorganic salt is most pronounced, i.e., in the case of the ABSs with K 3 PO 4 . It should be specially mentioned that K Trp values are higher for the ABSs studied in this work in comparison with the available literature data for other IL−salt−water ABSs. This fact implies that the investigated ABSs have high potential for the extraction of biocomponents.
