The organic salt tri-potassium citrate showed to be a good option for the
substitution of commonly used inorganic salts, in ATPS formation;
5. Conclusions
26
For the first time:
The application of IL-based ATPS shows to be an improved technique for
concentrating the levels of BPA from biological fluids;
it was addressed the effect of micelles formation and their impact on the
extraction of (bio)molecules (both charged and non-charged);
For all investigated systems, extraction efficiencies of BPA are higher than
98.5 %.
Significant impact in extraction processes

6. Future work
27
To understand better the mechanisms underlying to the micelle formation in
these systems and their effect in the extraction process;
To study novel ATPS composed of IL and other organic salts and their potential
in the extraction of different types of compounds;
Extraction of BPA with IL-based ATPS:
To work with real body fluid samples, aiming at providing a general
overview of the levels of BPA in the Portuguese population and its relation
with several types of diseases.
To support the finding of the micelle-mediated extraction – application of
