In this work, equilibrium diagrams for aqueous two-phase systems composed by polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 g.mol-1, copper sulfate or zinc sulfate and water were determined in the temperatures of 5, 10, 35 and 45 ºC. Each diagram was composed by five tie lines. In the quantification of the phase s components, the salt and water contents were determined, respectively, by atomic absorption and liofilization measurements. The PEG content was calculated by difference. The effects of the temperature and salt type on the aqueous systems were analyzed. It was observed, in a general way, an increase in the two-phase area with the elevation of the temperature. There was also an increment in the difference between the intensive properties of the system with the temperature variation, what can be observed by the variation of the tie lines length data. In relation to the salt type effect, the aqueous two-phase systems studied share the same anion 2-) and they have cations with same valences (Cu2+ and Zn2+). The highest capacity of phase s induction was observed for Zn2+. Its ∆hidG is very close to that of Cu2+ (although a little less negative) what indicates that other factors as smaller ionic radius and larger water solubility (ZnSO4) seem to contribute in a more incisive way to the observed result.
