A novel method for treatment of phenolic compounds in cokery wastewater by propyl-alcohol ammonium sulfate aqueous two-phase system was investigted.The effects of the amount of ammonium sulfate used,the amount of propyl-alcohol used,pH value on extractield was studied.Extraction was optimized using a L9(34)orthogonal test.The results indicated optimum extraction conditions were the amount of ammonium sulfate used of 18.0 g,the amount of propyl-alcohol used of 16 mL,and pH value of 3.0.A extraction yield of 99.37% was achived under optimum extraction conditions and via secondary extraction.
