Guanidine hydrochloride has been widely used in the initial recovery steps of active protein from the inclusion bodies in aqueous two-phase system (ATPS). The knowledge of the guanidine hydrochloride effects on the liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) phase diagram behavior is still inadequate and no comprehensive theory exists for the prediction of the experimental trends. Therefore the effect the guanidine hydrochloride on the phase behavior of PEG4000+ potassium phosphate+ water system at different guanidine hydrochloride concentrations and pH was investigated in this study. To fill the theoretical gaps, the typical of support vector machines was applied to the k-nearest neighbor method in order to develop a regression model to predict the LLE equilibrium of guanidine hydrochloride in the above mentioned system. Its advantage is its simplicity and good performance, with the disadvantage of an increase the execution time. The results of our method are quite promising: they were clearly better than those obtained by well-established methods such as Support Vector Machines, k-Nearest Neighbour and Random Forest. It is shown that the obtained results are more adequate than those provided by other common machine learning algorithms.
