Cy. Seah et al., THE EFFECT OF HALIDES ON THE LOWER CRITICAL SOLUTION TEMPERATURE OF THE 2,6-LUTIDINE WATER-SYSTEM, Fluid phase equilibria, 89(2), 1993, pp. 345-350
The lower critical solution temperatures of 2,6-lutidine (2,6-dimethyl
pyridine) in brine have been measured for a range of halide solutions
. The effect of the anion is significant with iodide having a raising
effect compared with lutidine in distilled water (34-degrees-C) and br
omide, chloride and fluoride having a depressing effect. The effect of
different cations is not so significant. The implications of such obs
ervations are wide ranging for both theoretical and industrial applica
tion.
