Cloud points of material difficult to solubilize are determined using a static variable volume system with a view cell. The materials include surfactant used for templating, such as Triton 11 and Tergisol. Supercritical carbon dioxide plus entrainer (alcohols) used as the solvent. The results are modeled using PRSV, SAFT and extended to other conditions and thermodynamic landmarks.
