Retrograde solubility

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010304",
  "term": "Retrograde solubility",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A phenomenon where the solubility of a solute in a solvent decreases as the temperature increases, contrary to the more common behavior of increasing solubility with temperature. This behavior is often observed in gas-liquid systems or in certain polymer solutions. It is a key consideration in processes such as supercritical fluid extraction.",
