Abstract
The coexistence curves of the liquid-liquid equilibria (LLE) for systems of -caprolactam with heptane, octane, nonane, decane or 2,2,4-trimethylpentane have been determined by the method of the critical opalescence using a laser scattering technique. All the curves show an upper critical solution temperature (UCST), have a rather horizontal top and their symmetry depends on the size of the alkane. The UCST increases almost linearly with the chain length of the n-alkane. For the octane mixture, the UCST is lower than for the solution including 2,2,4-trimethylpentane.
