“…As the temperature increases, the empirical parameter, S k , becomes more negative in the I-D-L system as well as in the case of the I-D-X system, which also supports the same. According to Krishna et al, the positive K s ϕ ∞ arises from the free space available between the molecules in a mixture, which leads to high solvent intrinsic compressibility, thereby making the solution more compressible in nature . The overall increase seen in the dilution values of both volume and isentropic compressibility of a ternary system is an indication of strengthening in the solute (here, lignin or xylose) and cosolute ([DBU][OTf]) interactions as explained by S. Panda et al …”
