    Does anyone know of an anionic surfactant with a high cloud point, and high solubility in a strongly alkaline solution?

    Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, sodium xylene sulfonate, sodium dioctyl sulfosucccinate (aka “DOSS”) and virtually any metal alkyl phosphate surfactant. The higher the pH the greater their solubility and lower their Krafft Number.
