The chemicals used in the experiment are commercially
available, and the specific information is shown in Table 1. The

water with a conductivity of ≤1.2 × 10 S·m was doubly
distilled water (DDW). In addition, there is no p-MePhSO K

in the market. Thus, p-MePhSO K was obtained by the

reaction of p-toluene sulphonic acid with KOH referring to the

method of Zhao et al. (2013). Then, the synthesized p-
MePhSO K was separated and purified in the experiment for

subsequent analysis. The purify of p-MePhSO K was

the solubility of samples was measured in this

Then, they were kept still for at least 12 h to make sure that the
suspended crystals in the system were sedimented. In the
equilibrium operation, there should always exist a solid phase
in the bottle. An appropriate amount (2−3 mL) of the
supernatant solution in the system was carefully sucked out
with a syringe filter, and its constitution was determined. When
two continual analyses gave identical results, the equilibrium of
the system was reached. Otherwise, the system was continued
to be rotated till the equilibrium was achieved. It generally
takes about 15 days to achieve the equilibrium state. (3) When
the system reaches the equilibrium, the solid phase and liquid
