Ising criticality aqueous electrolyte solutions

From a global assessment of these results, it seems inescapable to conclude that mean-field behavior does not remain valid asymptotically close to the critical point. Rather, ionic systems seem to show Ising-to-mean-field crossover. Such a crossover has been a recurring result observed near liquid-liquid consolute points in Coulombic electrolyte solutions, in ternary aqueous electrolyte solutions containing an organic cosolvent, and in binary aqueous solutions of NaCl near the liquid-vapor critical line.
