In this work, to separate the azeotrope of isopropanol and water using liquid-liquid extraction, two deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were prepared with methyl trioctyl ammonium chloride and (1-hexanol/1-decanol), which were characterized by 1 H NMR and were adopted as extractants. The liquid-liquid equilibrium data for the mixtures (DESs + isopropanol + water) were determined at 298.15 K and 308.15 K. The distribution ratio (D) and separation factor (S) were obtained to judge the extraction performance for the selected DESs. The calculated values of D and S showed that the separation of the mixture isopropanol and water by the DESs is feasible. In addition, the experimental data were successfully fitted by the NRTL model with the RMSD values less than 0.0080. The parameters of the NRTL model were optimized, which is helpful for the separation design and simulation.

The solvent‐free synthesis of surfactants of high‐carbon alkyl phosphate esters (C = 18, 22) using the polyphosphoric acid method was studied in this work. Phosphoric acid (85 wt%) and phosphorus pentoxide were used to prepare a phosphorylation agent. The preparation conditions of octadecyl and docosyl phosphates were optimized. With the optimized synthesis conditions, the high‐carbon alkyl phosphates were prepared with high yield, and their performances were validated. The results indicate that the high‐carbon alkyl phosphates displayed good emulsifying ability and dispersion performance was compared with the other cosmetic surfactants.
