Abstract: In this paper, magnetic solid acid catalyst of SO42-/Co0.5Fe2.5O4-ZrO2 with different molar ratios has been synthesized, and the influence of magnetic substrates Co0.5Fe2.5O4 on particle size, crystallizing temperature, and crystal structure of ZrO2 was investigated. The catalytic activity of the magnetic solid acid was studied for esterification reaction, and life, recovery and variation of magnetic property of the catalyst were tested. The results show that the addition of the magnetic substrate not only magnetizes but also delay the conversion from ZrO2(t) to ZrO2(m) during the formation of solid superacid, which makes acid sites on the surface of sample more stable and promotes its superacidity and catalytic activity. The conversion of esterification catalyzed by SO42-/Co0.5Fe2.5O4-ZrO2 can reach 97.31% and 74.69% conversion can be obtained after it was used for 6 times in the reaction and after it was regenerated, the conversion reaches 96.25%, meaning that the catalytic activity of this catalyst may be recovered.
