The precursors were treated by 0.5 mol/L H2SO4. Samples of SO4^2-/ZrO2-La2O3 nano-crystalline catalysts were obtained by baking the treated precursors at different temperatures. The acidic properties of SO4^2-/ZrO2-La2O3 were tested by the Hammett indicator method. The phase composition, specific area, particle structure, and surface state were characterized by X-ray diffraction, BET, transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectrum, and X-ray photoelectron spec- troscopy. The catalytic activities were estimated by esterification of acetic acid with glycerin. It was shown that the catalyst prepared by ultrasonic stirring and low temperature (-15 ℃) exhibited highly active sites and high catalytic property.展开更多
