Abstract
Alumina doping and sulfation in hierarchically porous zirconia solid acids have been achieved simultaneously via one-pot and bi-surfactant-assisted self-assembly process, using aluminum sulfate as both Al and SO4 2- sources. The prepared composite solid acids showed much enhanced acidity and recycling catalytic activity for an esterification reaction compared with sulfated zirconia without alumina doping and Al-doped sulfated zirconia without hierarchically porous structure.
