Abstract
A novel solid acid was prepared from boric,phosphorous and concentrated sulphuric acid by a simple method.The result showed that the solid acid is an effective catalyst for the esterification of acetic acid with alcohols.High conversion and selectivity of esters were achieved,and the catalyst could be efficiently recycled after easily separated from the reactants and product.
