In this paper, a solid acid catalyst (ZPS–PVPA–SO3H) was prepared by anchoring thiol group on zirconium poly(styrene-phenylvinyl-phosphonate)-phosphate (ZPS–PVPA), followed by oxidation of thiol groups to obtain sulfonic acid groups. The solid acid catalyst was characterized by XPS, X-ray, EDS, SEM, and TG-DSC. The successful preparation of sulfonic acid-functionalized ZPS–PVPA was confirmed. Subsequently, the catalytic performance of ZPS–PVPA–SO3H was investigated in the epoxidation of soybean oil. The results demonstrated that ZPS–PVPA–SO3H can effectively catalyze epoxidation of soybean oil with TBHP as an oxidant. Moreover, there was no significant decrease in catalytic activity after 5 repeated uses of the ZPS–PVPA–SO3H. Interestingly, the ZPS–PVPA–SO3H was kept in 2 mol/L of HCl overnight after the end of the seventh reaction, and the catalytic activity was gradually restored during the eighth to tenth cycles.

This study makes use of soybean oil to produce biodiesel using SO42-/ZrO2-HJ-2# caly solid acid catalyst (SZ-HJ-2#). It was through coprecipitation and impregnation method that the catalyst was prepared which was then characterized by means of FE-SEM, XRD, EDS, BET, FT-IR, ICP-MS, NH3-TPD and XPS. The catalytic property of the synthesized catalyst was determined by using it to produce biodiesel from soybean oil. A study was carried out to find the effect of the different preparation condition of catalyst affecting the process. For SZ-HJ-2#, Optimized condition of 0.5 mol/L(zirconium salt solution), 1.5 mol/L (the concentration of sulfuric acid impregnating solution) and 450℃(calcination temperature). Optimized conditions of 8.32:1 methanol to soybean oil molar ratio and catalytic loading of 1 wt% at 55℃ with a stirring rate of 500 rpm for a reaction duration of 10 h gave a maximum yield of 89.6 wt%. Moreover, the further investigation indicated the catalytic activities were closely related to the ratio of Brönsted acid sites and intensity on catalysts. Besides, the excellent performance of the catalyst during recycling was shown by conducting reusability study.
