The present invention belongs to the field of 
chemical industry preparation, and particularly relates to a 
glycerol tert-butyl 
ether preparation method, which comprises that 
glycerol, diisobutylene, 
liquefied petroleum gas and an acidic catalyst are subjected to an 
alkylation reaction to obtain the 
glycerol tert-butyl 
ether. According to the present invention, glycerol and 
isobutylene are subjected to an 
addition reaction under the action of a cationic acidic catalyst to form the glycerol tert-butyl 
ether; the process belongs to the ideal atomic economic reaction, the process 
route is simplified, the total number of the equipment is less, the diisobutylene is introduced into the reaction raw materials so as to reduce the 
isobutylene self-
polymerization, the side-product is less during the whole preparation process, the 
viscosity of glycerol is effectively reduced, and the 
solubility of 
isobutylene in the 
liquid phase is increased; the process is low carbon and 
environmental protection, the acidic catalyst used in the reaction is non-toxic and harmless, and the production process is 
environmentally friendly; the 
enol addition etherification method can be widely used and can replace the 
alkyd esterification method; and the preparation method has great market prospects and great economic value.
