[0002] Esterification reaction is a kind of organic chemical reaction, which is the reaction of alcohol with carboxylic acid or inorganic acid containing oxygen to generate ester and water. Esterification reaction can be divided into three types: carboxylic acid and alcohol reaction, inorganic acid containing oxygen and alcohol reaction, and strong inorganic acid and alcohol reaction. The esterification reaction of carboxylic acid and alcohol is reversible, and the reaction is generally very slow, so a catalyst is usually used.
[0003] Sulfuric acid is a commonly used catalyst in esterification reaction, but it has strong corrosion and relatively long reaction time for esterification reaction. Strong acid cation exchange resin catalyst overcomes the strong corrosion problem of homogeneous acid catalysis, and has the advantage of easy separation from the product, and is widely used in various manufacturing fields such as petroleum chemical industry, fine chemical industry and pharmaceutical industry. However, strong acid cation exchange resin catalyst generally has the technical problem of poor heat stability, and esterification reaction is generally carried out under heating conditions, which will affect the catalytic activity of strong acid cation exchange resin catalyst, and further affect the esterification reaction, thereby reducing the yield of esterification reaction.
