The invention relates to a method for nitrifying 
paradichlorobenzene by using a 
solid acid catalyst, which comprises the following steps: (1) preparing a 0.3 mol / L 
zirconium oxychloride solution with a teflon 
beaker in a fuming 
cupboard, adding a proper amount of HF, sufficiently stirring until the HF is completely dissolved, and transferring into a constant-pressure 
dropping funnel for later use; (2) preparing a 1.0 mol / L 
phenylphosphonic acid solution in the fuming 
cupboard; (3) slowly and dropwisely adding the 
zirconium oxychloride solution into the 
phenylphosphonic acid solution, and keeping the temperature; (4) after keeping the temperature, carrying out vacuum 
filtration, continuing carrying out 
water washing and vacuum 
filtration on the obtained 
solid until the Cl<-> concentration of the last filtrate is constant, and 
drying the finally obtained filter residue in a 
drying oven; (5) taking 1 mol of 
paradichlorobenzene, heating at 70 DEG C until the 
paradichlorobenzene is completely molten, and adding 1-3g of 
solid acid catalyst; and (6) slowly and dropwisely adding 1.1 mol of fuming 
nitric acid, and reacting. The method has the advantages of less 
liquid waste discharge and recyclable 
solid acid, and implements resource regeneration; and the conversion rate of chlorinated aromatics is up to 99% or above.
