The invention discloses a method for synthesis of 
ferulic acid ester by 
solid acid catalysis, and relates to a method for synthesis of the 
ferulic acid ester, and the method is as follows: a, preparation of silica 
powder, to be more specific, taking 
sodium metasilicate nonahydrate to prepare into 
aqueous solution, starting to stir, heating, adding dropwise 
ethyl acetate, after gel is formed, performing low temperature 
vacuum drying to obtain white silica 
powder; b, catalyst preparation, to be more specific, putting the silica 
powder prepared by the step a into a 
muffle furnace for activation, mixing into 
aqueous solution of 
sodium bisulfate, soaking, filtering by suction, washing with 
distilled water until the filtrate is colorless, 
processing by low-temperature 
vacuum drying for standby use; c, catalyzed synthesis of the 
ferulic acid ester, to be more specific, adding ferulic acid, 
alcohol and a catalyst into a three necked flask equipped with a stirrer, a 
thermometer, a 
reflux condenser and a water separator, stirring, heating for 
reflux until no water is separated out in the water separator; and d, 
drying and 
recovery. The process is simple, cheap, non-toxic, non-corrosive and 
environmentally friendly, catalytic activity is high, catalytic reaction products are easy to separate and can be repeatedly used.
