In general, the esterification reaction is carried out by the homogeneous acid catalyst. The whole procedure procecture takes shorter time, but the subsequent phase separation for product can be very troublesome and results in plenty of waste water leading to environmental pollutions. Using solid superacid as a catalyst can reduce time for product separation and avoid environmental pollutions. On the other hand, it has the resistance high selectivity, high advantages of workability at temperature, water proof acid, quick regeneration, and long-lasting operation cycles. Due to its optimal characteristics in hardness, strength, toughness, wearresistance and large specific surface area, Zirconia is very suitable for the use of catalyst. In this study various heating temperatures (500,700,900℃) and heating time points (5,24hr) were taken to prepare zirconia particles in different nano crystalline sizes. The nano-sized zirconia solid superacid was then prepared by the soaking method with sulfurice acid. The characteristics of samples were examined by XRD, BET surface area and ammonia-TPD experiments. The nano-zirconia solid superacid was used as the catalyst for esterification reaction of palm acid oil. The result shows that the more severe treatment conditions would make zirconia crystal particles larger in size, and BET surface area lower in acidity. It results in the lower acidity of samples and then lower esterification reaction activity. In the range of 1.0 to 6.0M of sulfuric acid soaking concentration, higher soaking concentrations would make samples higher in acidity, and exhibits higher esterification reaction activity.
