A heterogeneous acid catalyst is prepared by coating a carrier with a dispersion, preferably an aqueous emulsion, containing a fluorocarbonsulfonic acid polymer in the sulfonyl fluoride form, removing the excess water, heating to a temperature above the softening point of the polymer for a time, and then converting the polymer to the active sulfonic acid form. Alternatively, a heterogeneous acid catalyst is prepared by treating a carrier material with a solution containing a fluorocarbonsulfonic acid polymer dissolved in a suitable solvent, removing the solvent, and heat treating the coated carrier to prevent the polymer from being leached off the carrier. Preferably, the substrate has pores of about 0.1 micrometers or greater and a surface area of 20 m²/g or less. The catalysts with a support having an average pore diameter of at least 0.1 micrometers are novel and claimed per se.
异构酸催化剂的制备方法是:用含有磺酰氟形式的氟碳磺酸聚合物的分散液(最好是水乳液)涂覆载体,除去多余的水分,加热到高于聚合物软化点的温度一段时间,然后将聚合物转化为活性磺酸形式。另一种方法是,用含有溶解在适当溶剂中的氟碳磺酸聚合物的溶液处理载体材料,除去溶剂,然后对涂覆的载体进行热处理,以防止聚合物从载体上浸出,从而制备异相酸催化剂。优选的是,基质具有约 0.1 微米或更大的孔隙和 20 平方米/克或更小的表面积。具有平均孔径至少为 0.1 微米的载体的催化剂本身是新颖的,并已提出权利要求。
