Abstract The novel ordered mesoporous carbon-based solid acid catalyst, possessing highly ordered mesoporous channel structure, high density of —SO3H groups, was prepared by softtemplate method. The catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorptiondesorption, X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, EDX spectroscopy and acid-base titration. The effects of carbonization temperature on mesoporous porous structure, surface acidity and catalytic performance of mesoporous carbonbased solid acid catalysts were investigated. The experimental results showed that the optimal carbonization temperature was 500 ℃ and the mesoporous carbonbased solid acid catalyst carbonized under 500 ℃ contained highly ordered mesoporous channel structure and high acid density after sulfonation. The resulting catalyst was applied to the synthesis of bisphenol A from condensation of acetone with phenol and showed significantly higher activity than several solid acid catalysts(001×7, D072, Amorphous carbonbased solid acid). It can be clearly seen that the ordered mesoporous carbonbased solid sulfonic acid catalyst is a novel efficient solid acid catalyst and can be applied to the area of bisphenol A production.
