中文摘要：

以不同浓度的H2SO4对膨润土进行改性，得到酸化膨润土催化剂x％H2SO4-BN（x=20，25，50，55，40），通过XRD，BET，FT—IR，Py-IR和NH3-TPD对膨润土的结构和性质进行表征，证明膨润土经酸化后，骨架结构基本没有变化，但是其比表面和孔容有很大的提高，且弱酸位增多．将其用于催化乙醇（EtOH）和叔丁醇（TBA）合成乙基叔丁基醚（ETBE）的醚化反应．结果表明，30％H2SO4-BN催化活性最好，最佳实验条件：催化剂用量为5．5％（催化剂与叔丁醇的质量百分比），反应温度130℃，原料摩尔比（EtOH：TBA）为2：1．

英文摘要：

Bentonites have been treated by different concentrations H2SO4 solution, and x% H2SO4-BN （x = 20, 25, 30, 35, 40） catalysts are obtained. XRD, BET, FT-IR, Py-IR and NH3-TPD are used to investigate the structure and properties of the bentonites, suggesting that the skeleton structure of the bentonites is not changed. Its surface area and pore volume are greatly improved in turn, and the week acid sites increase. Evaluation reaction of synthesis of ETBE from ethanol （EtOH） and tea-butyl alcohol （TBA） shows that 30% H2SO4-BN have the best catalytic activity, and the optimum experimental condition has been investigated.
