中文摘要：

介绍了国内外对SO4^2-／Mx0y型固体超强酸、沸石催化剂、固体杂多酸和强酸性阳离子交换树脂等固体酸催化剂催化酯化反应的最新研究进展，比较了4类固体酸催化剂的优缺点。重点讨论了SO4^2-／MxOy型固体超强酸的载体和表面促进剂的选择，指出SO4^2-／MxOy型固体酸是催化酯化反应较理想的催化剂。

英文摘要：

Recent research in esterification catalyzed by solid acid catalysts such as SO4^2-/MxOy of solid superacids, zeolites, solid heteropolyacids and sulfonic resins was discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of the four solid acid catalysts were compared. It was pointed out that the SO4^2-/MxOy solid acids were of the suitable catalysts used in esterification.
