Sulfonated ordered mesoporous carbon (SOH-OMC) solid acid catalysts from sucrose were prepared using hard-template method, and their catalytic performance as well as the deactivation mechanism for esterification of free fatty acids (FFAs) in waste cooking oils (WCOs) were evaluated. Effects of sulfonation time, sulfonation temperature and hard template structure type for the textural properties and acid properties of SOH-OMC were systematically investigated by N adsorption-desorption, FT-IR, NH-TPD, TEM and strong acid density analysis. The results indicated that, SOH-OMC(s)-6-160 catalyst, which was prepared by using SBA-15 as hard template at sulfonation time of 6 h and sulfonation temperature of 160 °C, had well-ordered mesoporous structure and high -SOH groups density (2.
