硫酸化氧化锆有希望用作超强酸催化剂，不过其应用很有限，因为它只能以粉末态使用，难以从工艺物流分出。目前，日本能量公司正在推出一种片状的这种催化剂。超强酸催化剂是指酸性超过100％硫酸的催化剂。这种新催化剂旨在取代氯化铝、氢氟酸和硫酸等反应后必须除去的催化剂。 Sulfated zirconia is promising as a superacid catalyst, but its use is limited because it can only be used in a powder state and is difficult to separate from the process stream. At present, Japanese energy companies are introducing a sheet of this catalyst. Superacid catalyst refers to a catalyst that is over 100% sulfuric acid. This new catalyst is intended to replace the catalyst that must be removed after the reaction of aluminum chloride, hydrofluoric acid and sulfuric acid.
