Abstract: Synthesis of tributyl citrate using macroporous strong acid cationic exchange resin as a nonhomogeneous catalyst was investigated，the optimum reaction parameters were found as：citric acid to butanol molar ratio of 1∶4.5，catalyst amount of 20% citric acid mass，reaction temperature of 130℃，under which the esterification yield was above 94.3%. The reaction product purification was also investigated and the purity of purified tributyl citrate was higher than 99.5%.

摘要： 以大孔强酸性阳离子交换树脂为催化剂，研究了环保型增塑剂柠檬酸三丁酯的合成及分离提纯工艺条件。通过对诸多反应影响因素的考察，得到了最佳反应条件：n(柠檬酸):n(正丁醇)=1:4.5，催化剂用量为20%（以柠檬酸计算），反应温度130℃，酯化率94.3%。研究了反应产物的精制条件，最终得到纯度大于99.5%的产品。
