Synthesis method of ceramic ink solvent

The invention provides a synthesis method of a ceramic ink solvent, which comprises the following steps: by using palmitic acid and isooctyl alcohol as raw materials, adding a solid acid catalyst to synthesize a ceramic ink solvent isooctyl palmitate. The solid acid catalyst is formed by taking aluminum oxide as a carrier, taking ferric oxide nanoparticles and stannic oxide nanoparticles as activeingredients and loading sulfate ions. The solid acid catalyst is controllable in morphology, large in specific surface area and good in stability, shows high catalytic activity on isooctyl palmitateserving as a ceramic ink solvent synthesized by esterification reaction, and can enable the isooctyl palmitate to have the characteristic of high conversion rate; and in the synthesis process of the isooctyl palmitate, the solid acid catalyst can be recycled, the synthesis cost can be reduced, the synthesis process is green and environment-friendly, and the synthesized isooctyl palmitate has the characteristics of stable performance, non-toxic volatile matter, low viscosity, moderate surface tension and the like, and is suitable for being used as a ceramic ink solvent.
