Abstract: Amorphous carbon material prepared from expanded starch and p-toluene sulfonic acid had been examined as a novel strong solid acid catalyst. The catalytic performances were studied on condensation of cyclohexanone with glycerol and characterized by XRD, IR,elementary analysis and TGA.The effects of molar ratio of glycerol with cyclohexanone, catalyst concentration and reaction time were discussed. The results of XRD and acid-base titration indicate the incompletely carbonization of the mixtures of expanded starch and p-toluene sulfonic acid results in amorphous carbon consisting of small polycyclic aromatic carbon sheets with high density of -SO3H groups. When the condensation reaction was carried out with n(glycerol)/n(cyclohexanone)1.2, mass fraction of catalyst 10%, cyclohexane 15 mL（Accounts for 10% of the total amount of liquid reactant ） and refluxe time of 120 min，the maximum yield of ketals is 99.2％. There was very little change in the catalytic activity of the regenerated catalyst，even after eight cycles. 
