Liquid fuels can be produced from triglyceride sources via thermo-catalytic process. In the present work, the production of bio-fuel by catalytic cracking of waste fish fat in a continuous reactor at atmospheric pressure has been studied. Different catalysts were used and maximum bio-oil yield of 66% with the lowest acidity of 4.3 mgKOH/goil was obtained with a controlled reaction temperature of 500°C and Na2CO3 as a catalyst. After chemical treatment of this bio-oil, the acidity decreases to 1.5mgKOH/goil. These bio-fuels were characterized according to their physico-chemical properties, and compared with the diesel fuel. The results show that the catalytic cracking process represents an alternative method to produce bio-fuels with physico-chemical characteristics similar to petroleum fuels from fish oil industrial residues.

The average consumption rate of cooking oil in Indonesia on 2019 was 61 million litre. Because of that makes the waste cooking oil produces very high to. To prevent the consument littering the waste cooking oil, we can recycle it to be biofuel with many fraction such as biodiesel, biogasoline, and biokerosene. There are many ways to process the waste cooking oil to be, biofuel one of them is catalytic cracking. This study is induct by observe the biofuel that form from the catalytic cracking process with cooking oil as the base material using a hybrid catalyst ZSM-5/Alumina. The purpose of this study is to observe the influence of ZSM-5 and Alumina ratio as heterogenic catalyst and also the used of the catalyst frequently. The highest conversion of liquid product was produce with value 41,67%  at alumina variation of 17,5%. The used of catalyst frequently will affect the decrease amount of liquid product that produce. The analysis of chemical properties using GC-MS obtained the amount of kerosene 29,917 %; gasoline 3,996 %; and diesel 10,1 %. The other product was carboxylics acids,alcohol, and unidentified compound.   Keyword : Cooking oil, biofuel, ZSM-5, Alumina, catalytic cracking

The effects of Al2O3 coating on the performance of silica nanospring (NS) supported Co catalysts for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) were evaluated in a quartz fixed-bed microreactor. The Co/NS-Al2O3 catalysts were synthesized by coating the Co/NS and NS with Al2O3 by an alkoxide-based sol-gel method (NS-Al-A and NS-Al-B, respectively) and then by decorating them with Co. Co deposition was via an impregnation method. Catalysts were characterized before the FTS reaction by the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, temperature programmed reduction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetric analysis in order to find correlations between physico-chemical properties of catalysts and catalytic performance. The products of the FTS were trapped and analyzed by GC-TCD and GC-MS to determine the CO conversion and reaction selectivity. The Al2O3 coated NS catalyst had a significant affect in FTS activity and selectivity in both Co/NS-Al2O3 catalysts. A high CO conversion (82.4%) and Σ > C6 (86.3%) yield were obtained on the Co/NS-Al-B catalyst, whereas the CO conversion was 62.8% and Σ > C6 was 58.5% on the Co/NS-Al-A catalyst under the same FTS experimental condition. The Co/NS-Al-A catalyst yielded the aromatic selectivity of 10.2% and oxygenated compounds.

Experimental study on the physico-chemical properties of bio-oil and diesel emulsification has been carried out in this paper, which was based on the preliminary experiment. The effect of surface tension and viscosity on the stability of emulsions were particular concerned. It was found that the longest stable time, the lowest viscosity and lowest surface tension can be obtained simultaneously when the hydrophile and lipophile balance (HLB) value was of the optimal value, i.e. 6.5. Experimental results indicated that the stable time of emulsion decreased rapidly with the increase of bio-oil content, while the value of surface tension and viscosity increased. Meantime, it was shown that the most stable emulsions had the lowest value of viscosity and surface tension.

Fast pyrolysis of biomass to produce bio-oil is an important technology to utilize lignocellulosic biomass, because the liquid bio-oil is regarded as a promising candidate of petroleum fuels. However, bio-oil is a low-grade liquid fuel, and required to be upgraded before it can be directly utilized in existing thermal devices. Catalytic cracking is an effective way to upgrade bio-oil, which can be performed either on the liquid bio-oil or the pyrolysis vapors. Various catalysts have been prepared and used for catalytic cracking, and they exhibited different catalytic capabilities. This paper will review the recent progress of the catalytic cracking of liquid bio-oil or pyrolysis vapors.

Spent earth is a waste resulting from the bleaching process which contains gums and a large amount of oil so that it still has the potential to be reprocessed into biofuel. This study aims to utilize the oil from spent earth as a raw material in the synthesis of biofuels through the catalytic cracking process. In the catalytic cracking process, zeolite and kaolin catalysts are used in the ratio (0:100); (30:70); (50:50); (70:30) and (100:0) and temperature variations of 150oC, 175oC and 200oC for 3 hours. Based on the research results, the best biofuel was obtained at a catalyst ratio of zeolite: kaolin (70:30) and a temperature of 200oC with a yield of 76.13%. The results of the biofuel characterization obtained a water content of 0.0301%, octane number 90.5 RON and a density 751 kg/m3. Analysis of biofuel composition was measured using GC-MS and it was found that the biofuel contained 4.60% C11H24, 8.99% C12H26, 22.49% C16H34, 9.54% C18H34O2 and 54.38% C19H36O3. Based on the physical and chemical properties of the biofuel as a result of cracking with zeolite and kaolin catalysts, it is in accordance with SNI for gasoline qualification.
