Conversion of Multicyclic Hydrocarbons to Mono-Aromatic Hydrocarbons Over CoMo/Zeolite Socony Mobil-5 Catalysts

This study focuses on analyzing the effects of the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of a support on the physico-chemical properties of bead-type CoMo/HZSM-5 catalysts and on the catalytic performance during the hydrocracking reaction of PFO. CoMo/HZSM-5 catalysts were prepared by an incipient wetness method. Subsequently, binder-added catalysts were molded into the bead type catalysts. The N2 adsorption-dersorption results clearly indicate that the nanoporous structure was well developed in the bead-type CoMo/HZSM-5 catalyst. The CoMo/HZSM-5(30) catalyst not only possessed the highest number of acid sites but also showed the highest ratio of strong acid to weak acid sites. Moreover, the Lewis acid/Brönsted acid site ratio is highest with the CoMo/HZSM-5(30) catalysts. A hydrocracking reaction of PFO over the bead-type CoMo/HZSM-5 catalysts was conducted at 400 °C and under 40 atm in a fixed-bed reactor. The bead-type CoMo/HZSM-5(30) catalyst showed the highest BTXE yield with a sum of BTXE outcome of 43.0% in the catalytic cracking reaction of PFO, which is attributed to the synergistic combination of suitable acidity and hierarchical porosity.

This study aims to calculate the percentage methyl ester converted to biofuel through catalytic cracking reaction,analyzes component and determine characteristics using catalyst CrMo/HZ. This research begins with impregnation sample preparation which includes heating oil,degumming,bleaching and determination free fatty acid (FFA). Methyl ester obtained from liquid waste conversion crude palm oil through an esterification and transesterification reaction with H2SO4 and NaOH catalyst with sonochemistry methode is a method that utilizes ultrasonic waves origanating from a device is ultrasonic cleaner for one hour at temperature 60oC. The methyl ester obtained was cracked with a CrMo/HZ catalyst which was carried out for 2 hours at temperatur 380oC. To find out the components of compounds formed in methyl ester, an analysis was performed using GCMS then characteristics of biofuel are determined from the result of catalytic cracking obtained through acid number testing,density,viscosity,pour point and fog point. The result obtained from the conversion of methyl ester to biofuel with Crmo/HZ Catalyst Is 60,17% And For Testing The Physical Characteristics Of Biofuel Namely The Acid Number 1,87 Mg KOH/G, density 0,804 g/cm3, viscosity 1,162 Cst, pour point 0oC and fog point 1,4oC. The result of cracking produce a consituent component of biofuel namely gasoline 33,67%, kerosene 16,26%, gas oil 10,24% beside that, there are still methyl ester as much as21,89%.

Sythesis of bioavture through hydrodeoxygenation and catalytic cracking from oleic acid using NiMo/Zeolit catalyst

Currently, fossil fuels are still the primary source of fuel. As has been known, fossil fuel especially aviation fuel is limited resources and can increase greenhouse gas emissions. This condition encourages replacement efforts of avture into bioavture fuel. In this research, bioavture is synthesized through hydrodeoxygenation and catalytic cracking from oleic acid as a model compound using NiMo/Zeolite catalyst. Hydrodeoxygenation carried out under operating conditions: at temperature of 375°C, under 15 bar pressure and for 2.5 hours. The chain of hydrocarbons from the result of hydrodeoxygenation has been cracked by catalytic cracking reaction for 1.5 hours. Variation operating condition used are 360, 375, and 390°C. The liquid product is tested its chemical characteristic, ie acid number, FTIR and GC-MS and its physical characteristics, ie density test and viscosity. Bioavtur that synthesized by catalytic cracking have met the specifications of bioavtur, except the acid number with optimum temperature at 375oC. These conditions with NiMo/Zeolite activated led to dominant yield of 36.32%, selectivity of 38.05%, and conversion of 84.30%. Percentage of yield and selectivity of bioavtur are still low caused by performance of catalyst that is still can not optimum. While, high percentage of conversion caused by high temperature used for catalytic cracking.
