Bio-gasoline from Catalytic Hydrocracking Reaction of Waste Cooking Oil Using Bayah Natural Zeolite

摘要

Production of bio-gasoline through catalytic hydrocracking of waste cooking oil was carried out in a 1.0 L autoclave. The reaction conditions were varied at temperatures of 380 – 420℃, initial hydrogen pressure of 8 Mpa, for 60 and 90 min. of reaction time. Bayah natural zeolite was applied as catalyst for converting waste cooking oil to biogasoline. The highest yield of bio-gasoline was obtained at temperature of 400℃ with different amount of catalyst. The influence of reaction conditions to the yield and characteristic of product were discussed in this study.
