Effect of HCl/γ-Al2O3 and HCl/Ni/γ-Al2O3 Catalyst on The Cracking of Palm Oil

Fuel oil has a deficit every year. Therefore, substitute fuel is needed, which can be obtained more efficiently. One of the alternative fuels that have been widely researched biofuel. Catalytic cracking method producing biofuels such as biogasoline (C5-C9), bioavtur (C10-C15) and green diesel (C16-C22). This research aims to produce by catalytic palm using HCl/γ-Al2O3 HCl/Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalysts (1, 3, 5 7%). The catalyst was prepared wet impregnation characterized x-ray diffraction, Brunauer Emmett teller ASTM-D664. reaction process operated at constant temperature 370 °C, 50 ml volume, 1 atm pressure. best for (5%) with yield 81%, selectivity 6.41%, 33.81%, 20.33%.
