Abstract

Plasma-assisted catalytic cracking is an attractive method for producing biofuels from vegetable oil. This paper studied the effect of reactor temperature on the performance of plasma-assisted catalytic cracking of palm oil into biofuels. The cracking process was conducted in a Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD)-type plasma reactor with the presence of spent RFCC catalyst. The reactor temperature was varied at 400, 450, and 500 ºC. The liquid fuel product was analyzed using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to determine the compositions. Result showed that the presenceof plasma and catalytic role can enhance the reactor performance so that the selectivity of the short-chain hydrocarbon produced increases. The selectivity of gasoline, kerosene, and diesel range fuels over the plasma-catalytic reactor were 16.43%, 52.74% and 21.25%, respectively, while the selectivity of gasoline, kerosene and diesel range fuels over a conventional fixed bed reactor was 12.07%, 39.07%, and 45.11%, respectively. The increasing reactor temperature led to enhanced catalytic role of cracking reaction,particularly directing the reaction to the shorter hydrocarbon range. The reactor temperature dependence on the liquid product components distribution over the plasma-catalytic reactor was also studied. The aromatic and oxygenated compounds increased with the reactor temperature.©2020. CBIORE-IJRED. All rights reserved

Abstract

The increase in energy demand led to the challenging of alternative fuel development. Biofuels from palm oil through catalytic cracking appear as a promising alternative fuel. In this study, biofuel was produced from palm oil through catalytic cracking using the modified HY zeolite catalysts. The Ni and Co metals were impregnated on the HY catalyst through the wet-impregnation method. The catalysts were characterized using X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Pyridine-probed Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) methods. The biofuels product obtained was analyzed using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method to determine its composition. The metal impregnation on the HY catalyst could modify the acid site composition (Lewis and Brønsted acid sites), which had significant roles in the palm oil cracking to biofuels. Ni impregnation on HY zeolite led to the high cracking activity, while the Co impregnation led to the high deoxygenation activity. Interestingly, the co-impregnation of Ni and Co on HY catalyst could increase the catalyst activity in cracking and deoxygenation reactions. The yield of biofuels could be increased from 37.32% to 40.00% by using the modified HY catalyst. Furthermore, the selectivity of gasoline could be achieved up to 11.79%. The Ni and Co metals impregnation on HY zeolite has a promising result on both the cracking and deoxygenation process of palm oil to biofuels due to the role of each metal. This finding is valuable for further catalyst development, especially on bifunctional catalyst development for palm oil conversion to biofuels.

Abstract

This work discusses the treated spent Residue Fluid Catalytic Cracking (RFCC) catalysts using sulfuric or citric acids to examine the impact of acid treatment on the catalyst physicochemical properties and structural characteristics. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and Brunauer−Emmett−Teller-Barrett−Joyner−Halenda (BET-BJH) methods. The catalytsts were performed in a continuous fixed-bed reactor for catalytic cracking of palm oil. Changes of the catalyst characteristics and catalytic performance testing of the catalyst after the acid treatment for palm oil cracking process were discussed. It was found that the acid treatment on the spent RFCC catalyst can increase the surface area and pore volume of catalysts as well as the crystallinity. The closed pores in the spent RFCC are opened by acid treatment by eliminating heavy metals. Concerning to the catalytic performance, the acid-treated catalysts had better performance than the non-treated catalyst, which could increase selectivity of the kerosene-diesel range fraction from 47.89% to 55.41%. It was interested, since the non-treated catalyst could not produce gasoline fraction, while the acid-treated catalsysts could produce gasoline fraction at selectivity range of 0.57 – 0.84%. It was suggested that both sulfuric or citric acids treatment could increase the cracking performance of spent RFCC catalyst by shifting the product to lower hydrocarbons.

Abstract

This paper presents the effect of microwave and ultrasound irradiation on the enzymatic hydrolysis of water hyacinth biomass in the presence of surfactants. Prior to hydrolyzing, the water hyacinth was treated utilizing alkali with and without microwave assistance. It was revealed that the microwave improved the removal of lignin and hemicellulose. The treated water hyacinth biomass was also characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy. The effect of surfactant and the assistance of microwave and ultrasound were comprehensively studied. Some parameters varied, including stirring speed, surfactant type, concentration, and reaction time. The results indicated that microwave and ultrasound could enhance the reaction rate. Tween 80 here could improve conventional, microwave-assisted, and ultrasound-assisted hydrolysis of water hyacinth biomass. It was found that the ultrasound-assisted hydrolysis was better than that of others. The results of this research can be used as the groundwork for further developing the lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysis process, especially in an advanced enzymatic hydrolysis process.

Abstract

Biofuel derived from vegetable oil can be utilized as a vehicle fuel with various advantages, such as renewability, environmental friendliness, and sustainable availability. One of the methods for converting vegetable oil into biofuel is hydrocracking. This study investigates Ni-Co/ZSM-5 catalyst with Ni-Co metal ratios of 1:0.5, 1:1, and 1:1.5 to examine their effects on the catalyst characteristics and performance in the hydrocracking process of palm oil into biofuel. The catalyst synthesis was carried out using the co-impregnation method with ultrasound assistance, followed by characterization using XRD and XRF. The hydrocracking process was conducted at a temperature of 450℃ and a WHSV of 0.1 min-1, while the gas product was analyzed using GC and liquid product was distilled. XRF results showed that the actual Ni-Co ratio did not significantly differ from the designed ratio. XRD analysis indicated crystal agglomeration at a 1:1.5 ratio due to competition between Ni and Co metal particles diffusing into the zeolite pores, as well as the presence of dislocations and crystal defects. Differences in catalyst characteristics resulted in variations in yield, selectivity, and gas distribution in the hydrocracking process. The catalyst with a Ni-Co ratio of 1:1.5 exhibited the highest liquid product yield and biogasoline selectivity but also produced a higher concentration of CO, CO2, and C2 gases. It is associated with the breakdown of triglycerides into fatty acids, which subsequently fragment into shorter-chain biofuel components.

Abstract

Energy saving in separation systems, particularly in distillation systems, is a research field that has attracted considerable innovative approaches. A distillation system is an essential separation process, yet it is inefficient in using thermal energy, and may operate with adverse environmental impact as it discharges a large amount of thermal energy into the environment. In this work, several Sequences Designs of Distillation Column Network are proposed to be compared with respect to Total Net Energy of each sequence design. Applying the Rule of Thumb of Distillation Strategy for separating multicomponent mixtures is important by performing the easiest separation first (largest relative volatility), that is, the one least demanding of trays and reflux, and leaving the most difficult to the last. From all sequence designs results, Sequence-A shows the lowest Total Net Energy (9,750,720.88 kJ/h), because the Sequence-A follows the strategy/procedure for separation of multicomponent using distillation column network. Decreasing the relative volatility affects on increasing number of tray and recycle ratio required for distillation process and decreasing the Net Energy.

Abstract

Fossil energy sources are currently decreasing, requiring the development of alternative energy sources. Vegetable oil is a raw material for alternative renewable energy supplies. This study produced biofuels from vegetable oil using calcium carbonate (CaCO3)-impregnated HY catalysts. In addition, this study aimed to investigate the effect of CaCO3 impregnation on the surface area and the catalytic activity of catalysts in the palm oil cracking process to produce biofuels. The HY catalyst was modified by the wet impregnation method in 5 wt% CaCO3 solution and was further calcined at 550°C for three h. Furthermore, the catalysts were tested in a continuous fixed-bed catalytic reactor at 450°C. The catalyst properties were characterized using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area, Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) for pore size distribution, and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) for crystal structure and phases. The results showed that the addition of CaCO3 decreased surface area and pore volume; however, the pore size increased, which resulted in the production of heavy hydrocarbons. Interestingly, the introduction of CaCO3 enhanced the yield of Organic Liquid Product (OLP) and diesel-range hydrocarbons selectivity to reach 79.09% and 30.54%, respectively. Furthermore, the introduction of CaCO3 increased deoxygenation activity.
