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

A catalyst was synthesized from Bayah’s natural zeolite with low crystallinity and uneven pore distribution. To overcome these limitations, the Bayah natural zeolite was subjected to activation and modification processes aimed at increasing its surface area, improving pore structure, and enhancing overall catalytic activity by impregnating with nickel metal which is active catalyst for cracking reaction. Therefore, this study compares the Ni-impregnated Bayah Natural Zeolite (Ni/ZAA) and non-impregnated Bayah Natural Zeolite (Ni/ZAA) with respect to performance of the hydrocracking of palm oil to biofuels (gasoline, kerosene, and diesel). The natural zeolite was pretreated via desilication using NaOH, followed by calcination. Ni was introduced into the zeolite through ultrasonic-assisted impregnation, and the resulting catalysts were characterized using XRD and XRF techniques. Hydrocracking was conducted at 500 °C with a WHSV of 0.1 min⁻¹ using both Ni/ZAA and non-impregnated ZAA catalysts. The liquid products were analyzed by GC-MS to determine selectivity and yield, including coke and gas formation. The desilication process enhanced slightly the Si/Al ratio and catalytic properties of the Bayah zeolite. While Ni impregnation was achieved, suboptimal processing conditions affected the quality of the resulting catalysts. Increasing Ni content improved crystallinity and catalytic activity but also promoted coke formation, which reduced reaction efficiency and liquid product yield. The highest biofuel yield was obtained using the non-impregnated ZAA catalyst, while the 10% Ni/ZAA catalyst showed reduced yield due to excessive coking and pore blockage. These findings suggest that while Ni enhances catalytic activity, excessive loading can lead to overactivity and reduced performance in biofuel production.
