Abstract

LDPE plastics contributed 20-30% of the plastics use. Due to its non-biodegradable properties, plastic waste management is crucial. In the other hand, the LDPE plastics provide potential and benefits in the exploration of energy resources; they could be converted to liquid fuels through a catalytic hydrocracking. This study focuses on the effect of temperatures during the hydrocracking of LDPE using a Ni-Cu/HZSM-5 catalyst. The Ni-Cu/HZSM-5 catalyst was synthesized using the wet impregnation method assisted by an ultrasonic irradiation. The characteristics of the catalyst were evaluated prior to its use during the hydrocracking of LDPE. This study showed that the impregnation of Ni and Cu at HZSM-5 surface did not significantly affect the crystallinity of HZSM-5. Even though the peaks of Ni and Cu in the diffraction pattern were not clearly observed, their presence at HZSM-5 surface was well confirmed by the XRF spectrum. In addition, the hierarchical structure of HZSM-5 was also confirmed by the appearance of microporosity together with the type-IV hysteresis loop on the nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm. A considerable decrease (~25%) of the catalyst acidity was observed after the impregnation of Ni and Cu at HZSM-5 surface. The Ni-Cu/HZSM-5 catalyst showed a good activity during the hydrocracking of LDPE at temperatures of 275−400 °C, resulting in liquid, solid, and gaseous products. The yields of the liquid product increased by increasing the hydrocracking temperatures. It was observed that by increasing the hydrocracking temperatures, the yield of the kerosene and diesel fractions decreased, while the yield of the gasoline fraction increased, as supported by the density and calorific value that was close to the commercial gasoline. A further temperature increase would lead to more products with lighter fractions, reducing the yield of gasoline. This was also supported by the presence of alkenes, ketones, and esters formed after the catalytic hydrocracking as shown by the FTIR spectra of the liquid products.

Abstract

Catalytic cracking process of palm oil into bio-fuel using Ni/zeolite catalysts (2-10% wt. Ni) at various reaction temperatures (400-500oC) in a flow-fixed bed reactor system has been carried out. Palm oil was pre-treated to produce methyl ester of palm oil as feedstock in the catalytic cracking reactions. The Ni/zeolite catalysts were prepared by wetness impregnation method using Ni(NO3)2.6H2O as the precursor. The products were collected and analysed using GC, GC-MS, and calorimeter. The effects of process temperatures and Ni content in Ni/zeolite have been studied. The results showed that Ni-2/zeolite could give a yield of 99.0% at 500oC but only produced gasoline fraction of 18.35%. The physical properties of bio-fuel produced in this condition in terms of density, viscosity, flash point, and specific gravity were less than but similar to commercial fuel. The results of performance test in a 4-strike engine showed that the mixture of commercial gasoline (petrol) and bio-fuel with a ratio of 9:1 gave similar performance to fossil-based gasoline with much lower CO and O2 emissions and more efficient combustion
