Abstract

The research aims to study the effects of Mo metal embedded on H-Mordenite on its activity and selectivity of hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) for Refined Palm Kernel Oil (RPKO) into bioavtur. The RPKO was obtained from the results of degumming and bleaching process of palm kernel oil and then analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS). The impregnation of Mo metal was carried out by spraying using an ammonium heptamolybdate precursor solution ((NH4)6Mo7O24•4H2O) with an initial Mo metal content of 5, 10, and 15wt% of H-Mordenite to produce 5-Mo/Mor, 10-Mo/Mor, and 15-Mo/Mor. The 15-Mo/Mor catalyst produced the highest amount of liquid product (46.08wt%) with bioavtur yield of 43.19wt%. The usability test showed that 15-Mo/Mor catalyst still produced a good performance after three times of use in the RPKO feed HDO with the second and third run test liquid product of 34.82 and 46.14wt% respectively with bioavtur yield of 32.58 and 43.45wt%, respectively.

Abstract

With the increasing demand for fuel for global usage and CO2 emissions, greener alternatives are needed, especially in biojet fuel production. Catalyst preparation involves the impregnation of Ni and Mo metals into H-ZSM-5 using a dry impregnation method with spray deposition, resulting in Ni/ZSM-5 and Mo/ZSM-5 catalysts. Catalyst characterization utilizes FT-IR, XRD, SAA, SEM-EDX, XRF, and NH3-TPD instruments. The activity and selectivity tests of the catalysts were conducted in the hydrotreating of palm oil using Ni/ZSM-5 monolayer, Ni/ZSM-5 bilayer, Mo/ZSM-5 monolayer, Mo/ZSM-5 bilayer, as well as Ni/ZSM-5 bottom-layer and Mo/ZSM-5 top-layer arrangements. The result showed double-layer Ni/ZSM-5 as the best catalyst in activity and selectivity in producing biojet fuel fractions with consecutive conversion, selectivity, and yield of 29.71%, 84.76%, and 24.34%, respectively. The layers of catalyst affected the catalytic activity and selectivity, resulting in a higher yield.

Abstract

The production of vegetable-based fuels has intensified in recent years due to the decreasing availability of fossil fuels and their environmental impacts. This study explores the synthesis, characterization, and application of nickel-molybdenum (NiMo) bimetal-dispersed silica catalysts for converting used palm cooking oil into liquid biofuels. The catalysts were synthesized using the wet impregnation method, incorporating Ni and Mo metals at concentrations of 1, 2, and 3% by weight of silica derived from rice husk ash. Impregnation of the silica with Ni and Mo metals increased its acidity, with the NiMo/SiO? 2 catalyst exhibiting the highest acidity value of 4.34 mmol/g. This catalyst also demonstrated the largest specific surface area and total pore volume, measured at 205.51 m²/g and 0.88 cm³/g, respectively. Hydrocracking of used palm cooking oil into liquid biofuels was performed at an optimum temperature of 450 °C with catalyst-to-feed weight ratios of 1:100, 2:100, and 3:100 for 1 h by hydrogen gas supply of 20 mL/min. Catalyst activity tests revealed the highest mass percentage of liquid product, 23.3%, at a ratio of 1:100 (w/w), with a biofuel yield of 20.34%, comprising 14.20% gasoline and 6.14% diesel. By utilizing biomass waste as both a catalyst and feedstock, this study presents a sustainable approach to reducing the carbon footprint and promoting environmental balance.

Abstract

Given the challenges posed by fossil-based jet fuel, research into bio-jet fuel production has intensified to achieve carbon neutrality. The present work reports a significant breakthrough with the successful conversion of used coconut cooking oil into bio-jet fuel utilizing a cobalt-impregnated mordenite catalyst. Cobalt was introduced to mordenite via the spray impregnation method at a concentration of 2% using a CoCl?·6H?O solution. The resultant catalyst was characterized using FTIR, XRD, NH?-TPD, SAA, FESEM-EDX Mapping, TEM, XPS, and TG/DTA instruments. Hydrotreatment was conducted in a semi-batch reactor at atmospheric pressure, employing H? gas at a flow rate of 20 mL/min and a catalyst-to-feed ratio of 1:200 (w/w) for a duration of 2 h. The addition of cobalt significantly enhanced the efficiency of the hydrotreatment by improving the catalytic performance of mordenite as a support material. The liquid product conversion and total bio-jet fuel yield obtained from the hydrotreatment of used coconut cooking oil using the Co/mordenite catalyst were 60.25% and 51.11%, respectively. The highest selectivity for bio-jet fuel was observed in fraction II (450–550 °C) at 88.90%. This catalyst exhibited sustained performance over three consecutive runs, indicating its potential application in the future biofuel industry. Altogether, this research reveals the possibility of employing used coconut cooking oil as a sustainable and promising feedstock to be converted into bio-jet fuel by hydrodeoxygenation and/or hydrocracking reactions.
