Abstract

Vacuum residue is a waste of the production process in the petroleum refining industry. Even though vacuum residue is waste, it still contains hydrocarbon compounds that can be reused as a petroleum derivatives products that have commercial value. Improving the quality of vacuum residue from waste to commercial products is carried out in several stage of the process. In this research, we applied the swelling process as an initial step to weaken and break the long chain carbon of vacuum residue in order to reduce energy consumption. Furthermore, the swelling products will be reprocessed in the catalytic cracking processes to improve the quality and quantity of the product yield. The application of the swelling process can reduce operating conditions temperatures up to 350ºC, and the use of Al2O3 catalyst in the cracking process can produces the product yield that have a good quality after performing the GC-MS analysis test. The content of hydrocarbons in this vacuum residue shows the dominance of aromatic compounds with high octane numbers. The optimum composition of 5%-wt catalyst showed chromatogram composition of 166 compounds with the highest peak at 3.26 retention time owned by toluene with an octane number of 91.

Abstract

Calcium Oxide (CaO) loaded on zeolite was categorized as a heterogeneous catalyst. The utilization of CaO catalyst could be implemented in catalytic pyrolysis enhance gaseous production. In this paper, CaSO4.2H2O is an active site embedded in natural zeolite, and the activity of the CaO-Zeolite catalyst is synthesized by a sonochemical impregnation-assisted drying process and calcination. The stirrer impregnation method was used as a control. CaO-Zeolite catalyst characterization and properties were identified via Scanning Electron Microscopy- Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX).The activation experiments were performed at an oven temperature of 120oC for 5 h and a calcination temperature of 300oC for 2 h. The synthesized catalysts of sonochemical were performed at 20 minutes, 20 kHz, and 1200 Watt, and the synthesized catalyst of stirrer were performed at 120 minutes, 1500 rpm, and 1000 watts. The experimental results revealed that the characterization of the catalysts prepared by the sonochemical method was better than that of the stirrer. Specifically, obtained CaO-Zeolite catalyst with Ca wt % increased from 0.86 wt% NZ (natural zeolite)  to (11.3 wt%, 14.15 wt% and 23.48 wt%) of sonochemical and (11.82wt%, 13.95 wt% and 20.64wt%) of stirrer. The results demonstrated that Ca wt%  by sonochemical in 20 minutes dispersed at support surface (zeolite)  more effective than stirrer in 120 minutes. These results were impacted by acoustic cavitation and shockwave of ultrasonic on solid-liquid transport and distribution. On the other side, sonochemical assisted the activation technique to minimize particle size and allowed metal oxide (CaSO4.2H2O) to be dispersed uniformly into the pores structure of the zeolite. The utilization of sonochemical in CaO-Zeolite synthesizing enhanced catalyst activity. Keywords: CaO/Zeolite catalyst, Calcination, Drying, Sonochemical Impregnation, Ca weight percentage, Characterization

Abstract

Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is a potential feedstock for biokerosene. However, it is problematic when used directly because it is gummy, has a high viscosity and is degradable. Various conversion processes have been conducted that directly convert CPO into biokerosene, but it requires high temperature and pressure. Therefore, as a novelty, this study aims to develop the technology for converting triglycerides into biokerosene under relatively low operating conditions and producing similar petroleum kerosene by electrolysis-assisted and electromagnetic induction. In this study, the conversion technology process was conducted in three steps (i) converting triglycerides to Free Fatty Acids (FFA), (ii) converting FFA to alkanes, and (iii) converting alkanes to biokerosene. Step (ii) is assisted by the electrolysis process, meanwhile, step (iii) is assisted by electromagnetic irradiation. The finding showed that electrolysis obtained 73.47% yield of alkanes and electromagnetic irradiation obtained 78.02% yield of biokerosene.  Biokerosene is almost close to kerosene-based petroleum in terms of colour Saybolt, flash point and Net Heating Value. The findings of this study may provide an alternate technology approach for biokerosene synthesis and solution kerosene scarcity.
