Perengkahan Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) Menjadi Biofuel Menggunakan Katalis H-Zeolit dengan Variasi Temperatur Reaksi dan Konsentrasi H-Zeolit

Abstract

Cracking reaction Palm Fatty Acid distillate (PFAD) with fixed variable catalyst/PFAD 1/75 and a cracking time for 2 hours, while the temperature variables were changed at 340, 360, 3800C and H-zeolite catalyst by preparation with acid 1 N, 2 N, 3 N . Catalyst characterization using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and the product obtained was analyzed using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectra (GCMS). The highest reaction conversion result 52% was obtained at a temperature of 280oC and H-Zeolite catalysts 3 N. Products containing alkane fraction 47,41%, consisting of gasoline fraction 2,1%, kerosene 2,17% and diesel 41,14%.
