The selectivity of an active natural zeolite (ZAAH) in catalytic conversion process of Bangkirai, Kruing and Kamper woods biofuels has been studied. The ZAAH catalyst was prepared from a natural zeolite (ZA) treated with acids solution (1% HF and 6M HCI) and hydrothermal then calcined at 5009C and oxidized at 4009C under nitrogen and oxygen gas stream, respectively. Charactedzations of the catalysts including Si/AI ratio and acidity were determined by atomic adsorption spectroscopy (AAS) and ammonia gas adsorption method, respectively. The conversion process was carried out in a flow reactor system at 4009C, under N2 stream (20 mL/min). The biofuel was vaporized from the pyrolysis zone to the catalytic reactor. A liquid product was covered and analysed by gas chromatograph (GC) and that connected with mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). The characterization results showed that the Si/AI ratio and acidity of the ZAAH were higher than that of the ZA catalyst. The GC-MS data showed that the highest product selectivity was 2,4-dimethyl heptane and 1,2-dimethyl benzene. The total product selectivity using the ZAAH catalyst (bangkirai = 68.10%kruing = 54.76%kamper = 50.72%) was higher than that of the ZA catalyst (bangkirai = 39.24%kruing = 44.38%kamper = 46.11%).

EFFECT OF CERIUM ON HYDRODESULFURIZA TION CATALYST PERFORMANCE

ABSTRACT Effect of cerium on hydrodesulfurization catalysts performance have been investigated. The catalysts were pt or Pt-Ce supported on zeo!itfJ. The Pt/Zeolite catalyst was prepared by wet impregnation method, while that of Pt- Ce/Zeolite catalyst was prepared using coimpregnation method both were followed by drying, calcination, oxidation and reduction. The catalysts activity test was performed in a micro reactor and products composition was determined using gas chromatography. The results showed that cerium enhanced catalyst performance especially catalyst lifetime. Therefore, the catalysts have higher tendency to remain active for longer period. Due to its function, cerium might be used as a promoter of hydrodesulfurization catalysts. Keywords: Cerium, hydrodesulfurization,promoter, life tim

Pengaruh Perlakuan Temperatur pada Sintesis Bentonit Terpilar Al2O3 terhadap Karakternya dan Aplikasinya Sebagai Katalis dalam Reaksi Esterifikasi

The synthesis and characterization of Al2O3 pillared bentonite have been done and its application as catalyst for esterification reaction were studied. The effect of temperature treatment on the synthesis of Al2O3 pillared bentonite towards its characters were studied by calcinations methods with temperature variation 300, 400, and 500&nbsp;oC for 4 h. The increasing of temperature on the synthesis of Al2O3 pillared bentonite was caused decreased of basal spacing, total pore volume and specific surface area bentonite. Characterizations were performed by using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), N2 gas sorption analysis methods and FTIR analysis. The esterification reactions were conducted using acetic acid and ethanol. The ester products then were analyzed by Gas Chromatography (GC). Catalytic activity test showed that the percentage of ethyl acetate produced by Al2O3-pillared natural bentonite and natural bentonite catalyzed reactions were 16,74 and 8,61 %, respectively, eventhough natural bentonite surface acidity was higher than Al2O3-pillared natural bentonite. It was demonstrated also that catalytic activity was not influenced merely by surface acidity but also influenced by specific surface area and total pore volume

ABSTRACT Preparation,.characterization, activation,deactivation,and regenerationtests of CoO-MoO/ZnOand CoOMoO/ ZnO-ActivatedZeolite (AZ) catalysts for the hydrogen production using .steamreforming of alcohols in fusel oil have been conducted. Both catalysts were prepared by impregnation of Co and Mo onto ZnO or ZnO-AZ powder then followed by calcination at 400°C for 5 h under N2 stream: The BET method and pyridine adsorption were used for catalysts characterization. The study of activation, deactivation, and regeneration of catalysts were conducted by using steam reforming method in the semi flow reactor. The reaction condition were: weight ratio of catalystslfeed = 0.1, temperature: 450°C, duration: 45 min. Thegas product was trapped in a 250 mL vacuumpyrex bottle filled with 50 mL of 4 M NaOH solution and analyzed by GC with TCD system to determine H2existance and HCI titration to determine C02 produced during the process that was dissolved in NaOH solution. The results showed that CoO-. MoO/ZnO-AZ catalyst produced higher gas conversion than CoO-MoO/ZnOcatalyst. However, it had short catalyst lifetime due to its high amount of coke deposited during the process. The regeneration test could enhance the catalyst activity. The gas product consisted of H2(14.70%)and C02 (24.41%). Keywords: fusel oil, steam reforming, deactivation, regeneration, hydrogen production
