Abstract:
The catalytic cracking of three different vegetable oils, i.e. palm oil (Elaeisguineensis), Reutealistrisperma oil, and Calophylluminophyllum oil has been investigated over an equilibrium zeolite-based catalyst. The experiments were conducted under fluid catalytic cracking conditions in a Microactivity-Test (MAT) reactor at 516 C and atmospheric pressure, with a catalyst-to-oil ratio of 1. The results show that yields of total useful organic liquid product were comparable for all feed types. They were in the range of 57-63% wt, and the selectivity toward gasoline fraction was much higher for Reutealistrisperma and Calophylluminophyllum oil compared to palm oil. Detail analysis of gasoline fraction shows that olefin was a dominant component for all feeds, and it was much pronounced in palm oil.
