Description
Summary:Teak wood char has been tested in the catalytic cracking process of Jatropha oil. The activity of teak wood char is increased by adding acid sites to the catalyst. The chemical salt of ammonium chloride serves as an acid-adding agent on the surface of the catalyst. The wood char is contacted with ammonium chloride solution with various concentrations of 1 M, 2M and 3 M and then separated by filtration. Before use in the cracking process, the wood char is activated by heating at high temperatures. The testing process was carried out at a temperature of 400oC with a hydrogen gas flow rate of 100 NL/min and an oil feed injection rate of 2 ml every 10 minutes. The experimental results show that the addition of acid sites on the surface of the teak wood char catalyst can increase the yield of oil liquid products and selectivity towards gasoline and diesel. The highest mass fraction of gasoline is 19.24% and diesel is 33.77%.
