Inexpensive Ni-based catalysts can afford comparable performance to costly precious metal formulations in the conversion of fat, oil, or greases (FOG) to fuel-like hydrocarbons via decarboxylation/decarbonylation (deCOx). While the addition of certain metals has been observed to promote Ni-based deCOx catalysts, the steady-state performance of bimetallic formulations must be ascertained using industrially relevant feeds and reaction conditions in order to make meaningful comparisons. In the present work, used cooking oil (UCO) was upgraded to renewable diesel via deCOx over Ni/Al2O3 promoted with Cu, Fe, or Pt in a fixed-bed reactor at 375 °C using a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 1 h−1. Although all catalysts fully deoxygenated the feed to hydrocarbons throughout the entire 76 h duration of these experiments, the cracking activity (and the evolution thereof) was distinct for each formulation. Indeed, that of the Ni-Cu catalyst was low and relatively stable, that of the Ni-Fe formulation was initially high but progressively dropped to become negligible, and that of the Ni-Pt catalyst started as moderate, varied considerably, and finished high. Analysis of the spent catalysts suggests that the evolution of the cracking activity can be mainly ascribed to changes in the composition of the metal particles.

Ni2P/TiO2-Al2O3catalysts were prepared by impregnation of nickel phosphate precursors followed by reduction in hydrogen. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2-adsorption specific surface area measurements (BET), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermogravimetry differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA). The effects of reduction temperature on catalyst structure and HDS activity were studied using a lab-scale continuous flow fixed-bed reactor.. The results indicated that the catalyst prepared with reduction temperature of 973 K exhibited the best performance. At a reaction temperature of 606 K, a pressure of 3.0 MPa, a hydrogen/oil ratio of 500 (V/V), and a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 2.0 h-1, the conversion of DBT HDS was 96.0%.

The kinetics of carbon monoxide methanation over Ni-Mo-SiO2 catalyst were studied. The model was developed based on catalyst tests carried out in a fixed-bed reactor at a reaction temperature varied from 300 °C to 450 °C under a pressure from 0.1 to 1.5 MPa with a weight hourly space velocity of 60,000 mL h−1 g−1. An orthogonal design method was adopted to select test points with temperature, pressure, and feed compositions as factors. Based on the experimental observations, a Langmuir–Hinshelwood equation kinetic model was formulated and its parameters were estimated by fitting the experimental data implemented in MATLAB. The activation energy for the formation of CH4 was 45.4 kJ mol−1 and comparing the experimental and model-predicted data showed that the proposed model gives a reasonable fit with an average absolute relative deviation of ±9.8%.

Peretakan bermangkin minyak kelapa sawit kepada gasolin menggunakan H–ZSM–5 dan H–Beta dijalankan pada tekanan atmosfera dan kadar alir mengikut berat 2.5 jam–1. Suhu tindak balas ditetapkan dalam julat 450°C to 525°C. Mangkin yang dikalsinkan telah dicirikan menggunakan teknik pembelauan sinar X, penjerapan piridina–spektrofotometri inframerah dan penjerapan nitrogen. Hasil cecair dan gas dianalisis menggunakan kromatografi gas (FID) dan (TCD). Peningkatan suhu tidak balas meninggikan penukaran minyak kelapa sawit. Penukaran minyak kelapa sawit dan kepemilihan gasolin tertinggi diperolehi dengan mangkin H–ZSM–5, masing–masing ialah 96.12% berat dan 29.92% berat. Walaupun penukaran minyak kelapa sawit dan kepemilihan gasolin untuk kedua–dua mangkin adalah tinggi, tetapi H–ZSM–5 menunjukkan hasil yang lebih baik berbanding H–Beta pada semua suhu. Gasolin yang dihasilkan menggunakan H–ZSM–5 mempunyai kandungan naftena yang tinggi, diikuti oleh isoparafin, olefin, aromatik dan sedikit paraffin, manakala gasolin yang terhadil menggunakan H–Beta mengandungi olefin, naftena, paraffin dan aromatik. Hasil sampingan utama adalah gas yang terdiri daripada komponen C1–C3 menggunakan H–ZSM–5 dan C3–C4 menggunakan H–Beta Kata kunci: Zeolit; H–ZSM–5; H–Beta; peretakan; minyak kelapa sawit; gasolin The catalytic cracking of palm oil to gasoline over H–ZSM–5 and H–Beta was studied in fixed bed reactor operated at atmospheric pressure and weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 2.5 h–1. The reaction temperature was varied between 450°C to 525°C. The calcined catalysts were characterized using X–Ray Diffraction (XRD), Pyridine Adsorption–Infrared Spectrophotometry (Py–IR) and Nitrogen Adsorption (NA) methods. The liquid and gaseous products were analyzed using (FID) and (TCD) gas chromatography respectively. Increase in reaction temperature led to higher palm oil conversion. The highest conversion and gasoline selectivity obtained at 525°C were 96.12 wt% and 29.92 wt% respectively with H–ZSM–5. Although the conversion and the gasoline selectivity of both catalysts was high, but H–ZSM–5 performed better than H–Beta at all temperature range. Gasoline produced using H–ZSM–5 consisted mainly of naphthenes beside isoparaffins, olefins, aromatics and a small amount of paraffins, while the gasoline obtained by using H–Beta contained olefins, naphthenes, paraffins and aromatics. Gas was the major side product, which consisted mainly of C1–C3 for using H–ZSM–5 and C3–C4 compounds for using H–Beta. Key words: Zeolite; H–ZSM–5; H–Beta; cracking, palm oil; gasoline

Abstract The utilisation of ethanol-waste cooking oil (Eth- WCO) mixtures for the production of valuable chemicals has been considered. The study investigated the potential of synthesised HZSM-5 in the conversion of ethanol-oil mixtures to fuel-range hydrocarbons. HZSM-5 catalyst material was successfully synthesised and characterised and activities were tested in a fixed-bed reactor unit at temperatures of 400°C and 450 °C with a fixed weight hourly space velocity of 2.5 h-1 at atmospheric pressure. The synthesised catalyst had total surface area greater than 250 m2/g. From the catalyst activity test, it was observed that up to 93% conversion was achieved on the synthesised catalysts. The conversion product was rich in aromatic compounds such as p-xylene, toluene and naphthalene that have potential as feedstock in the chemical and petrochemical industries. The FeZSM-5 catalyst material had a generally higher percentage composition of p-xylene content, peaking at 30% at 400°C for pure waste cooking oil feedstock. Potential catalysts for bio-aromatics production from ethanol-waste cooking oil mixtures have been successfully synthesised and evaluated.

Styrene is an important monomer in the manufacture of thermoplastic. Most of it is produced by the catalytic dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene. In this process that depends on reversible reactions, the yield is usually limited by the establishment of thermodynamic equilibrium in the reactor. The styrene yield can be increased by using a hybrid process, with reaction and separation simultaneously. It is proposed using permselective composite membrane to remove hydrogen and thus suppress the reverse and secondary reactions. This paper describes the simulation of a dehydrogenation process carried out in a tubular fixed-bed reactor wrapped in a permselective composite membrane. A mathematical model was developed, incorporating the various mass transport mechanisms found in each of the membrane layers and in the catalytic fixed bed. The effects of the reactor feed conditions (temperature, steam-to-oil ratio, and the weight hourly space velocity), the fixed-bed geometry (length, diameter, and volume), and the membrane geometry (thickness of the layers) on the styrene yield were analyzed. These variables were used to determine experimental conditions that favour the production of styrene. The simulation showed that an increase of 40.98% in the styrene yield, compared to a conventional fixed-bed process, could be obtained by wrapping the reactor in a permselective composite membrane.

Manganese and cerium based catalysts with different Mn/Ce molar ratios prepared by impregnation method for ethyl acetate oxidation. The activity tests of the samples were performed in a fixed-bed reactor. The effect of gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) and ethyl acetate concentration on the catalytic activity of the catalyst were also investigated. The results showed that these catalysts had high activity for the catalytic oxidation of ethyl acetate, of which the catalyst Mn0.9Ce0.1Ox/TiO2exhibitedthe bestactivity, and the temperature required for 90% conversion of ethyl acetate was at 216 °C. The catalyst Mn0.9Ce0.1Ox/TiO2still maintained high activity in the range of GHSV (16,500 to 48,500 h-1) and ethyl acetate concentration (4526 to 7092 mg/m3). In additional, experiments for measuring stability of Mn0.9Ce0.1Ox/TiO2were carried out, and experimental results showed that the good stability of Mn0.9Ce0.1Ox/TiO2was kept after it has run for 25 hours.

Fatty alcohol (FAOH) can be produced by hydrogenating of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) using the copper-based catalyst. Copper-Chrom (Cu-Cr) is the best catalyst for high-pressure reaction condition, which is copper (Cu) as the main active component and chrom (Cr) as a promoter. Since Cr is feared to be toxic, one of the best replacement candidates is manganese (Mn). The research aims is to find the kinetic equation of hydrogenation FAME to FAOH using a Cu-Mn commercial catalyst.  FAME with methyl laurate and methyl myristate as the main compounds is used as feedstock. The main products are lauryl alcohol and myristyl alcohol. The reaction was carried out in an isothermal continuous fixed bed reactor under conditions of temperature 220 – 240 oC, pressure 50 bar, and liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) 5-12.5 hr-1.  The kinetic equation is determined using the power law model. The FAME hydrogenation on copper - manganese catalyst is the half order reaction. The activation energy value is 86.32 kJ/mol and the Arrhenius constant value is 5.87x106  M0.5/s.

The conventional process for isobornyl acetate synthesis from camphene and acetic acid is a batch process. The purpose of this paper is to synthesize isobornyl acetate in continuous process in a fixed bed reactor. The continuous reaction conditions were studied. The experiment was put into practice under the following conditions: 35-45, camphene/acetic acid feed ratio(wt%) from 1 to 2 and space velocity from 0.6 to 1.8 h-1. A kinetic model was developed which describes the experimental data well. A pilot fixed reactor was simulated by using the kinetic model.
