摘要
Natural minerals such as zeolite are local natural resources in the various regions in Indonesia which has application as a filler, bleaching agent, or dehydration agent. It also has function as green catalysts material for biomass conversion into bio-fuel. The trend movement of green and sustainable chemistry research that designing environmentally friendly chemical processes from renewable raw materials to produce innovative products derived biomass for bio-fuel. Callophyllum innophyllum L.seeds can be used as raw material for bio-energy because of its high oil content. The fatty acid and triglyceride compounds of these seeds can be cracked into bio-gasoline, which does not contain oxygen in the hydrocarbon structure. This paper focused on the preparation and formulation of the catalyst NiMo/Al2O3 and NiMo/H-Zeolite which was used in hydro-cracking process of oil from Callophyllum innophyllum L. seeds to produce bio-gasoline. The catalysts were characterized using XRD, BET and FTIR-adsorbed pyridine method. The results of hydro-cracking products mostly were paraffin (C10-C19) straight chain, with 59.5% peak area based on GC-MS analysist.
