Concentration of biopetrol synthesized from palmitic acid through catalytic craking using granular metal as catalyst

Biopetrol is defined as fuel which has the same characteristics with commercial petrol in terms of its molecular formula. The objectives of this research are to analyze isooctane obtained from palmitic acid and to improve the concentration of biopetrol obtained from palmitic acid using catalytic cra...

The objectives of this research are to analyze isooctane obtained from palmitic acid and to improve the concentration of biopetrol obtained from palmitic acid using catalytic cracking. This process is used to produce isooctane from palmitic acid. Heat is supplied using hot plate at palmitic acid’s melting point within a range of 63oC – 64oC, to melt the solid palmitic acid.

The isooctane obtained is around 0.065206%- 0.066561% in palmitic acid with granular copper. After back calculation, the highest concentration of the desired isooctane is 8.379% at 5g copper catalyst with 1% sample + 99% solvent. This research also shows an improvement in concentration of biopetrol (isooctane) compare to the previous research by using thermal cracking. -Author- 2009-04 Undergraduates Project Papers NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/719/1/REDZA_SHAH_AZMEER_BIN_HASANUDIN.pdf Redza Shah, Azmeer Hasanudin (2009) Concentration of biopetrol synthesized from palmitic acid through catalytic craking using granular metal as catalyst.
