Copper doped Ni/zirconia-pillared bentonite prepared using pillarization-impregnation
method and its application as heterogeneous catalyst for hydrocracking of cooking oil to biogasoline
has been investigated. Several zirconia-pillared bentonite supported Ni-Cu catalyst (Ni-Cu [x:y])/
zirconia-pillared bentonites; where x and y represent the mass ratio of Ni and Cu, respectively) were
prepared by the impregnation method and used for hydrocracking of cooking oil to biogasoline. The
Ni-Cu/zirconia-pillared bentonite samples were characterized by TEM, SEM, TGA,while the surface
area by N2
adsorption, GC-MS was used to evaluate the product. The catalytic activity was assessed
in view of the effects of different mass ratios of Ni and Cu, temperature. Among all the samples, the
Ni-Cu(3:1)/zirconia-pillared bentonite catalyst showed the highest catalytic ability.
