%T SYNTHESIS OF ZEOLITE-A FROM PUMICE SILICA AND
ALUMUNIUM FOIL AS A CATALYST FOR PYROLYSIS
OF PALM OIL MILL EFFLUENT (POME)
%X In this research, palm oil mill effluent (POME) was converted into liquid fuel by
pyrolysis method using zeolite-A as a catalyst with various calcination
temperature, to study the effect of it towards the characteristic of liquid fuel.
Zeolite-A was synthesized from pumice silica and food grade aluminium foil with
hydrothermal method at 100? for 72 hours, then calcined at 600, 700, and 800?
for 6 hours. Synthesized zeolite-A was then characterized using XRD and SEM
to ensure the formation of zeolite-A. Liquid fuel produced from the catalytic
upgrading process using zeolite-A was analyzed using GC-MS to identify the
components contained in the sample. The GC-MS results show the most optimum
catalyst used for catalytic upgrading in terms of hydrocarbon was zeolite-A 700?C
with relative percentage of 84.48%, and the least optimum was zeolite-A 800?C
with relative percentage of 81.37%. In terms of hydrocarbon chain in range of bio
gasoline, zeolite-A 600?C has the highest relative percentage of 47%, and the least
optimum was zeolite-A 700?C with relative percentage of 36%.
