【 摘 要 】

Preparation and characterization of a catalyst based on bimetallic Ni-Cu over a zirconia pillared bentonite support were studied. Its catalytic activity had been tested for hydrocracking of palm oil as a model reaction. The cracking process of palm oil was carried out in the continuous micro reactor system with catalyst feed ratio 1:100 (w/w) for the reaction at 350°C for 30 min. The product of catalytic hydrocracking was evaluated by GC-MS. We found that a small loading addition of Cu to Ni catalyst increased the catalytic activity compared to the monometallic one. The characterization results using EDX map revealed that addition of copper metal with Ni:Cu mole ratio of 3:1, causes the amount of nickel metal seen is increasingly more evenly dispersed.
