ABSTRACT
This present study enlightens the eco-friendly green synthesis of ZSM-5 from natural clay montmorillonite, and its proper incorporation with 'Ni'. Nickle (Ni) was wet impregnated onto HZSM-5 and the resulting catalyst was characterized by various techniques including XRD, BET, N2 Sorption Studies, TPD, SEM and TEM techniques. The SEM images revealed the uniform distribution of Ni over HZSM-5 zeolite catalyst and the XRD results indicated the undistorted crystalline structure of HZSM-5 even after impregnation of Ni. The latter part of the work concentrates on the strength of the catalyst in cracking oil derived from discarded fish parts. Discarded fish waste was pyrolyzed to obtain the fish oil, which was then used for cracking studies. The fish oil was efficiently converted (99% conversion) by Ni/ZSM5 (50 wt %) and yielded 70% liquid fractions, which formed gasoline (78.6%), kerosene (12.3%) and diesel (9.1%). The research is a complete parcel to examine the working potential of the produced biofuel in pre-existing engines. The quality of gasoline fraction was tested according to ASTM standards, which showed that the heating value was slightly lower compared to fossil gasoline. The torque and brake fuel consumption were also examined and it indicated that the fish oil derived gasoline fuel may need to be mixed with the commercial gasoline to optimize its performance.
