Abstrak
Lonjakan permintaan penggunaan
biobahan api jet (BAJ) dalam industri penerbangan merupakan salah satu
alternatif bagi mengurangkan pelepasan gas karbon dioksida (CO2) kepada alam sekitar. Malaysia yang kaya dengan sumber kelapa sawit
malahan minyak isirung sawit (PKO) yang mengandungi sebanyak 48% asid laurik
(C12) boleh digunakan sebagai stok suapan bagi penghasilan BAJ. Terdapat dua
kaedah yang dapat menukarkan asid laurik kepada BAJ, iaitu kaedah pendeoksigenan
bermangkin (DO) dan hidropendeoksigenan bermangkin (HDO). DO dapat menukarkan
asid laurik kepada BAJ melalui tindak balas tanpa hidrogen (H2) dengan
proses pendekarboksilan/pendekarbonilan (deCOx) bagi menyingkirkan oksigen dalam
menghasilkan rantaian hidrokarbon dan CO2 di samping penghasilan
produk sampingan iaitu karbon monoksida, CO dan air (H2O
Manakala HDO pula merupakan kaedah menukarkan
asid laurik kepada BAJ melalui tindak balas penyingkiran oksigen dalam bentuk H2O
dengan kehadiran H2. Dalam kajian ini, kedua-dua kaedah DO dan HDO telah
digunakan bagi penghasilan BAJ dengan menggunakan mangkin FeMo/AC. Mangkin yang
disintesis telah dicirikan dengan menggunakan beberapa kaedah pencirian seperti
XRD, FESEM-EDX, BET, TPD dan VSM. Kesan suhu tindak balas terhadap produk yang
terhasil telah dikaji bagi mendapatkan mekanisme tindak balas bagi kedua-dua
kaedah ini. Produk cecair yang terhasil dicirikan dengan menggunakan GC-FID dan
GC-MS manakala produk gas dicirikan dengan menggunakan GC-TCD. Keputusan kajian
menunjukkan simulasi mekanisme bagi kedua-dua tindak balas DO dan HDO bagi asid laurik dengan menggunakan mangkin FeMo/AC adalah sangat berkesan dengan penghasilan kepelbagaian spesies hidrokarbon.

Abstract
The higher demand for the use of
bio-jet fuel (BJF) in the aviation industry is one alternative to reduce carbon
dioxide (CO2) emissions into the environment. Malaysia is rich in
palm oil resources and palm kernel oil (PKO) which contain about 48% lauric
acid (C12), can be use as a feedstock for BJF production. There are two methods
to convert lauric acid to BJF, namely the catalytic deoxygenation (DO) method
and the catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) method. DO can convert lauric acid
to BJF through the reactions without hydrogen (H2) involving
decarboxylation/decarbonylation (deCOx) processes to remove oxygen, producing
hydrocarbon chains and CO2 alongside byproducts such as carbon
monoxide (CO) and water (H2O). Meanwhile, HDO converts lauric acid
to BJF by removing oxygen in the form of H2O in the presence of H2.
In this study, both DO and HDO methods were used to produce BJF using FeMo/AC
catalyst. The synthesized catalyst was characterized using several
characterization techniques such as XRD, FESEM-EDX, BET, TPD, and VSM. The
effect of reaction temperature on the resulting products was studied to
determine the reaction mechanisms for both methods. The liquid products
obtained were characterized using GC-FID and GC-MS, while the gas products were
characterized using GC-TCD. The results showed that the simulation mechanisms
for both DO and HDO reactions for lauric acid using FeMo/AC catalyst is very
effective where the reaction producing a variety of hydrocarbon species.
