| dc.description.abstract | Motor oil is used as a lubricant for various types of mechanical contraption in industry and in our daily life which the purpose is to protect the equipment so that it operates in a correct manner and lengthen the lifetime. Therefore, by recycling the used motor oil, it can reduce the disposal amount. Catalytic cracking is one of the method nowadays use to crack the used motor oil. The motor oil contains heavy portion that can be cracked into lighter oil and can be used as a fuel for heating purposes. The used motor oil usually has high viscosity that make the oil become more viscous. Ultrasonic treatment is used in the present study to crack the heavier hydrocarbon and to reduce viscosity. Metal for zeolite such as Iron, Magnesium and Copper only used as metal for catalyst in the petroleum industry and their effect on the cracking of used motor oil using ultrasonic treatment were investigated. In this research, different parameters such as amplitude of the ultrasonic (40%-80% amplitude) , residence time (20-40 minutes) and catalyst type (Fe/HZSM-5, Mg/HZSM-5 and Cu/HZSM-5) were studied to determine the sonocracking effect on the used motor oil. Through this experiment, the result showed that the used parameter range (60% amplitude and 30 minutes) and catalyst type (Mg/HZSM-5) is the best because the result shows it produced high amount of diesel (23%) and less residue (74%) compared to Fe/HZSM-5 and Cu/HZSM-5. | en_US |
