Bentonite is a kind of loam composed of montmorillonit as a constituent of main .

Bentonite have
the ability inflate high , capacity money ions high as well as having the nature of acidity on the
surface of bentonite so they could be used as a catalyst .Bentonite if applied directly still have
limited namely structure between lapis easily broken , readily undergoing dehydration and
surface area is still low .An increase in power to bentonite of nature can done by modifying
bentonite through pilarisasi .Pilarisasi be done to improve structure between layers and
increasing stability thermal .Pilarisasi committed using a metallic oxide alumina can increase
acidity , thermal stability high , the surface area of great that bentonite terpilar have a chance to
be used as a catalyst for optimize caretaker reaction hidrorengkah vegetable oils . The addition
of nickel metal ( ni ) into caretaker a catalyst capable of increasing the activity of catalytic to
reaction hidrorengkah.penambahan metal copper so cu ) as promoter a catalyst for increase
distribution nickel metal on the surface of a catalyst and prevent accumulation of carbon
remains in nickel that can improve the activity of a catalyst that can be used to reaction
hidrorengkah .Hidrorengkah done through termination chain hydrocarbon long in being short
.The influence of the ratio a catalyst with the bait able to increase the activity of a catalyst to the
process hidrorengkah on oil jelantah , so that oil jelantah can be used as products of the fuel
biogasoline .The purpose of research is conducted synthesis a catalyst ni-cu / al2o3-bentonit ,
test-fired a the activity of a catalyst in reaction hidrorengkah oil jelantah be biogasoline ,
determine variation the ratio mass a catalyst / bait to reaction hidrorengkah oil jalantah be
biogasoline .
The catalyst preparasi synthesis ni-cu / al2o3-bentonit conducted in this research among others
the synthesis bentonite terpilar al2o3 with ratio moles oh- / al3 + = 2.Impregnation metal ni ( no3
) 2.6h2o and cu ( no3 ) 2.3h2o with ratio moles ni and cu 3: 1.Characterizing the catalyst ni-cu /
al2o3-bentonit using methods gravimetric with steam ammonia to determine the total, acidity xrd
( x-ray diffraction ).Test the activity of a catalyst to such reactions hidrorengkah do with the
reactor fixed-bed reactor with the ratio of the mass of a catalyst to a variation ni-cu / al2o3-
bentonit against bait oil jelantah among others k / m ( 1: 50 ), k / m ( 1: 75 ), k / m ( 1: 100 ) to
done perbandingkan on thermal perengkahan without using catalysts.A fluid product reaction
analyzed using gc-ms ( gas chromatography-mass spectrometry ).
The research results obtained show acidity total as much as a catalyst ni-cu / al2o3 1,8045
mmol / g. the activity of a catalyst obtained show that the percentage of the average yield be
greatest in the ratio of the mass of a catalyst ni-cu / al2o3-bentonit / bait k / m ( 1: 75 ) as much
as 3,27 % while for thermal perengkahan without using catalysts not resulting yield the product
because it has a low. biogasoline contentThe ratio of the mass of a catalyst / bait that is
effective for reactions hidrorengkah oil jelantah be biogasoline is k / m ( 1: 75 ) with value faction
selektifitas biogasoline 31,06 %. as much as
The results of research imply acidity total a catalyst ni-cu / al2o3 as much as 1,8045 mmol / g.
the activity of a catalyst obtained shows that the percentage for the yield applied for greatest in
the ratio of a mass of a catalyst ni-cu / al2o3-bentonit / bait k / m ( 1: 75 ) as much as 3.27 %
and thermal without the use of a catalyst to perengkahan not resulting yield the product because
it has a low biogasoline content .The ratio of a mass of a catalyst / bait which are effective for
hidrorengkah reaction oil jelantah be biogasoline is k / m ( 1: 75 selektifitas biogasoline faction
to the value of as much as 31,06 % . ~
