| Summary: | In this research zeolite NaX and NaX cation exchanged has been successfully synthesized. The synthesized method using co-precipitation method in room temperature with sonication and microwave. For NaX cation exchanged synthesized method using co-precipitation method in room temperature for 15 hours. Characterization that used in this research are Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) dan Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET). FTIR spectra shows that the material formed Si-O-Na, Si-O-Al, H2O, Si-OH and Si-OH-Al bond which these bonds are commonly found in zeolite. XRD results shows that the crystal of NaX has been formed for 5 days aging and also it has a typical peak of zeolite NaX in 15,3° and 23,2°. BET results shows that NaX with 5 days aging has the highest specific surface area with value of 158,68 m2/g. From these results we expected with 5 days aging it the highest catalytic performance. Catalytic performace test divided in 3 parts which are determination of API Gravity value, Pour point and viscosity in 2 different types crude oil (paraffinic crude oil and high viscosity crude oil). API Gravity results shows that with catalyst NaX and NaX Cation Exchanged the paraffinic crude oil API Gravity increasre but not significant but for high viscosity oil the can’t increase the API Gravity so the catalyst doesn’t work to increase API Gravity. The pour point test result that using NaX and NaX Cation Exchanged in paraffinic and high viscous crude oil has the same value using only water so the catalyst doesn’t work to decrease the pour point of crude oils. Viscosity results shows that with using NaX and NaX cation exchanged the value of viscosity relatively same in aquathermolysis reaction that only uses water so the catalyst can’t work to decrease viscosity crude oil. |
