Abstract

Waste cooking oils (WCOs) are a cheap and rich source of carbon and hydrogen, and they exhibit great potential for the preparation of hydrogen gas and carbon nanomaterials. Here, we prepared three Pt–Ni/SBA-15 catalysts with Pt contents ranging from 0 to 2% to examine their activity in the catalytic cracking of WCO towards the production of hydrogen and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). A mixture of soybean oil, oleic acid and animal fat was used as a model compound of WCO, and the catalysts were characterised by inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, temperature programmed reduction, thermogravimetric analysis and Raman spectroscopy. The effect of Pt loading and cracking temperature on the hydrogen production and the quality of CNTs was also evaluated. Among the prepared catalysts, 2%Pt–30%Ni/SBA-15 showed excellent catalytic activity at 750 °C, affording a maximum hydrogen content of 66.2 vol%, while CNTs with diameters of 20–100 nm and high crystallinity, oxidation stability, graphitisation and purity were also prepared.
