The method used for catalytic cracking of methyl ester includes 3 steps, namely the preparation of natural zeolite catalyst, catalytic cracking reaction at 280°C temperature, and analysis of cracked methyl ester. The characteristics of GC-MS cracking methyl esters indicate the addition of palmitoleic acid, and oleic acid. Cracking reaction of methyl ester at 280°C does not occur, the conversion of the reaction to form undesirable compounds namely carbon chains > C 15 , so the natural zeolite catalyst from Mamasa is not selective for cracking reaction at 280°C. ## Keywords - Zeolite - Cracking - Catalysis - Fluid catalytic cracking - Chemistry - Organic chemistry --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
