The physicochemical properties of catalyst were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) to determine type of crystal and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to determine morphology of the catalyst. Catalyst was synthesized by wetness impregnation method and simple heating method with various kind of Al2O3. The objective of this research was preparated NiMo/Al2O3 catalyst that used as hydrocracking catalyst. Alumina is widely used in hydrocracking process as catalyst support due to its high surface area, high thermal stability, and low prices. Hydrocracking catalyst are composed of active components and support. Catalyst was used in hydrocracking to reduce temperature and pressure. Hydrocracking is a chemical process used in petroleum refineries for converting high boiling hydrocarbons in petroleum crude oils to more valuable lower boiling products such as gasoline, kerosene, and diesel oil that operate at high temperature and pressure. Widiyadi, Aditya Guspiani, Gema Adil Riady, Jeffry Andreanto, Rikky Chaiunnisa, Safina Dea Widayat The catalytic activity in hydrocracking process was successfully examined to convert fatty acid into hydrocarbon. The NiMo/Al2O3 catalyst prepared by aluminium potassium sulfate dodecahydrate exhibited the highest crystallinity of 90.23% and it is clear that MoO3 and NiO crystallites are highly dispersed on the NiMo/Al2O3 catalyst which indicates as the best catalyst. The physicochemical properties of catalyst were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD to determine type of crystal and scanning electron microscopy (SEM to determine morphology of the catalyst.
