Abstrakt: Glycerol is the main by-product of biodiesel production and during the trans-esterification reaction, about 10 wt % of glycerol is produced. In this study, different amount of Ni was loaded on HZSM-5 and tested for the conversion of glycerol to hydrogen. The studies were also conducted at different reactor temperature of 450, 500, 550, 600 and 650oC respectively. The structural characterization of the catalyst was carried out using the XRD. It was found that, the addition of 15 wt % of nickel loaded on HZSM-5 shows the highest glycerol conversion of 98.54%. In addition, it produces the highest yield of hydrogen gas operated at reactor temperature of 600oC.
