Popis: In the present work, nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co) and iron (Fe) are tested as catalyst dopants on Malaysian dolomite calcined at T = 900 °C (CMD900). The physicochemical properties of all synthesised catalyst are investigated by X-ray diffraction, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area, temperature-programmed desorption of carbon dioxide and scanning emission microscopy. The synthesised catalysts are tested on the basis of the deoxygenation (DO) reaction of waste cooking oil to produce liquid fuels under N2 atmosphere. The chemical composition of the liquid product is identified by gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy. The overall study suggests that Ni/CMD900 catalyst exhibits the highest performance with over 67.0% conversion and high selectivity (80.2%) with a high proportion of saturated linear hydrocarbons that corresponds to green diesel. Result indicates that Ni/CMD900 is a highly potential DO catalyst with 19.8% oxygenated compound, which is favourable for decarboxylation and/or decarboxylation predominates.
