The synthesis and characterization of Ni-NH
2 /Mesoporous Silica (MS) catalysts from Lapindo mud for the hydrocracking of waste cooking oil into biofuel has been conducted. The MS was synthesized by the hydrothermal method using CTAB as a template. The functionalization of -NH2 into MS was carried out by the grafting method. The Ni metal was loaded into NH2 /MS by wet impregnation. The catalytic activity test was done for hydrocracking of waste cooking oil by using the MS, NH2 /MS, and Ni-NH2 /MS catalysts. The results of the liquid product of the hydrocracking were analyzed by the gravimetric method and GC-MS. The experimental result showed that the liquid products of the hydrocracking using MS, NH2 /MS, and Ni-NH2 /MS catalysts were 63.95, 70.32, and 66.44 wt.%. The highest selectivity of the gasoline fraction (34.98 wt.%) was produced by the NH2 /MS catalyst and the highest diesel oil fraction (1.52 wt.%) was produced by MS. The NH2 /MS catalyst was successfully used as a catalyst in the hydrocracking of waste cooking oil into the hydrocarbons (biofuel). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
