Plasma-assisted catalytic cracking is an attractive method for producing biofuels from vegetable oil. This paper studied the effect of reactor temperature on   the   performance of plasma-assisted catalytic cracking of palm oil into biofuels. The cracking process was conducted in a Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD)-type plasma reactor with the presence of spent R  F  CC catalyst. The reactor temperature was varied at 400, 450, and 500 oC. The liquid fuel product was analyzed using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to determine the compositions.   R  esult showed that the presence  of plasma and catalytic   role   can enhance the reactor performance so that the selectivity of   the   short-chain hydrocarbon produced increases.   The selectivity of gasoline, kerosene, and diesel range fuels over the plasma-catalytic reactor were 16.43%, 52.74% and 21.25%, respectively, while the selectivity of gasoline, kerosene and diesel range fuels over a conventional fixed bed reactor was 12.07%, 39.07%, and 45.11%, respectively.    Th   e   increasing reactor temperature led to enhanced   catalytic role of cracking reaction,  particularly   directing the reaction to the shorter hydrocarbon range  . The reactor temperature dependence on the liquid product components distribution over the plasma-catalytic reactor was also studied. The aromatic and oxygenated compounds increased with the reactor temperature.  ©2020. CBIORE-IJRED. All rights reserved
