The catalytic cracking was carried out at optimized conditions: 0.3-MPa pressure, temperature of 500°C, and oil to catalyst ratio of 1:5. One of the challenges in upgrading bio-oil by catalytic cracking is deactivation of catalyst due to coke formation on catalyst surface. To overcome coke deposition, the upgrading process was carried out at 0.3-MPa pressure. Characterization of raw and upgraded bio-oil obtained through catalytic cracking was discussed in detail, indicating improvement in its physical properties. The distribution of products after cracking of bio-oil includes 58.89 wt of organic liquid product, 15.63 wt of aqueous fraction, 7.84 wt of coke, and 17.64 wt of gases. The degree of deoxygenation and calorific value of organic liquid product is 43.74 and 31.65 MJ/kg respectively. Organic liquid product obtained comprises 17.55 of hydrocarbons within the gasoline range. Hence, HZSM-5 proved its effectiveness for upgrading the bio-oil in a continuous mode. © 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. date: 2016 publisher: Taylor and Francis Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84961918914&doi=10.1080%2f15435075.2014.966370&partnerID=40&md5=732349a835ab055578bad9d3c8fdd751 id_number: 10.1080/15435075.2014.966370 full_text_status: none publication: International Journal of Green Energy volume: 13 number: 4 pagerange: 424-429 refereed: TRUE issn: 15435075 citation: Jamil, F. and Ahmad, M.M. and Yusup, S. and Abdullah, B.
