Bio-gasoline, a renewable biofuel, can be produced from waste cooking oil (WCO) and has emerged as a potential substitute to fossil fuels. The production of bio-gasoline falls in the range of C5–C12 hydrocarbons. This study explores the potential of waste concrete as a catalyst to produce bio-gasoline through catalytic cracking of WCO. The study focused on exploring the impacts of catalyst loading and particle size on the yield and selectivity of C5-C12 hydrocarbons obtained from WCO using three different catalyst loadings ranging from 5g to 10g as well as three different particle sizes of ranging from 75 to 600 μm at a fixed temperature of 400 ºC. The research findings highlighted that for different catalyst loading, the highest yield and selectivity of C5-C12 hydrocarbons were achieved using 10g of calcined concrete catalyst (59.14%, 1.45), while at different catalyst particle size, the highest yield and selectivity was obtained using 75 - 150 μm of calcined concrete catalyst (46.56%, 0.87). The results suggest that a higher catalyst loading, and smaller particle size will increase the yield and selectivity of C5-C12 hydrocarbons obtained during the catalytic cracking of WCO.
