>Magister Scientiae - MSc / The use of diesel engines in vehicles and heavy machinery throughout the world has been
slowly increasing in the past few decades. This has led to high demand for diesel and
gasoline with high octane number. Diesel and gasoline are in high demand due to its qualities
as fuels containing low or no sulfur and nitrogen compounds, making them environmentally
friendly and the anti- knocking properties respectively. With these reasons and more,
researchers have been studying processes like the catalytic oligomerization of olefins to
produce synthetic fuels with augmented qualities and properties. The effectiveness of the
process will depend on the quality of the catalyst.
