This research aims to prepare, characterize and determine the metal of Nickel (Ni), Cobalt (Co) and Molybdenum (Mo) on the supporting material natural zeolite (ZA). The bimetallic catalysts NiMo/ZA and CoMo/ZA were prepared by coimpregnation method. Activation of the catalysts included calcination and reduction. The minerals present in the catalyst was analyzed using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), functional groups was characterized using Fourier Transform Infra Red, crystallinity was characterized using X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and morphology was characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The result based on characterization, it is know that  catalyst CoMo/ZA shows best amount metal impregnated (Co metal content is 3,90 % and Mo metal content 8,88%). The CoMo/ZA metal particels contained of CoO, MoO3 and NiMo/ZA metal particles contained of NiO, MoO3.. Ni, Co and Mo metals on the surface had significant influnce on the crystal structure and morphology accrording to XRD analysis. Base on characterization of the crystal stucture and the metal content it ist known that the CoMo/ZA was the best sample compared to NiMo/ZA.
