METHOD FOR REMOVING SULFUR COMPOUNDS FROM HYDROCARBON STREAMS

摘要

A process for removing sulfur compounds selected from mercaptans (R—SH), organic sulfides (R—S—R′), organic disulfides (R—S—S—R′) and carbonyl sulfide (COS) from a hydrocarbonaceous stream comprises an absorption step of contacting the hydrocarbonaceous stream comprising one or more sulfur compounds with an absorbent comprising a first transition metal sulfide to bind at least some of the sulfur present in the sulfur compound or compounds in the transition metal sulfide as additional sulfur to form a second transition metal sulfide.
