| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a process for the removal of sulfur cont aminants from a hydrocarbon stream comprising: (a) providing a gaseous hydro carbon stream having sulfur contaminants, but having less than 10 ppmw of sa id sulfur contaminants as thiophenes, to a bed of adsorbent material, said m aterial having at least one Group VIII metal compound with at least one Grou p VI, IA, IIA, IB metal compound on an inorganic metal oxide support materia l, without substantial added hydrogen, to absorb said contaminants; (b) peri odically stopping said providing of said gaseous hydrocarbon feed stream of (a); (c) then, regenerating said adsorbent bed by introducing at least one r egenerant, in any order, in the place of said stream; and, (d) continuing to alternate (a) and (b) plus (c) as needed. |
