CATALYTIC COMPOSITIONS USEFUL IN REMOVAL OF SULFUR COMPOUNDS FROM GASEOUS HYDROCARBONS, PROCESSES FOR MAKING THESE AND USES THEREOF

摘要

A catalytic composition is disclosed, which exhibits an X-ray amorphous oxide, with a spinel formula and highly dispersed crystals of ZnO, CuO, and optionally CeO2. The composition is useful in oxidative and adsorptive processes for removing sulfur from gaseous hydrocarbons.
