<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for removing sulfur from a liquid fuel, by which sulfur contents, especially thiophene compounds which contain each one or more benzene rings and are slightly removable sulfur components, in the liquid fuel containing organic sulfur compounds can efficiently be removed down to an extremely low concentration at a temperature of ≤80°C, and to provide a fuel battery system using hydrogen produced by reforming the obtained desulfurized fuel. <P>SOLUTION: This method for removing the sulfur from the liquid fuel is characterized by desulfurizing the liquid fuel with a desulfurizing agent prepared by carrying at least one active metal component selected from the groups 9, 10 and 11 in the periodic table on a carrier. Thereby, sulfur contents, especially thiophene compounds having each one or more benzene rings, in the sulfur compound-containing liquid fuels can efficiently be removed down to an extremely low sulfur concentration at a temperature of ≤80°C. And, the fuel battery system using hydrogen produced by reforming the liquid fuel desulfurized by the desulfurization method. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
