Particulate sorbent compositions which are suitable for the removal of sulfu r from streams of cracked-gasoline or diesel fuel are provided which have increased porosity, improved resistance to deactivation through the addition of a calcium compound selected from the group consisting of calcium sulfate, calcium silicate, calcium phosphate or calcium aluminate to the support syst em comprised of zinc oxide, silica and alumina having thereon a promotor wherei n the promotor is metal, metal oxide or metal oxide precursor with the metal being selected from the group consisting of cobalt, nickel, iron, manganese, copper, molybdenum, tungsten, silver, tin and vanadium or mixtures thereof a nd wherein the valence of such promotor has been substantially reduced to 2 or less. Process for the preparation of such sorbent systems as well as the use of same for the desulfurization of cracked-gasolines and diesel fuels are al so provided. |
