<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an adsorbent for removing a sulfur compound, capable of efficiently removing a sulfur component in a hydrocarbon-containing gas up to a low concentration at room temperature. <P>SOLUTION: The adsorbent for removing the sulfur compound in the hydrocarbon-containing gas supports at least one component, which is selected from silver, silver oxide, copper and a copper oxide, on a carrier containing an oxide of a metal element of the group III. After this adsorbent is used to subject the sulfur compound in the hydrocarbon-containing gas to desulfurization treatment, the desulfurized hydrocarbon-containing gas is brought into contact with a partial oxidation catalyst, an autothermal modifying catalyst or a steam reforming catalyst to produce hydrogen for a fuel cell. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
