<p>A process is provided for removing sulfur compounds, such as 4, 6 - dimethyldibenzothiophene, etc., out of hydrocarbon fluids, such as middle distillates, cracked gasoline, etc., by passing the sulfur compound-contaminated hydrocarbon fluid and an oxidizing agent, such as a peroxide, etc., into an oxidizer (10) where the oxidizing agent oxidizes the sulfur compounds into species, such as sulfones and sulfoxides. The resulting hydrocarbon fluid is transferred into a desulfurization reactor (12) containing a fluidized bed of a sorbent comprising a zinc-based solid solution of the formula MaZnb, where M is a metal such as nickel, cobalt, iron, etc., where the sorbent removes sulfur compound contaminants out of the hydrocarbon fluid to provide a desulfurized hydrocarbon fluid. The spent sorbent is regenerated in a regenerator (14), activated in a reducer (16), and then returned to the desulfurization reactor (12).</p> |
