Abstract:
An adsorbent-catalyst for removal of sulphur compounds from sulfur compound contaminated gas and liquid feed streams, wherein the adsorbent-catalyst is a synthetic X or Y faujasite with a silica to alumina ratio from 1.8:1 to about 5:1 and wherein 40 to 90% of the cations of the faujasite include transition metals of Groups IB, IIB and VIIB with the balance of the cations being alkali or alkaline earth metals.
