Abstract
Removal of sulfur compounds from naphtha solutions has been investigat ed by using adsorption methods. Activated carbon, zeolite 5A, and zeol ite 13X were used for this purpose. Zeolite 13X has shown higher capac ity for sulfur at low concentration ranges. At higher ranges the capac ity of activated carbon is 3 times greater than that of 13X zeolite at 20-degrees-C. Zeolite 5A was unfavorable for sulfur sorption from nap htha. A correlation is developed to fit the experimental data. Agreeme nt is reasonably good.
