The present invention relates to a adsorbent composition for removing refractory sulphur compounds from refinery streams comprising of base component in the range of 10 to 50 wt %, spinel oxide in the range of 20 to 60 wt % as a reactive metal oxide component and bimetallic alloy in the range of 10 to 40 wt % acting as an adsorption enhancer component, wherein the adsorption enhancer component acts in synergy with base component. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of said composition by mixing in solid state fine particles of base component, spinel oxide and bimetallic alloy, homogenizing the mixture thus obtained with solvent, peptizing the wet solid with dilute mineral acid, extruding the peptized material with extrusion aiding agents, drying the extrudates, further calcining the dried extrudates and reducing the calcined material under hydrogen flow.

Adsorbent composition for removal of refractory sulphur compounds from refinery streams and process thereof

An apparatus for separating impurities from a liquid by a non-dispersive contacting of a liquid&#x2014;liquid reactive systems, the liquids being immiscible with each other, having a cylindrical column separated into a first stage and a second stage, a plurality of modules of packed metallic fibers mounted in the first stage of the column on a support, a first distributor provided in the first stage of the column for distributing a first liquid located above the support such that the first liquid completely wets the fibers by capillary action and forms a film thereon, a second distributor fitted at a bottom portion of the second stage for distributing a second liquid containing impurities on to the metallic fibers, wherein the second liquid flows concurrently with said first liquid so that the impurities present in the second liquid react with the first liquid and dissolve therein and a separator connected to a bottom of said column separates the first liquid and purified second liquid.

Device and method for non-dispersive contacting of liquid&#x2014;liquid reactive system
