Abstract
A process for the use of such sorbent, or catalyst, to effectively remove sulfur from naphthas at temperatures above about 350.degree. F. without the significant production, if any, of PNA's. The invention embodies a particulate mass of a sorbent, or catalyst, comprised of nickel in concentration ranging from about 10 percent to about 70 percent, preferably from about 20 percent to about 50 percent, calculated as metallic nickel based on the total weight of the sorbent, iron in concentration ranging from about 1 percent to about 15 percent, preferably from about 2 percent to about 10 percent, calculated as metallic iron based on the total weight of the sorbent, or catalyst composition and a porous, refractory inorganic oxide such as silica, alumina, clays, or mixture thereof; preferably alumina, with which the nickel and iron are composited.
