Abstract
A totally contained adsorption process for the substantial total removal and conversion of benzene to cyclohexane in gasoline boiling range streams. At least a portion of the gasoline boiling range stream is passed through an adsorption zone containing an adsorbent which will selectively adsorb benzene from the stream. The process is totally contained in the sense that substantially total conversion of benzene to cyclohexane is achieved without the need for added desorbent. The desorbent is cyclohexane which is generated in the process.
