Abstract
A particulate desulphurization material includes one or more copper compounds supported on a zinc oxide support material, wherein the desulphurization material has a copper content in the range 0.1 to 5.0% by weight and a tapped bulk density ≧1.55 kg/l. The material is obtained by (i) mixing a powdered copper compound with a particulate zinc support material comprising zinc oxide and one or more precursors that form zinc oxide upon calcination, and one or more binders to form a copper-containing composition, (ii) shaping the copper-containing composition by granulation, and (iii) drying and calcining the resulting granulated material.
