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