The present disclosure provides a process for separating oxygenates present in an aromatic hydrocarbon stream to obtain an oxygenates-free aromatic hydrocarbon stream. The process involves selectively removing oxygenates from the aromatic hydrocarbon stream by passing said stream through at least one zeolite based adsorbing material.

A process for producing a hydrocarbon stream with reduced CS.sub.2 content, comprising contacting a hydrocarbon stream containing CS.sub.2 with a solid reactive CS.sub.2-scavenger which contains primary and/or secondary amino group-bearing hydrocarbon residues attached to a solid support, at a temperature in the range of from 0 to 300° C., and separating the obtained reaction product of and reactive CS.sub.2-scavenger from the hydrocarbon stream.

Process for converting waste plastics to refining feedstock. The process includes conducting pyrolysis of a plastic feedstock comprising waste plastics to produce a liquid stream of plastic pyrolysis oil; directly feeding the liquid stream of plastic pyrolysis oil to an adsorption based purification process to generate a treated plastic pyrolysis oil stream; and collecting the treated plastic pyrolysis oil stream from the adsorption vessel for further processing into value added products as a feedstock for conventional refining processes. The adsorption based purification process includes contacting the liquid stream of plastic pyrolysis oil with one or more adsorbent materials in an adsorption vessel, the adsorbent materials with at least one of the one or more adsorbent materials being configured for adsorption of organic molecules having heteroatoms of each of sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen, and chlorine. Such system may be integrated with a conventional refinery.

An adsorbent composition for removing chlorides from hydrocarbon includes an adsorbent matrix and a metallic component. The metallic component forms an intimate complex with the adsorbent matrix. The adsorbent composition is characterized by pore size in the range of 20 Å to 120 Å. It is found that the amount of chlorides removed by the adsorbent composition from the hydrocarbon is in the range of 0.020 wt. % to 0.047 wt. %.

The present disclosure relates to a process for reducing the amount of carbon disulphide (CS.sub.2) in a hydrocarbon feed containing C.sub.5-C.sub.8 fractions. The hydrocarbon feed is treated with an amine functionalized anion exchange resin (basic anion exchange resin) to obtain a mixture comprising a liquid fraction containing treated hydrocarbon and a solid mass containing an adduct of CS.sub.2 and the amine functionalized anion exchange resin. The so obtained liquid fraction containing the treated hydrocarbon is separated from the solid mass to obtain the hydrocarbon having CS.sub.2 content less than 2 ppm. The amine functionalized anion exchange resin can be regenerated from the solid mass.
