FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of producing a catalytically active absorber for desulphuration of hydrocarbon streams, in which a) a mixture is prepared from thermally decomposable copper and molybdenum sources, zinc oxide and water; b) the mixture is heated to temperature at which the copper and molybdenum sources decompose to obtain zinc oxide saturated with copper and molybdenum compounds; c) calcination of zinc oxide saturated with copper and molybdenum compounds to obtain a catalytically active adsorbent; wherein the zinc oxide must have specific surface area of more than 20 m2/g and mean particle diameter D50 in the range of 7-60 mcm.
EFFECT: method enables to obtain a catalytically active adsorbent with resistance to decomposition and stability of dimensions, which does not decompose even under high mechanical loads, while maintaining high sulphur-absorption capacity.
