FIELD: oil and gas industry.
SUBSTANCE: group of inventions is related to desulphurisation of hydrocarbons. The method includes the following stages: (i) passage of the mixture of hydrocarbon and hydrogen through desulphurisation catalyst with conversion of organosulphur compounds present in the above hydrocarbon to hydrogen sulphide; (ii) passage of the obtained mixture through sorbent of hydrogen sulphide containing zinc oxide with reduction of hydrogen sulphide content in the mixture; and (iii) passage of gas mixture lean with hydrogen sulphide through additional desulphurising material. The additional desulphurising material contains mouldable mixture of one or more nickel compounds in the form of particles, the carrier material containing zinc oxide in the form of particles and optionally one or more compounds of promoted metals in the form of particles selected from iron, cobalt, copper and precious metals. At that the above desulphurising material contains 0.3-20 wt % of nickel and 0-10 wt % of promoted metal. The hydrocarbon stock reforming method is suggested with usage of the above hydrocarbon desulphurisation method.
EFFECT: increased efficiency of hydrocarbon desulphurisation with sulphur content up to <5 parts per billion.
