Desulphurization by reactive adsorption was studied on sand abrasive blasting grit/ bentonite. The adsorbent was characterized by determining the composition, adsorption isotherms, specific surface area, pore volume and average pore diameter. Adsorption experiments were performed in continuous system at 260�300oC, 25 atm and volume hourly space velocities of 1-2 h-1. The efficiency of adsorption was evaluated at desulphurization of a synthetic reaction mixture and a catalytic cracking gas oil.
