NH4Y zeolite was prepared through ion-exchange of NaY zeolite with an ammonium salt. Then LaY zeolite was obtained through a secondary ion-exchange of NH4Y zeolite with a rare earth salt solution followed by calcination of the zeolite product. Dynamic adsorptive desulfurization of naphtha was conducted in the presence of the modified LaY zeolite, and the sulfur content of the treated naphtha samples was analyzed by microcoulometry. The test results showed that under dynamic conditions the LaY zeolite prepared through secondary ion-exchange of NH4Y zeolite, which was prepared using 1.0 mol/L ammonium salt, with the rare earth salt exhibited a better desulfurization efficiency. Furthermore, the LaY zeolite achieved a best desulfurization effect at an adsorption temperature of 45 ℃ and an adsorbent/oil ratio of 1:2.
