The invention relates to an adsorbent for removing
sulfur-and-
oxygen-containing impurities from a light
hydrocarbon material flow, and a preparation method and a regeneration method of the adsorbent. The adsorbent is prepared by expanding pores by using organic amine, adding an
alkali metal salt solution which contains a small quantity of
rare earth metals, blending and then adding an
adhesive for rolling balls and forming, wherein
activated aluminum oxide and kaolin are taken as raw materials; and performing high-temperature
roasting and activating after low-temperature
drying is performed, wherein the prepared adsorbent consists of Al2O3, SiO2,
alkali metal oxides and trace
rare earth oxides; the particle
diameter of the prepared adsorbent is 2.5 to 5.5mm; the specific surface area of the adsorbent is 260 to 320m<2> / g; the pore volume of the adsorbent is 0.3 to 0.35ml / g. According to the adsorbent, electric charges on the surface of the adsorbent are distributed reasonably by the synergistic effect of introduced different types of
rare earth metal elements, the removal precision and the adsorption capacity of the
sulfur-and-
oxygen-containing impurities by the adsorbent are greatly improved, and meanwhile, the selectivity of the adsorbent on polar molecules is greatly improved by introduced
sodium silicate, and overall adsorption heat is reduced. The process is simple; the prepared adsorbent can be regenerated and recycled; the regeneration method is simple.
