A PROCESS FOR THE DESULPHURISATION OF PETROLEUM HYDROCARBONS, WHICH COMPRISES PASSING A PETROLEUM DISTILATE BOILING IN THE GAS OIL BOILING RANGE TO A FIRST REACTION ZONE WHEREIN IT IS CONTACTED IN THE PRESENCE OF HYDROGEN WITH A SULPHUR-RESISTANT HYDROGENATION CATALYST AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE 600*-850* F. AND AT A PRESSURE IN THE RANGE 100-1500 P.S.I.G. SUCH THAT ORGANICALLY COMBINED SULPH-GE 100-1500 P.S.I.G. SUCH THAT ORGANICALLY INTO HYDROGEN SULPHIDE, SEPARATING A DISTILLATE OF REDUCED SULPHUR CONTENT FROM THE PRODUCTS OF THE FIRST REACTION ZONE, PASSING SAID DESULPHURISED DISTILLATE TO A SECOND REACTION ZONE WHEREIN IT IS CONTACTED AT A TEMPERATURE OF 600*-800* F. AND A PRESSURE OF 50-500 P.S.I.G. AND IN THE PRESENCE OF HYDROGEN WITH A CATALYST CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF A PLATINUM GROUP METAL ON A METAL OXIDE SUPPORT, SUCH THAT HYDROGEN IS PRODUCED FROM SAID DESULPHURISED DISTILLATE WITHOUT ADVERSELY AFFECTING THE PROPERTIES OF THE DESULPHURISED DISTILLATE AS RESPECTS ITS SUITABILITY FOR NORMAL USES, SEPARATING A HYDROGEN-RICH GAS FROM THE PRODUCTS OF THE SECOND REACTION ZONE, AND RECYCLING SAID HYDROGEN-RICH GAS TO BOTH SAID REACTION ZONES.
