Process for reducing the amount of carbon disulphide (CS2) in a hydrocarbon feed

A process for reducing the amount of CS2 in hydrocarbon feed;

• said process comprising the following steps:
• i. treating said hydrocarbon feed with an amine functionalized anion exchange resin at a pre-determined temperature, and at a pre-determined pressure, for a pre-determined time period, to obtain a mixture comprising a liquid fraction and a solid mass;
• wherein said liquid fraction comprises a treated hydrocarbon having reduced CS2;
• and said solid mass comprises an adduct of CS2 and said amine functionalized anion exchange resin;
• ii. separating said solid mass from said liquid fraction to obtain said treated hydrocarbon having CS2 content less than CS2 content of said hydrocarbon feed;
• and
• iii. optionally, regenerating said amine functionalized anion exchange resin from said solid mass,
• wherein, said amine is a secondary amine selected from the group consisting of diethyl amine, dimethyl amine, di-isopropyl amine, di-n-propyl amine, dibutyl amine, and dibenzyl amine;
• wherein said anion exchange resin is at least one selected from the group consisting of styrene divinylbenzene, polyethylene amine, and polyacrylamide.
