Adsorbent, liquid phase hydrogenation catalyst composition, catalyst bed and use thereof

A liquid-phase hydrogenation catalyst composition, comprising at least one hydrogenation catalytic component having desulfurization activity and at least one sulfur-adsorbing component, wherein the sulfur-adsorbing component comprises a porous material and a hydrogenation active metal supported on the porous material, wherein the sulfur-adsorbing component has an average pore diameter of 2-15 nm (preferably 2-10 nm), and a specific surface area of 200-500 m2/g (preferably 250-400 m2/g), the hydrogenation active metal is present in an amount of 10 wt % or less (preferably 8 wt % or less, 6 wt % or less, 5 wt % or less, 2.5 wt % or less, 2 wt % or less, 1.5 wt % or less, or 0.05-1 wt %), calculated as metal oxide and based on the total weight of the sulfur-adsorbing component, and the mass content of the hydrogenation active metal in the sulfur-adsorbing component (calculated as metal oxide and based on the total weight of the sulfur-adsorbing component) is 0.06-66% (preferably 1.88-25%, more preferably 2.30-25%) of the mass content of the hydrogenation active component in the hydrogenation catalytic component having desulfurization activity (calculated as metal oxide and based on the total weight of the hydrogenation catalytic component having desulfurization activity).
