This invention is a process for removing minor amounts of organic halide e.g., organic chloride, contaminants from hydrocarbon feedstocks by contact with a regenerable solid adsorbent comprising a metal and/or metal hydride selected from nickel, cobalt or iron, or mixtures thereof on a porous refractory support, such as silica, whereby the halide present in the hydrocarbon feedstock is converted substantially to an insoluble metal halide salt of the supported metal or metal hydride with the hydrocarbon feedstock being recovered from the contacting step substantially free of organic halide contaminant. Also disclosed is a process for regeneration of the adsorbent loaded with metal halide from the hydrocarbon feedstock contacting step and an integrated process where the regenerated adsorbent is reused to remove additional organic halide from the hydrocarbon feedstock.

[ What is claimed:] [1.] A process for removing organic halide contaminants present in minor amounts in a hydrocarbon feedstock which comprises contacting the hydrocarbon feedstock with a solid adsorbent comprising a metal or metal hydride or mixture of metal and metal hydride wherein the metal is selected from nickel, cobalt and iron or mixtures thereof, on a porous, high surface area, refractory silica support with the metal and/or metal hydride comprising about 5 to 75 percent by weight of the solid adsorbent, whereby a least substantial portion of the organic halide present is converted to an insoluble halide salt of the supported metal or metal hydride, and thereby removed from the hydrocarbon feedstock, with the hydrocarbon feedstock being recovered after contact with the solid adsorbent substantially free of organic halide contaminants.
