A process for the selective hydrodesulfurization of olefinic naphtha streams containing a substantial amount of organically-bound sulfur and olefins. The olefinic naphtha stream is selectively desulfurized in a first hydrodesulfurization stage. The effluent stream from this first stage is sent to a separation zone wherein a lower boiling naphtha stream and a higher boiling naphtha stream are produced. The lower boiling naphtha stream is sent through at least two more separation zones, each at a lower temperature than the preceding separation stage. The higher boiling naphtha stream, which contains most of the sulfur moieties, is passed to a second hydrodesulfurization stage wherein at least a fraction of the sulfur moieties are removed.

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for hydrodesulfurizing olefinic naphtha feedstreams and retaining a substantial amount of the olefins, which feedstream boils in the range of about 50�� F. (10�� C.) to about 450�� F. (232�� C.) and contains organically-bound sulfur and an olefin content of at
The invention claimed is: 1. A process for hydrodesulfurizing olefinic naphtha feedstreams and retaining a substantial amount of the olefins, which feedstream boils in the range of about 50�� F. (10�� C.) to about 450�� F. (232�� C.) and contains organically-bound sulfur and an olefin content of at least about 5 wt. %, which process comprises: a) hydrodesulfurizing the olefinic naphtha feedstream in a first hydrodesulfurization stage in the presence of hydrogen and a hydrodesulfurization catalyst, at hydrodesulfurization reaction conditions including temperatures from about 232�� C. (450�� F.) to about 427�� C. (800�� F.), pressures of about 60 to about 800 psig (about 515 to about 5,617 kPa), and hydrogen treat gas rates of about 1000 to about 6000 standard cubic feet per barrel (about 178 to about 1,058 m3/m3), to convert at least about 50 wt. %, but not all, of the organically-bound sulfur to hydrogen sulfide and to produce a sulfur-containing first product stream; b) conducting said sulfur-containing first product stream to a first separation zone operated at a temperature from about 93�� C. (200�� F.) to about 177�� C. (350�� F.) where it is contacted with a countercurrent flow of hydrogen treat gas to produce a first lower boiling naphtha product stream and a first higher boiling naphtha product stream, wherein the higher boiling product stream contains greater than about 50 wt. % of the sulfur from the first product stream; c) conducting said first lower boiling naphtha product stream to a second separation zone operated at a temperature at least 15�� C. (27�� F.) lower than that of said first separation stage wherein a second lower boiling naphtha product stream and a second higher boiling product stream are produced, which second higher boiling product stream contains substantially all of the sulfur from said first lower boiling naphtha product stream; d) conducting said second lower boiling product stream from said second separation stage to a third separation stage which is maintained at a temperature at least about 15�� C. (27�� F.) lower than that of said second separation stage thereby resulting in a hydrogen containing vapor recycle stream and a desulfurized naphtha product stream; e) conducting said first higher boiling naphtha product stream from said first separation zone and at least a portion of said second higher boiling naphtha stream from said second separation zone to a second hydrodesulfurization stage in the presence of hydrogen treat gas and a hydrodesulfurization catalyst, at hydrodesulfurization reaction conditions including temperatures from about 232�� C. (450�� F.) to about 427�� C. (800�� F.), pressures of about 60 to about 800 psig (about 515 to about 5,617 kPa), and hydrogen treat gas rates of about 1000 to about 6000 standard cubic feet per barrel (about 178 to about 1,068 m3/m3), to convert at least a portion of any remaining organically-bound sulfur to hydrogen sulfide; f) recycling at least a portion of the hydrogen containing vapor recycle stream from said third separation zone to said first hydrogenation stage; g) stripping substantially all remaining hydrogen from said desulfurized naphtha product stream from said third separation zone; and h) collecting said stripped desulfurized naphtha product stream. 2. The process of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of said second higher boiling naphtha product stream is conducted to said first separation zone and flows downward countercurrent to an upflowing hydrogen-containing vapor stream. 3. The process of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of said hydrogen-containing vapor from said third separation zone is conducted to said first separation zone where it flows countercurrent to downflowing naphtha. 4. The process of claim 1 wherein the hydrogen-containing vapor recycle stream from said third separation zone is conducted to an amine scrubbing zone where H2S is separated from said hydrogen-containing vapor stream. 5. The process of claim 1 wherein the hydrodesulfurization catalyst for said first, second, or both hydrodesulfurization stages is comprised of a Co catalytic component, a Mo catalytic component and a support component, wherein the Co component, as its oxide form, is present in an amount from about 2 to about 20 wt. % and the Mo component, as the oxide form, is present in an amount from about 5 to about 50 wt. %, on support. 6. The process of claim 5 wherein the Co component, as its oxide form, is present in an amount from about 4 to 12 wt. % and the Mo component, in its oxide form, is present in an amount from about 10 to 40 wt. %, on support. 7. The process of claim 1 wherein the catalyst for said hydrodesulfurization stage is characterized by the properties: (a) a MoO3 concentration of about 2 to about 18 wt. %; (b) a CoO concentration of about 0.1 to about 6 wt. %; both weight percents based on the total weight of the catalyst; (c) a Co/Mo atomic ratio of about 0.1 to about 1.0; (d) a median pore diameter of about 60 Å to about 200 Å; (e) a MoO3 surface concentration of about 0.5��10-4 to about 3��10-4 grams MoO3/m2; and (f) an average particle size diameter of less than 2.0 mm. 8. The process of claim 7 wherein: (a) the MoO3 concentration is about 4 to about 10 wt. %; (b) the CoO concentration is about 0.5 to about 5.5 wt. %; (c) the Co/Mo atomic ratio is about 0.20 to about 0.80; (d) the median pore diameter is 75 Å to about 175 Å; e) the MoO3 surface concentration is about 0.75��10-4 to about 2.5��10-4 grams MoO3/m2; and (f) the average particle size diameter is less than about 1.6 mm. 9. The process of claim 5 wherein the catalyst for said hydrodesulfurization stage is characterized by the properties: (a) a MoO3 concentration of about 2 to about 18 wt. %; (b) a CoO concentration of about 0.1 to about 6 wt. %; both weight percents based on the total weight of the catalyst; (c) a Co/Mo atomic ratio of about 0.1 to about 1.0; (d) a median pore diameter of about 60 Å to about 200 Å; (e) a MoO3 surface concentration of about 0.5��10-4 to about 3��10-4 grams MoO3m2; and (f) an average particle size diameter of less than 2.0 mm.
