Hydrocarbon feeds are treated to remove sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen, metals and/or other impurities by contact with treating gas comprising carbon monoxide and water under reaction conditions in the presence of catalysts having shift and hydrogenating activity as well as improved steam stability. The catalysts comprise (1) a metallic component having shift and hydrogenating activity, (2) a support component comprising activated alumina and (3) a steam stabilizing phosphorus component. |
