1. An adsorbent for removing carbonyl sulfide contained in a stream containing an olefin, the adsorbent comprising:
copper oxide; and
an aluminum compound, wherein
the aluminum compound is at least one selected from aluminum hydroxide and aluminum oxide, wherein a crystal structure of the aluminum hydroxide is pseudo-boehmite and a crystal structure of the aluminum oxide is at least one crystal structure selected from the group consisting of χ and ρ,
a content of the aluminum compound is in a range from 10 mass % to 50 mass % in terms of Al,
a molar ratio (Cu/Al) of copper to aluminum is in a range from 0.5 to less than 1,
the adsorbent has an NH3 desorption as calculated based on a temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia in a temperature region ranging from 100 degrees C. to 200 degrees C. in a range from more than 0.001 mmol/g to 1 mmol/g or less, and
the adsorbent comprises less than 1 mass % of a component containing a transition metal other than copper.
