  • Method of removing mercury from hydrocarbon oils
    Patent number: 4986898
    Abstract: Trace amounts of mercury and its compounds present in hydrocarbon oil can be removed selectively and efficiently by bringing the hydrocarbon oils containing mercury and its compounds into contact with a certain treating agent after having heated such oils. Since the hydrocarbon oil from which mercury and its compounds have been removed does not contain catalyst poisons, such a hydrocarbon oil can be used extensively for catalytic reaction processes such as hydrogenation.
