Publication number: 20150151237Abstract: A regenerable sorbent for the removal of acid gas from a fluid stream. The regenerable sorbent is made from raw materials such as iron mineral, expansive clay and starch. Acid gas is removed from the fluid stream by a process where the raw materials are obtained, crushed, sifted, possibly pelletized, calcined and contacted with the fluid stream containing the acid gas.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2015Publication date: June 4, 2015Applicant: INTEVEP, S.A.Inventors: Alfredo Viloria, Mônica Román, Marvin Ricaurte, Yanine Gonzaléz, Rafael Yoll, Marcos Rosa-Brussin
