  • Removal of mercury from gas streams using hydrogen sulfide and amines
    Patent number: 4044098
    Abstract: A process is provided in which a gas, particularly a sulfur-free natural gas, that contains mercury is contacted with an amount of hydrogen sulfide in excess of the stoichiometric amount of hydrogen sulfide necessary to precipitate sulfides of mercury with further contact with an amine that is an absorption agent for hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide precipitates sulfides of mercury from the gas stream while the amine absorbs the excess hydrogen sulfide to produce a gas stream of minimal sulfur content with a reduced mercury content that can be below the range of detection.
