Abstract: Disclosed is a process comprising: step a) contacting a feed stream comprising a contaminant with an absorbent stream in a counter-current flow to produce a contaminant depleted product stream depleted in the molar quantity of the contaminant relative to the molar quantity of said contaminant in the feed stream, and a contaminant enriched absorbent stream enriched in the molar quantity of the contaminant relative to the molar quantity of said contaminant in the absorbent stream; and step b) treating the contaminant enriched absorbent stream to form a gaseous stream comprising said contaminant and a regenerated absorbent stream lean in the molar quantity of said contaminant relative to the molar quantity of said contaminant in the contaminant enriched absorbent stream; herein said absorbent stream comprises at least 15 wt. % of at least one compound (A) of general formula (I) or a mixture (M) comprising at least one compound (B) of general formula (II) and at least one compound (C) of general formula (III).

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for deacidising a non-aqueous feed comprising one of H2S, CO2, COS, CS2, disulphides and/or mercaptans, comprising a. an absorption step contacting the feed in countercurrent with an aqueous absorbent solution, forming a product reduced in the acid compounds and a liquid absorbent solution enriched with acid compounds, b. a regeneration step treating the enriched solution from step a) to release acid compound, thereby forming a lean absorbent solution and a stream containing the acid compound, and c. recycling at least part of the lean solution from step b) to step a), characterised in that step a) is performed at a pressure of at least 5.
