  • Publication number: 20170320008
    Abstract: A process for selectively removing hydrogen sulphide relative to carbon dioxide from a gaseous mixture containing at least hydrogen sulphide H2S and carbon dioxide CO2, includes a step of contacting the gaseous mixture with an absorbent solution including at least one amine, water, and at least one C2 to C4 thioalkanol. A use of the absorbent solution for selectively removing hydrogen sulphide relative to carbon dioxide from a gaseous mixture containing at least hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide, is disclosed. Disclosed is a use of at least one C2 to C4 thioalkanol as an additive in an absorbent solution including at least one amine, and water, for increasing the selectivity of the absorbent solution for the removal of hydrogen sulphide relative to carbon dioxide from a gaseous mixture containing at least hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide.

  • Patent number: 6290754
    Abstract: A regenerative process for deacidification of a gas containing CO2 and liquid hydrocarbons including contacting the gas to be treated, in an absorption zone, with an absorbent liquid including methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and an accelerator of absorption of CO2 by the amine, thereby producing a treated gas with reduced CO2 content and an absorbent liquid loaded with CO2, subjecting the loaded absorbent liquid to a regeneration treatment to release CO2 which it has bound, to produce 1) at least one acid gas fraction rich in CO2 and 2) at least one regenerated absorbent liquid; and recycling into the absorption zone the at least one regenerated absorbent liquid, wherein the overall liquid hydrocarbon content in the gas to be deacidified containing CO2 is greater than 14 liters of liquid hydrocarbons per million standard cubic meters of gas, and the activator combined with methyldiethanolamine in the absorbent liquid brought into contact with the gas containing CO2 and liquid hydrocarbons consists of at least one
