Problems solved by technology

[0022] In addition, capture blocks based on sulfur deposited on activated carbon very often suffer from stability problems under wet conditions, since active phases can be entrained in the presence of water or liquid hydrocarbons.
This property, linked to the weak energy interaction existing between the active phase and the surface of the activated carbon and the solubility of sulfur in this medium, leads to a drastic reduction in the service life of the capture block

Abstract

The present invention concerns the elimination of heavy metals, in particular mercury and possibly arsenic and lead, present in a dry or moist gaseous effluent (1) by means of a capture mass (2) comprising a porous support at least part of which is of low mesoporosity and an active phase based on sulphur. The invention is advantageously applicable to the treatment of gas of industrial origin, synthesis gas or natural gas.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the removal of heavy metals, in particular mercury and possibly arsenic and lead, present in dry or wet gaseous effluents by means of a capture mass comprising at least a portion of a porous carrier, and an active phase based on elemental sulfur. The invention is advantageously applicable to the treatment of gases of industrial origin, synthesis gas or natural gas. Background technique [0002] Mercury is a metallic pollutant that is found in gaseous or liquid hydrocarbons produced in many regions of the world such as the Gulf of Niger, South America, North Africa or Asia Pacific. [0003] The removal of mercury from hydrocarbon cuts is industrially desirable for several reasons: [0004] · operator safety, as elemental mercury is volatile and presents a serious neurotoxic hazard due to inhalation, while organic forms of mercury present similar hazards due to skin contact; [0005] • And for reasons of preventing dea...
