Process for removing metals from hydrocarbons |
摘要 |
The present invention relates to a process for the removal of mercury from a mercury-containing hydrocarbon fluid feed using specifically selected ionic liquids comprising, contacting the mercury-containing hydrocarbon fluid feed with an ionic liquid having the formula [Cat+][M+][X−] and separating from the ionic liquid a hydrocarbon fluid product having a reduced mercury content compared to the mercury-containing fluid feed. |

1. A process for the removal of mercury from a mercury-containing hydrocarbon fluid feed, the process comprising the steps of:
(i) contacting the mercury-containing hydrocarbon fluid feed with an ionic liquid having the formula:
[Cat+][M+][X−] wherein: [Cat+] represents one or more organic cationic species,
[M+] represents one or more metal cations selected from transition metal cations having an oxidation state of +2 or greater,[X−] represents one or more anionic species; and (ii) separating from the ionic liquid a hydrocarbon fluid product having a reduced mercury content compared to the mercury-containing fluid feed. |
