METHOD OF ENHANCING REMOVAL OF GASEOUS CONTAMINANTS FROM A FEEDSTREAM IN A TREATMENT CHAMBER HAVING LIQUID MEDIUM

摘要

Contaminants, such as volatile organic compounds and hydrogen sulfide, may be removed from a gaseous feedstream by introducing the gaseous feedstream into a treatment chamber containing a liquid medium comprising a hydrogen sulfide or mercaptan scavenger or a blend comprising (i) an absorbent and (ii) a glycol ether and/or C6-C18 alcohol, wherein the glycol ether and/or alcohol enhances the solubility of the contaminant in the absorbent.
