Purification process

摘要

A process for removing at least a substantial portion of at least one contaminant from a fluid containing said at least one contaminant and at least one dehydration sensitive compound without causing substantial dehydration of said dehydration sensitive compound, said at least one contaminant being selected from the group consisting of water and nitrogen compounds having the formula XNH2 wherein X is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and linear alkyl radicals having 1 to 22 carbon atoms; which comprises contacting said fluid with a suitable base treated molecular sieve having an effective pore diameter in the range of about 2 to about 6 Angstrom units.
