The invention concerns novel polyamines having formula (I) obtained from the reaction between a polyol diglycidylether and piperazine: in which n is a whole number between 0 and 30, Rhas different forms, Rhas formula (g), and Rhas formula (g) when n=0  The invention also concerns their preparation method and their use in an absorbing solution based on amines in order to selectively eliminate HS from a gaseous effluent containing HS and CO.

Polyamines, synthesis process thereof and use of same for the selective elimination of HS from a gaseous effluent comprising CO

Method of decarbonating a hydrocarbon gas, a natural gas for example, by washing with a solvent. Said gas is contacted with an absorbent solution so as to obtain a CO-depleted gas and a CO-laden absorbent solution. The CO-laden absorbent solution is then heated and expanded at a predetermined pressure and temperature so as to release a hydrocarbon-containing gaseous fraction and to obtain a hydrocarbon-depleted absorbent solution, said pressure and temperature being so selected that said gaseous fraction comprises at least 50% of the hydrocarbons contained in said CO-laden absorbent solution and at most 35% of the COcontained in said CO-laden absorbent solution. Finally, the hydrocarbon-depleted absorbent solution is thermally regenerated so as to release a CO-rich gaseous effluent and to obtain a regenerated absorbent solution.
