An absorbent liquid having an improved absorption capacity for acidic gaseous compounds due to the presence of an activator of tertiary alkanolamines. The activator is butylmonoethanolamine (BMEA). A process utilizing the absorbent liquid to remove acidic gaseous compounds from a gas.

Liquid absorbent for acidic gases and process of deacidification of a gas

An absorbent liquid for improved absorption capacity for CO.sub.2 in a gas due to the presence of an activator for CO.sub.2 absorbent from the gas, the absorption liquid comprising a mixture of one or more tertiary alkanolamines and an activator of CO.sub.2 absorption by the tertiary alkanolamine, which activator has the general formula Y--(CpH.sub.2p)--NHZ wherein Y is a monovalent radical selected from the group consisting of piperazyl, piperidinyl, furyl, tetrahy-drothienyl and --OR.sub.2 radicals, Z is an R.sub.2 radical or hydrogen, R.sub.2 is a monovalent hydrocarbon residue, and p is an integer from 1 to 6. Also a process for using such absorbent liquid for improved CO.sub.2 absorption from a gas.

Liquid absorbing acidic gases and use thereof in diacidification of gases

Liquid absorbing acid gas compounds presenting an improved CO.sub.2 absorption capacity, said absorbing liquid containing one or a plurality of tertiary alkanolamines and a CO.sub.2 absorption activator. The activator is comprised of at least one amino compound selected among polyalkylene-polyamines, alkylenediamines or cycloalkylenediamines, the aminoalkylated compounds of heterocycles such as piperazine, piperidine, furan, thiophene, tetrahydrofuran and tetrahydrothiophene, the alkoxyalkylamines and the alkylmono-alkanolamines having an alkyl residue in at least C.sub.2. Application of said absorbent liquid to the deacidification of gases containing CO.sub.2 and optionally other acid gas compounds, particularly H.sub.2 S and/or COS.

Liquid absorbing acidic gases and use thereof of in deacidification of

Process and device for selective extraction of H.sub.2 S from an H.sub.2

Improvement in the enrichment of a gas in hydrogen sulphide, comprising selective absorption by a liquid in a primary absorption zone, regeneration of the liquid by heating and/or stripping by an inert gas with liberation of the gases absorbed and recovery of a fraction of the liberated gases, the remainder being subjected to a second absorption in a secondary absorption zone by a new or regenerated absorbent liquid identical with that used in the primary absorption zone; in one and the same zone of operation, common to the regeneration and the secondary absorption zones, there occur simultaneously: arrival of the liquid from the first absorption, movement of the gases liberated during regeneration, flow of the liquid derived from the secondary absorption and discharge of a fraction of the liberated gases enriched in H.sub.2 S.

Enrichment in hydrogen sulphide of gases containing it

The present invention is related to a process for absorbing acid gases from industrial gaseous mixtures by washing under pressure with a solvent. The invention is concerned more particularly with the use of hexamethyl phosphorotriamide OP[N(CH.sub.3).sub.2 ].sub.3, pure or mixed with water, as a physical solvent of acid gases. This new physical solvent is of particular interest in the treatment of natural acid gases and refinery gases.

Physical solvent absorption of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide for

H.sub.2 S is removed from gas containing CO.sub.2 by a thioether, thioamide or alkyl thiocarbonate solvent.
