Abstract
The alkanolpyridines, as physical solvents, compare favorably, as a family, with sulfolane in their absorption of hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans. The data show absorption differences of the alkanolpyridines diluted with water, as compared with the alkanolpyridines mixed with amine. Both sets of data indicate an absorption performance substantially equal to, or better than, the performance of sulfolane. The chemical structure of pyridine is shown below. This structure is shown with the understanding that the alkanolpyridines would have the propanol or carbinol radicals, which are also shown, or other alkanol radicals substituted at the 2, 3 or 4 position. ##STR1##
