Abstract
The natural gas arriving through pipeis deacidified by being brought into contact with a solvent in column CThe solvent charged with acid compounds is regenerated in zone R. The purified gas evacuated by pipeincludes some of the solvent. The method enables the solvent contained in the purified gas to be extracted. In zone ZA, the purified gas is brought into contact with a non-aqueous ionic liquid whose general formula is QA, where Qdesignates an ammonium, phosphonium, and/or sulfonium cation, and Adesignates an anion able to form a liquid salt. The solvent-impoverished purified gas is evacuated through pipe. The ionic liquid charged with solvent is regenerated by heating in an evaporator DE. The solvents separated from the ionic liquid in evaporator DE are recycled.
