Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for purifying a feed gas stream at a pressure of> 3 bars comprising at least 1% by volume of oxygen (O2) and at least 75% by volume of CO2 and mercury. , allowing the elimination of mercury.
  • mercury pollution is known. Indeed, mercury is a toxic element. In humans, exposure to mercury can lead to neurological and developmental disorders.
  • US 4,909,926 discloses a method for capturing mercury in a hydrocarbon stream.
  • the materials cited include Ag and CuS, the supports being alumina or SiO 2 .
  • the regeneration is carried out with an oxygen-containing gas and purging oxygen before returning to service. It is stated in this document that this purge must be done at high temperature to prevent the formation of oxide.
  • the process can be applied in the presence of hydrocarbons, hydrogen, H 2 S, N 2 , H 2 O and CO 2 .
  • Oxygen is effectively described as a regenerative agent, thus desorption of mercury and at low temperature as oxidant and deactivating agent. From there, a problem arises to provide an improved process for purifying a gas stream containing CO 2 , at least 1% oxygen and mercury, so as to obtain a depleted mercury gas.
  • a solution of the invention is a process for purifying a flow of feed gas at a pressure of> 3 bar, comprising at least 1% by volume of oxygen (O 2 ) and at least 75% by volume of CO 2 and mercury, characterized in that it comprises a purification step by adsorption, carried out at a temperature ⁇ 120 ° C., and in which at least one embodiment is used.
  • a fixed bed of adsorbents containing a sulfur and / or silver adsorbent so as to at least partially remove the mercury.
  • the process according to the invention may have one of the following characteristics: the flow of feed gas comprises between 1 and 6% by volume of oxygen;
  • the feed gas stream comprises up to 5000ppm NOx and / or SOx volume, preferably less than 1000 ppm, more preferably less than 100 ppm;
  • the sulfur and / or silver adsorbent comprises an organic or inorganic support; the organic support is activated carbon;
  • the inorganic support is chosen from the group comprising porous glasses and silica, alumina, silica-alumina, silicates, aluminates and silico-aluminates;
  • a dispersant or a solid support selected from the group comprising silica, porous glass, alumina, silica-alumina, silicates, aluminates and silico-aluminates,
  • Porous glass is a chemically inert material, particularly resistant to bases and acids, and has good physical characteristics (crushing, attrition).
  • SiO 2 consists essentially of SiO 2, generally> 90% by weight, preferably> 95% and may contain a minor extent B2O3, Na 2 O, Al2O3, ZrO 2 and / or other metal oxides.
  • VYCOR Porous Porous Glass 7930 from Corning Incorporated, which has a 28% porous volume, 250 m / g internal surface area, and a mean pore diameter of 40 A (4 nanometers).
  • the support of the active compound based on metal may be activated carbon, alumina, silica, silica-alumina silicates, aluminates, silico-aluminates.
  • mercury removal can be carried out in a single adsorber or for example in two adsorbers in series.
  • the adsorbent charge installed will preferably operate without intervention for a minimum of 6 months. In the case of adsorbers in series, it is possible to renew the charges by half. The new load is then used downstream of the load remaining in service ...
  • the polluted charge of mercury can be regenerated in situ.
  • the adsorption purification step may comprise other adsorption purification processes than the mercury alone. It may be the stopping of other heavy metals such as arsenic. In this case, a second adequate bed for this stop will be placed downstream or upstream of the bed for stopping the mercury. It is also conceivable a mixture, homogeneous or not, of different adsorbents, at least one corresponding to the cessation of mercury. One and the same product can also be used for mercury and other heavy metals.
  • the purification step may comprise a drying of the feed gas upstream or downstream of the demercurization.
