Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH01231920A] PURPOSE: To efficiently eliminate Hg in a hydrocarbon charge by bringing a mixture composed of H2 and the charge into contact with a catalyst contg. one of Ni, Co, Fe and Pd, then with a capture mass contg. S or metal fluoride. CONSTITUTION: The mixture composed of H2 and the charge, such as Hg-contg. hydrocarbon, is brought into contact with the catalyst contg. at least one metal of the group consisting of the Ni, Co, Fe and Pd and is then brought into contact with the capture mass contg. the S or the metal fluoride, such as CuS, by which the Hg is eliminated. The capture mass prepd. by depositing the S or the metal fluoride on a carrier consisting of alumina, active carbon or the like is usable as the capture mass. The catalyst and the capture mass may be used as a mixture and the As may be simultaneously removed in addition to the Hg.
