Abstract
The invention is directed to utilization of a series of cross-linked 1,4-benzenediamine-co-alkyldiamine polymers and the use of the polymers to remove mercury from a hydrocarbon in fluid form.
Claims11
An apparatus for reducing content of mercury in a fluid hydrocarbon, comprising:
- a container with a fluid hydrocarbon inlet and a fluid hydrocarbon outlet,
- wherein the container defines a space that contains at least one 1,4-benzenediamine-co-alkyldiamine polymer and the fluid hydrocarbon.
