Abstract
A method for producing a hydrocarbon product from a hydrocarbon mixture containing at least 1 ppm of organically bound halogen includes providing the hydrocarbon mixture containing at least 1 ppm of organically bound halogen, heating the hydrocarbon mixture in order to obtain a gaseous hydrocarbon stream, bringing the gaseous hydrocarbon stream into contact with a composition containing at least one nitrogen compound in order to obtain a gaseous mixture, as a result of which organically bound halogen is converted into halide ions, and separating the halide ions in order to obtain the hydrocarbon product.

A method for producing a hydrocarbon product from a hydrocarbon mixture containing at least 1 ppm of organically bound halogen, the method comprising:
- providing the hydrocarbon mixture containing at least 1 ppm of organically bound halogen;
- heating the hydrocarbon mixture in order to obtain a gaseous hydrocarbon stream;
- bringing the gaseous hydrocarbon stream into contact with a composition containing at least one nucleophilic nitrogen compound in order to obtain a gaseous mixture, as a result of which organically bound halogen is converted into halide ions, wherein a mass ratio between the gaseous hydrocarbon stream and the composition containing the at least one nucleophilic nitrogen compound is at least 5:1, wherein a temperature of the gaseous hydrocarbon stream when brought into contact is at least 150° C. and wherein a temperature of the obtained gaseous mixture is at least 150° C.;
- and
- separating the halide ions in order to obtain the hydrocarbon product.
