N2 - The presence of elemental mercury in wellhead natural gas is an important industrial problem as even low levels of mercury can damage cryogenic aluminum heat exchangers and other plant equipment. Mercury present in the natural gas stream will also dramatically shorten the useful life of many precious metal catalysts. The present work focus on development of high efficient metal sulfide based adsorbents for mercury removal application in gas processing as well as refining operations, through preparation techniques that offer high activity and low pressure drop. The adsorbents were tested in bench scale setup for mercury adsorption capacity in a simulated environment mimicking plant conditions. The results show that a good improvement toward mercury adsorption capacity compared to its counter parts.
