1. In a process for the elimination of mercury present in a gas or liquid comprising contacting the liquid or gas with an absorption mass in a fixed bed, the improvement wherein the absorption mass consists essentially of:
- (a) a solid dispersant or support selected from the group formed by silica, alumina, silica-alumina, silicates, aluminates and silico-aluminates,(b) copper whereof at least 30% is in the sulphide state and wherein the copper sulphide proportion in the absorption mass, calculated as copper, represents 2 to 65% of the weight of the mass, and(c) 0-5% of silver in the sulfide state.
