First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for removing at least one contaminant selected from the group consisting of H2S and CO2 from above ground hydrocarbon streams, comprising the steps of:
- providing an above ground stream of hydrocarbon containing said at least one contaminant; and
positioning metal-containing nanoparticles having a particle size of less than or equal to about 100 nm in said above ground stream, said metal-containing nanoparticles being selected from the group consisting of metal oxides, metal hydroxides and combinations thereof, whereby said nanoparticles adsorb said at least one contaminant from said above ground stream.

Abstract
A method for removing at least one contaminant selected from the group consisting of H2S and CO2 from contaminating streams, including the steps of providing an above ground stream comprising hydrocarbon containing the at least one contaminant, and positioning metal-containing nanoparticles having a particle size of less than or equal to about 100 nm in the stream, the metal-containing nanoparticles being selected from the group consisting of metal oxides, metal hydroxides and combinations thereof, whereby the nanoparticles adsorb the contaminants from the stream.
