Each application is incorporated by reference in their entirety herein.The disclosure generally relates to methods of removing contaminants from hydrocarbon streams.Mercaptans, or thiols, are sulfur analogs of alcohols. Though similar in molecular structure, the presence of sulfur instead of oxygen elicits many differences. Mercaptans are more odorous, with a stronger and repulsive smell in mercaptans with lower molecular weights. Mercaptans are responsible for a number of wine faults caused by unintended reactions between sulfur and yeast and for the “skunky” odor of beer after it has been exposed to light. Mercaptans are often used as odorants to assist in the detection of natural gas ( ...

The present process invention in continuation to the U.S. Ser. No. 14/392,066 appertains to Advanced Combustion in post-combustion carbon capture, wherein the CO-containing flue gas, said CO2-Stream, is cleaned from harmful constituents, recirculated, oxygenized and employed for combustion for the fossil fuels, referred to Flue Gas Oxy-Fueling in order to obtain a CO-rich gas upstream to CO2-CC with significantly less gas flow rate subject to further processing. This continuation process patent also presents processing to prepare a CO-rich CO2-Stream for the pre-combustion carbon capture downstream of gasification and gas cleaning process; or from the secondary CO2-Stream that stems from the cathodic syngas [CO/2H] downstream of HPLTE-SG of patent parent, then downstream of the HP/IP-water shift converters in [CO/3H] composition, whereas the CO-rich CO2-Stream from either pre-combustion process is routed to the CO2-CC for COcooling and condensation section of the U.S. Ser. No. 14/392,066 to obtain liquid carbon dioxide for re-use as new fossil energy resource. 611234681120. The process for post-combustion carbon dioxide capture and re-use of that captured liquid carbon dioxide to syngas and oxygen out of a CO-lean CO2-Stream (i.e. in this case the flue gas of a fossil fueled power plant) according to the claims of , , , , , , and , wherein the CO2-Stream of present process invention is further characterized by the enhancement in COconcentration through the recirculation of a portion of the CO-rich CO2-Stream back to the combustion section and/or the HRSG section of the plant at one side , while the other portion of that said CO2-Stream is discharged to further processing for COcondensation from that CO-rich CO2-Stream in the CO2-CC section , whereas the circulated CO2-Stream and respectively it's discharge portion upstream of the CO2-CC section reaches a COconcentration between 60% to 95% by volume with the remaining portion of that said CO02-stream consisting ...

Compositions and methods of preparing the compositions are disclosed for sorbents and other surfaces that can adsorb and desorb carbon dioxide. A sorbent or surface can include a metal compound such as an alkali or alkaline earth compound and a support. The sorbent can be prepared by several methods, including an incipient wetness technique. The sorbents have a COadsorption and desorption profile. A sorbent having high levels of a metal compound and adsorbed COis disclosed.
