Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a method which can efficiently adsorb and remove ionic mercury and/or organic mercury contained in a hydrocarbon oil for a long period of time. The method involves bringing the hydrocarbon oil into contact with an adsorbent containing a layered silicate mineral having an interlayer charge of 0 or an interlayer charge of greater than 0 to 0.6 or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method for adsorbing and removing ionic mercury and/or organic mercury in a hydrocarbon oil, comprising bringing the hydrocarbon oil into contact with an adsorbent containing a layered silicate mineral having an interlayer charge of 0 or an interlayer charge of greater than 0 to 0.6 or less. 2 . A method for adsorbing and removing ionic mercury and/or organic mercury in hydrocarbon oil, comprising bringing the hydrocarbon oil into contact with an adsorbent containing a layered silicate mineral having an interlayer charge of 0 or an interlayer charge of greater than 0 to 0.6 or less and an adsorbent containing an activated carbon and/or a metal sulfide. 3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein said layered silicate mineral having an interlayer charge of 0 is lizardite, amesite, chrysotile, kaolinite, dickite, halloysite, talc or pyrophyllite. 4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein said layered silicate mineral having an interlayer charge of greater than 0 to 0.6 or less is smectite, saponite, hectorite, montmorillonite or beidellite. 5 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein said layered silicate mineral having an interlayer charge of 0 is lizardite, amesite, chrysotile, kaolinite, dickite, halloysite, talc or pyrophyllite. 6 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein said layered silicate mineral having an interlayer charge of greater than 0 to 0.6 or less is smectite, saponite, hectorite, montmorillonite or beidellite.
