Developments in mercury removal from natural Gas-A short review

Almost all hydrocarbons contain mercury up to different levels depending upon the locality and region. In the case of natural gas and natural gas liquids, it is likely to be present as elemental mercury. However in crude oil, it may also be present as organo-metallic and ionic mercury. The presence...
