USE OF ALPHA-AMINO ETHERS FOR THE REMOVAL OF MERCAPTANS FROM HYDROCARBONS

The invention provides a method of removing mercaptans from hydrocarbon fluids. The method involves using an alpha-amino ether to scavenge the mercaptans. The scavenging reaction converts the mercaptans into a hydrocarbon soluble compound that mitigates the odor of the mercaptans.
