Process for preparing particulate aluminum metal for adsorbing mercury from natural gas

Hydrocarbon gases containing trace quantities of mercury are treated to remove the mercury by contacting the gases with a porous bed of aluminum which has been activated by contacting it with an aqueous solution of a soluble mercuric salt and subsequent drying of the activated bed in a non-oxidizing...
