Zusammenfassung: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. L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'éliminer des mercaptans contenus dans des fluides hydrocarbures. Le procédé consiste à utiliser un alpha-amino éther pour piéger les mercaptans. La réaction de piégeage convertit les mercaptans en composé soluble hydrocarbure atténuant l'odeur des mercaptans.
