patent summary: "method for naphthalene removal". The present invention relates to the field of hydrocarbon production by gasification of carbonaceous material. more specifically, it discloses a method for removing naphthalene from a gas using a solid adsorbent material comprising benzene for removal. the removal may be applied for example a main stream of raw synthesis gas and / or an exhaust secondary stream. preferably the adsorption to the adsorbent material is reversible so that the material can be reused and naphthalene and possibly benzene recovered after regeneration. |
