摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for removal of an organic amine from a hydrocarbon stream containing amine, comprising the steps of: reacting the amine of the hydrocarbon stream containing the amine with an acid, optionally extracting the amine-salt formed into an aqueous phase, and optionally recovering and recycling of the amine. The present invention also relates to a method for removal of an organic amine from a hydrocarbon stream containing the amine, comprising the steps: passing the hydrocarbon stream containing the amine to an ion exchange resin and loading the amine onto that resin, and optionally recovering and recycling of the amine. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for removal of an organic amine from a hydrocarbon stream containing the amine, comprising the steps: passing the hydrocarbon stream containing the amine through an adsorbing agent selected from the group of inorganic compounds, such as silica gel, alumina and molecular sieve, and optionally recovering and recycling of the amine.
