    摘要: The disclosure includes a process for treating a natural gas containing carbon dioxide wherein the natural gas is separated by a cryogenic process in order to provide, on the one hand, a stream of liquid carbon dioxide, containing hydrocarbons, and, on the other hand, purified natural gas; at least one part of the natural gas is cooled in a first heat exchanger and then in a second heat exchanger before the cryogenic process and/or before a reflux to the cryogenic process; at least one part of the stream of liquid carbon dioxide is recovered in order to provide a stream of recycled carbon dioxide; the stream of recycled carbon dioxide is divided into a first portion and a second portion; the first portion is expanded and then heated in the first heat exchanger, in order to provide a first stream of heated carbon dioxide; the second portion is cooled, then at least one part of the second portion is expanded and then heated in the second heat exchanger, in order to provide a second stream of heated carbon dioxide; at least some of the hydrocarbons contained in the first stream of heated carbon dioxide and in the second stream of heated carbon dioxide are recovered by liquid/gas separation.
