    Abstract: A process for removing hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide from a fluid stream comprises a) an absorption step in which the fluid stream is contacted with an absorbent comprising an aqueous solution (i) of an amine of the general formula (I) in which R1, R2 and R3 are each independently selected from C1-4-alkyl and C1-4-hydroxyalkyl; each R4 is independently selected from hydrogen, C1-4-alkyl and C1-4-hydroxyalkyl; each R5 is independently selected from hydrogen, C1-4-alkyl and C1-4-hydroxyalkyl; X is OH or NH(CR1R2R3); m is 2, 3, 4 or 5; n is 2, 3, 4 or 5; and o is 0 or 1; and optionally (ii) at least one tertiary amine, where the molar ratio of (i) to (ii) is greater than 0.05; wherein at least 90% of the hydrogen sulfide is removed from the fluid stream and selectivity for hydrogen sulfide over carbon dioxide is not greater than 8, wherein a CO2— and H2S-laden absorbent is obtained; b) a regeneration step in which at least a substream of the CO2— and H2S-laden absorbent is regenerated and a regenerated absorbent is obtained; and c) a recycling step in which at least a substream of the regenerated absorbent is recycled into the absorption step a). The process allows a high level of hydrogen sulfide removal with a simultaneously high coabsorption of carbon dioxide.

    Abstract: An absorbent for selective removal of hydrogen sulfide from a fluid stream comprises an aqueous solution of a) a tertiary amine, b) a sterically hindered secondary amine of the general formula (I) in which R1 and R2 are each independently selected from C1-4-alkyl and C1-4-hydroxyalkyl; R3, R4, R5 and R6 are each independently selected from hydrogen, C1-4-alkyl and C1-4-hydroxyalkyl, with the proviso that at least one R4 and/or R5 radical on the carbon atom bonded directly to the nitrogen atom is C1-4-alkyl or C1-4-hydroxyalkyl when R3 is hydrogen; x and y are integers from 2 to 4 and z is an integer from 1 to 4; where the molar ratio of b) to a) is in the range from 0.05 to 1.0, and c) an acid in an amount, calculated as neutralization equivalent relative to the protonatable nitrogen atoms in a) and b), of 0.05 to 15.0%. One preferred amine of the formula I is 2-(2-tert-butylaminoethoxy)ethanol. The absorbent allows a defined H2S selectivity to be set at pressures of the kind typical in natural gas processing.
