Abstract
The invention generally relate to processes, systems, and methods for the pyrolysis of hydrocarbon feeds containing one or more forms of mercury, e.g., the steam cracking of heavy oil, such as crude oil. Effluent from the pyrolysis is processed to remove various forms of mercury produced during the pyrolysis and/or carried over from the hydrocarbon feed.
