Abstract
Methods and apparatus for reducing moisture content of fluids comprising moisture and a sulfur-containing compound are disclosed. The methods use an acid gas resistant molecular sieve, and the sulfur-containing compounds are preferably selected from the group consisting of carbondisulfide, carbonylsulfide, and compounds within the formula Y—S—X , wherein S is sulfur, and X and Y are the same or different and are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, oxygen, and alcohol. Compositions comprising the reduced moisture fluids are also described.
