Abstract: The invention relates to a method for removing COS from a stream of hydrocarbon fluid containing COS, in particular, from a stream of gas, such as for example, natural gas, synthesis gas from heavy oil or heavy residues or refinery gas, or from liquid or liquefied hydrocarbons, such as for example, LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or NGL (Natural Gas Liquids) and to a wash liquid for use in methods of this type. The stream of fluid is brought into direct contact with the inventive wash fluid in an absorption or extraction zone. Said wash fluid consists of an aqueous amine solution which contains 1.5 to 5 moles/l of an aliphatic alkanolamine having between 2 and 12 C atoms and 0.4 to 1.7 moles/l of a primary or secondary amine as the activator. Substantially all of the COS is removed from the stream of fluid using the inventive amine wash. The stream of fluid which has been substantially cleaned of COS and the wash fluid which is loaded with COS are subsequently separated from one another and both fluids are fed out of the absorption or extraction zone. The wash fluid can subsequently be regenerated in the known manner and can be fed back to the absorption or extraction zone.
