FIELD: gas treatment. SUBSTANCE: gas containing CO2 and liquid hydrocarbons in amounts more than 14 l per 106 cu.m gas is brought into interaction, in absorption zone, with liquid absorbent consisting of aqueous solution of methyldiethanolamine and activator, in particular aminoalkylethanolamine, to give treated gas with reduced content of CO2 and CO2-saturated absorbent. The latter is subjected to regenerative treatment to release fixed CO2 thereby giving CO2-rich gas fraction and regenerated readyto-reuse liquid absorbent. Hydrogen sulfide-containing natural gas can also be treated. EFFECT: enhanced carbon dioxide removal efficiency. 16 cl, 1 tbl
