Abstract The biological removal of hydrogen sulfide in biogas is an increasingly adopted alternative to conventional physicochemical processes because its economic and environmental benefits. In this study, a real-scale biotrickling filtration (BTF) process packed with polypropylene carrier was used investigate the high concentrations H2S from anaerobic digester. results show that entirely remo...

The removal of H2S in high performance biotrickling filters was investigated using a differential biotrickling filter. The differential biotrickling filter was designed to reach high gas velocities through a minature packed bed, in this case a single 4-cm open-pore polyurethane foam cube. External mass transfer was limiting below air velocities of 3000–4000 m h−1, with possible other parameters...

This study reviews the available and most commonly used methods of gas deodorization. Comparing various odor removal, undoubtedly biological pollution degradation have an advantage over others—chemical physical. is manifestedmainly in ecological economic terms. The possibility using to remove H2S NH3, as common emitted by municipal sector companies, was analyzed terms their removal efficiency. ...

Understanding the mechanistic controls of microbial denitrification is of central importance to both environmental microbiology and ecosystem ecology. Loss of nitrate (NO3) is often attributed to carbon-driven (heterotrophic) denitrification. However, denitrification can also be coupled to sulfur (S) oxidation by chemolithoautotrophic bacteria. In the present study, we used an in situ stable is...

We have previously reported that bradykinin relaxes the fetal ductus arteriosus via endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) when other naturally occurring relaxants (prostaglandin E2, nitric oxide, and carbon monoxide) are suppressed, but the identity of the agent could not be ascertained. Here, we have examined in the mouse whether hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a relaxant of the ductus a...

Gas sweetening, the removal of acid gases (H2S and CO2) by absorption in aqueous alkanolamine solutions, is an important gas treatment operation. Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) is widely employed for gas sweetening, because of its high absorption capacity and flexibility to meet process requirements. For process simulation or design, realistic predictions of acid gas solubilities in MDEA solutions...
