Sulfur oxidizing bacterial biofilter for removal of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from biogas
Abstract:
Presence of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in biogas is a major problem for biogas utilization due to its corrosive property. H2S contamination can be removed by chemical and physical methods but both of them have high capital costs and demand large energy inputs. The biological process e.g. Biofilter can change biogas into noncorrosive form. Pollutants (e.g. H2S) are utilized by biofilm of microorganisms grown on packing material when contaminated gases stream pass through the filter bed. Many types of microorganisms, either autotrophic or heterotrophic, are capable of utilizing hydrogen sulfide for their growth. Sulfur oxidizing bacteria (SOB) convert hydrogen sulfide (H2S) into elemental sulfur (S0) by partial oxidation, or sulfate (SO42). Besides H2S. other sulfur compounds like thiosulfate (S2O32) and tetrathionate (S4O62) can also be converted to sulfate. In this study, Sulfur oxidizing bacteria isolated from Fang hot-spring in Chaingmai provice, from a bio-scrubber tank of cassava starch wastewater treatment plant at Saraburi provibnce and mixed culture of bio-scrubber effluent and hot-spring bacterial biofilm were determined for their hydrogen sulfide removal efficiency in he biofilter (PVC pipe; diameter 0.2 m, height 1.5 m) packed with plastic bio-ball (6.29 m2 surface area).
