Biogas, H2S adsorption, utilizing solid waste, water treatment sludgeAbstract
In this study, waste sludge from different water treatment plants in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, was used as adsorbents for H2S filtration in biogas. The results of the experimental process showed that the sludge calcined at 200 °C then modified with Zn(NO3)2.6H2O could reach an H2S adsorption capacity of 235.54 mg/g with operating conditions at 1775±169 ppm of H2S inlet concentration, 5 g of adsorbent, and 1 L/min of flow rate. Under the best conditions, the maximum adsorption capacity estimated by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model can be up to 333.30 mg/g. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were the techniques used to determine material characteristics before and after adsorption. These results prove that sludge from wastewater treatment plants is a potential resource for the production of cheap but effective materials for environmental treatment.
