— In our day, due to the both depletion of the reserves and
the significant environmental problems of fossil based fuels,
efforts to improve and smooth use of alternative energy sources
have gained momentum. The work on alternative energy sources
is mainly focused on the solar, wind and biogas fields and studies
have been carried out and being continued to carry out to develop
new systems and application methods in order to develop these
resources. Biogas, one of the alternative energy sources, is a gas
which is obtained by deterioration of biological wastes in a
anaerobic environment. The pollutants in the biogas can decrease
the lower heat value of the fuel and also cause corrosion and rust
in the equipment and components used. Therefore, before using
the biogas, it is necessary to remove contaminants in it. In this
performed study, biogas has been produced from animal waste by
co-fermentation method. In order to purify the pollutant gases in
the produced biogas content, the effect of granular slag (an iron
steel plant waste) in H2S removal from the biogas, has been
experimentally investigated for different flow rates. As a result of
the experiments, it was determined that the 198 ppm H2S value of
the biogas measured before entering the purification tower with
slag material was purified with a ratio of 76,8% and decreased to
46 ppm without methane loss.
