Abstract

Biogas as one of the renewable energy sources contains hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) which causes equipment corrosion and gives negative impacts on the environment. To study some factors that affect the H2S removal efficiency, evaluation was done on the performance of existing H2S scrubber. For the case study, it was found that the existing scrubber performance did not reach the target (< 200 ppm-v H2S) with 1,450 Nm3 biogas/h and 2,550 ppm-v H2S inlet (-10 mbarg and 35oC). Scenarios were made by varying the design parameters of the H2S outlet scrubber (0 - 1,140 ppm-v), H2S inlet scrubber (2,550 and 3,000 ppm-v), and biogas flow (1,450 and 1,700 Nm3 biogas/h). Based on the analysis results, it was found that the initial design had already considered an overdesign factor of at least 52 times. Through solubility and residence time analysis, favorable scrubber operation is to run at low liquid spray flow (~ 70 m3/h). In addition, low flow liquid spray could help activate the bacteria on the bio-packing media surfaces so that they are not eroded by the high erosive spray velocity. This study’s results are expected to be a reference for the biogas industry in evaluating the performance of H2S scrubbers.

Abstract

The recalcitrant structure of lignocellulosic biomass necessitates efficient pretreatment strategies to enhance enzymatic saccharification for biofuel production. This study investigates a synergistic approach combining ultrasound irradiation with magnetic Fe₃O₄ for pretreating rice straw. A 2² factorial experimental design was employed to systematically evaluate the individual and combined effects of ultrasound (300 W, 30 min) and Fe₃O₄ addition (1.5 wt%). The combined treatment exhibited a pronounced synergistic effect, achieving 68.3% delignification and reducing the crystallinity index from 52.4% to 31.2%. These structural modifications resulted in a saccharification yield of 72.5%, which was significantly higher than the theoretical additive yield of 48.7% (raw: 18.5%, Fe₃O₄-only: 26.0%, ultrasound-only: 41.2%). SEM observations revealed extensive surface erosion, pore formation, and microfibril exposure after the combined pretreatment, while FTIR analysis confirmed substantial lignin removal. Furthermore, magnetic Fe₃O₄ demonstrated excellent magnetic separability, with a recovery efficiency higher than 95%, and maintained pretreatment performance over five reuse cycles with < 8% reduction in efficacy. Overall, this work presents a green, efficient, and economically promising pretreatment strategy based on synergistic ultrasound–magnetic Fe₃O₄ interactions, offering an effective pathway for enhancing lignocellulosic biomass saccharification and supporting the development of sustainable biorefinery processes.
