Biogas upgrading in Africa remains a huge challenge for producers of small installations due to the high cost of acquisition of all-in-one installations designed and used in developed countries. This study brings a clear idea on some purification methods accessible to these small producers while proposing those optimal for decarbonation and desulphurization of biogas. Starting from the analysis over time of the biogas resulting from the anaerobic digestion of cow dung, the system of NaOH filters and steel wool mounted in series is the one proposed for optimality (with purification capacities respective CO2 of the order of 95.9063 ± 0.0864 % and H2S of 100 %). Better still, the use of a steel wool filter in series with activated carbon (based on coconut shells or bamboo) makes it possible to increase the desulfurization capacity of the latter up to 100 %.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
