“…In most cases, some conventional physical technologies are often unsatisfactory due to organic pollutants only being transferred from gaseous to other phases, and still not being fully destroyed; while chemical technologies are always expensive [11]. However, biological process has been found to be a very promising technology for the removal of odorous or toxic volatile organic compound waste gas because of low operating costs, low energy requirements as well as no by-products produced for further treatment or disposal [12,13]. For instance, no other by-product was detected except CO 2 , H 2 O and H 2 SO 4 in the acidophilic bacteria oxidizing CS 2 or mixtures of CS 2 and H 2 S system [14].…”

“…Biofilters and synthetic packing materials, in general, are known to have very long lifetimes of at least 10 years (van Groenestijn and Kraakman, 2005). However, clogging due to uncontrolled accumulation of biomass is a recurring problem in the operation of biofiltration that deteriorates biofilter function over time (Alonso et al, 1997;Cox and Deshusses, 2002).…”

The overall objective of this project, "Strategies to Optimize Microbially-Mediated Mitigation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Landfill Cover Soils" was to develop effective, efficient, and economic methodologies by which microbial production of nitrous oxide can be minimized while also maximizing microbial consumption of methane in landfill cover soils. A combination of laboratory and field site experiments found that the addition of nitrogen and phenylacetylene stimulated in situ methane oxidation while minimizing nitrous oxide production. Molecular analyses also indicated that methane-oxidizing bacteria may play a significant role in not only removing methane, but in nitrous oxide production as well, although the contribution of ammonia-oxidizing archaea to nitrous oxide production can not be excluded at this time. Future efforts to control both methane and nitrous oxide emissions from landfills as well as from other environments (e.g., agricultural soils) should consider these issues. Finally, a methanotrophic biofiltration system was designed and modeled for the promotion of methanotrophic activity in local methane "hotspots" such as landfills. Model results as well as economic analyses of these biofilters indicate that the use of methanotrophic biofilters for controlling methane emissions is technically feasible, and provided either the costs of biofilter construction and operation are reduced or the value of CO 2 credits is increased, can also be economically attractive. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTSABSTRACT 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 6

“…Currently the two most frequently used methods for reducing the amounts of H 2 S emitted are biological treatments and chemical scrubbing. 1 But there is an increasing body of research [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] devoted to investigate the ability of different materials to adsorb H 2 S. One set of studied materials is formed by Metal-Organic Frameworks 11,12 (MOFs), which have a wide range of properties in terms of adsorption, since they are structures with a variety of metal centres (Cu, Zn, Ti, etc), of pore sizes (large, medium or small) or even of framework flexibility. [13][14][15] In this study we will focus on the study of H 2 S adsorption on three well known MOFs, namely Cu-BTC, MIL-47, and IRMOF-1.…”

Adsorption of hydrogen sulphide on Metal-Organic Frameworks

Three new sets of interatomic potentials to model hydrogen sulphide (H 2 S) have been fitted. One of them is a 3-sites potential (which we named 3S) and the other two are 5-sites potentials (which we named 5S and 5Sd). The molecular dipole of the 3S and 5S potentials is 1.43 D, which is the value usually employed for H 2 S potentials, while the dipole of the 5Sd is the dipole measured experimentally for the H 2 S molecule, circa 0.974 D. The interatomic potentials parameters were obtained by fitting the experimental vapourliquid equilibrium, vapour pressure and liquid density curves. The potential parameters fitted so far for H 2 S have been obtained applying long-range corrections to the Lennard-Jones energy. For that reason, when a cut and shift of the Lennard-Jones potentials is applied they do not yield the correct results. We employed a cut and shift of the Lennard-Jones potentials in the fitting procedure, which facilitates the use of the new potentials to model H 2 S adsorption on systems such as Metal-Organics Frameworks (MOFs). We have employed the newly developed potentials to study the adsorption of H 2 S on Cu-BTC, MIL-47 and IRMOF-1 and the results agree with the available electronic structures calculations. All calculations (both quantum and interatomic potential-based) predict that H 2 S does not bind to the Cu atoms in Cu-BTC.
