Journal ArticleDOI
Dealing with fuel contaminants in biogas-fed solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) plants: Degradation of catalytic and electro-catalytic active surfaces and related gas purification methods
Andrea Lanzini,Hossein Madi,V. Chiodo,Davide Papurello,Susanna Maisano,Massimo Santarelli,Jan Van herle +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the complex matrix (typology and amount) of different contaminants that is found in different biogas types (anaerobic digestion gas and landfill gas) and analyzed the impact of contaminants on the fuel reformer and the SOFC stack to identify the threshold limits of the fuel cell system towards specific contaminants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous methylmercaptan and hydrogen sulfide removal in the desulfurization of biogas in aerobic and anoxic biotrickling filters
Andrea M. Montebello,Maikel Fernández,Fernando Almenglo,Martín Ramírez,Domingo Cantero,Mireia Baeza,David Gabriel +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of CH 3 SH loading rate (LR) on H 2 S and methylmercaptan removal was investigated in two biotrickling filters, one operated under aerobic conditions and the other one under anoxic conditions.

Toxicity of the effluent from an anaerobic bioreactor treating cereal residues on Lactuca sativa.
Brian Jonathan Young,Nicolás Iván Riera,María Eugenia Beily,Patricia Alina Bres,Diana C. Crespo,Alicia Estela Ronco +5 more
TL;DR: The use of the seed toxicity test allows evaluating the quality and effectiveness of the studied effluent treatment system, and the decrease in the organic and inorganic loads was correlated with a reduction in the phytotoxicity.

Biogas Production from Algae and Cyanobacteria Through Anaerobic Digestion: A Review, Analysis, and Research Needs
Pavlo Bohutskyi,Edward J. Bouwer +1 more
TL;DR: The research opportunities include a variety of engineering and scientific tasks, such as design of systems for algae cultivation and anaerobic digestion; optimization of algae cultivation in wastewater, nutrients recycling and algal concentration; enhancement of algal biomass digestibility and conversion rate by pretreatment; deep integration with other technological processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current status, hurdles and future prospects of biogas digestion technology in Africa
TL;DR: Anaerobic digestion of organic wastes results in the production of biogas and a nutrient-rich digestate as mentioned in this paper, which can be used for the provision of heat and light and can even be converted to electricity.

Trace organic compounds in landfill gas at seven U.K. waste disposal sites
TL;DR: The trace volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in landfill gas were examined at seven U.K. waste disposal facilities and over 140 compounds were identified, of which more than 90 were common to all seven sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of Siloxanes and VOC in Landfill Gas and Sewage Gas by Canister Sampling and GC-MS/AES Analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a new technique for sampling, identification, and quantification of siloxanes and volatile organic carbon (VOC) in landfill gas and sewage gas is presented, after sample collection using evacuated stainless steel canisters biogas was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/atomic emission spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Landfill Gas Composition at the Fresh Kills Municipal Solid-Waste Landfill
TL;DR: In this article, the average total nonmethane organic compound (NMOC) value for the Fresh Kills landfill was 438 ppmv (as hexane) versus the regulatory default value of 4000 ppmv( as hexane). Over 70 individual volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were detected and quantified in the landfill gas samples.

Attenuation of methane and volatile organic compounds in landfill soil covers
TL;DR: Mass balance calculations using the maximal oxidation rates obtained demonstrated that landfill soil covers have a significant potential for not only methane oxidation but also cometabolic degradation of selected volatile organics, thereby reducing emissions to the atmosphere.
