Abstract
The present work studied the simultaneous separation of H2S and CO2 from biogas by gas–liquid membrane contactor (GLMC) using single and mixed absorbents. The synthetic biogas contained 300 to 900 ppm of H2S, 30% to 50% CO2 and CH4. To better understand the effects of different absorbents on simultaneous separation of H2S and CO2 from biogas, water, monoethanolamine (MEA, primary amine), potassium carbonate (K2CO3, inorganic salt), potassium hydroxide (KOH, inorganic salt), and potassium sarcosine (PS, organic salt) were applied as absorbent solutions. Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) hollow fiber membrane was used in the membrane contactor modules. The simultaneous absorption performance of CO2 and H2S into single and mixed absorbents was investigated. In addition, the effects of liquid and gas velocities, absorbent concentration, acid gas content of the feed gas, and gas pressure on the absorption performance and the analysis of mass transfer coefficients were investigated. The results indicated that th...
