Biogas generated during the anaerobic digestion of piggery wastes is considered as one of the renewable energy sources. This biogas is methane-rich, based on a typical composition of 60 -70 % methane (CH 4 ). However, trace amounts of undesirable compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) is also present, which hinder their use as it is very toxic and corrode the equipment. In this study, a lab-scale adsorption system was conducted to removal H 2 S from biogas collected at Thanh Hung pig farm (Thanh Oai district, Hanoi). The initial biogas contained high CH 4 concentration of 72 %, and the H 2 S concentration was about 1995 ppm. The iron-based adsorbent (FeOOH) with the particle size of 0.50-1.18 mm was used for H 2 S purification. The system was operated continuously at various biogas flow rates from 0.5 to 3 L/min. Breakpoint of FeOOH appeared after 1,038 min. The adsorption capacity was estimated up to 0.18 g H 2 S/g FeOOH. A longer empty bed contact time increased the amount of H 2 S that was adsorbed up until the time of breakpoint. During operation, the temperature in the air and in biogas was varied insignificantly in the range of 29 to 32 o C. However, the humidity was much different between in the ambient air (56 %) and in biogas (87 %). In conclusion, FeOOH has high capacity for H 2 S purification to produce high quality purified biogas with H 2 S concentration of below 100 ppm which could be used for electrical generation.
