| description | Production of biogas is based on anaerobic digestion of
different renewable raw materials including human, animal,
agricultural, industrial, and municipal wastes. In addition
to methane content, biogas contains carbon dioxide
along with water vapor, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and
depending on the raw materials siloxane can be present.
Thus, different purification and upgrading strategies are necessary
in order to enhance the methane content; this review
presents some of the upgrading technologies for practical
removal of major contaminants in biogas. Recent development
in membrane technology with high selectivity and permeability
could serve as a boost in search for the most
efficient biogas upgrading process capable of meeting the
requirements for its use in vehicle fuel as well as incorporation
in the natural gas grid. |
