APPLICATION OF THE HALLOYSITE-BASED SORBENT FOR AGRICULTURAL BIOGAS PURIFICATION AND ELONGATION OF THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE LIFE
Abstract
Preliminary research results on sulphur, nitrogen and silicon compounds sorption from biogas produced in a representative small agricultural biogas plant are presented. Applicability of mineral sorbent prepared by the authors based on natural halloysite from Dunino deposit (Poland) was tested. Prototype plant designed for investigation on effectiveness of the S, N and Si compounds removal from biogas was demonstrated. Influence of crude biogas combustion on selected elements of internal combustion engine and exhaust silencer was studied. Chemical composition of deposit formed in internal combustion engine was identified, as well.References
