Innovative iron oxide for desulfurizing biogas
Specialty chemicals company LANXESS has developed Bayoxide E 16, a highly effective synthetic iron oxide for reducing hydrogen sulfide in biogas that can be added directly to the fermentation reactor. “Our new product is a cost-efficient alternative to conventional desulfurization processes, such as the use of activated carbon. Bayoxide E 16 already removes much of the hydrogen sulfide in thek fermentation reactor, and is very effective on account of its nearly 100 % purity. In contrast to comparable products, a metering system is unnecessary, meaning Bayoxide E 16 is very simple to use,” explains Gregor Hermanns, technical oxides expert in the LANXESS Inorganic Pigments business unit.
