Abstract

To prevent performance degradation of biogas-fueled SOFC caused by H2S poisoning, this study aimed to develop a nitrogen (N)-doped carbon derived from biomass feedstock, which acted as an adsorbent of H2S. Biochar (BC) derived from rice husk (RH) treated with 25 vol% NH3gas at 900°C for 120 min, exhibited the largest H2S breakthrough capacity (ACPH2S(0)) of 8.02 mg H2S g- BC-1 and a total H2S adsorption capacity (ACPH2S) of 9.58 mg H2S g-BC-1. The largest ACPH2S, 23.0 mg H2S g-BC-1, was obtained for the RH-BC treated with NH3evaporated from a 10 wt% NH3solution (simulating a concentrated digested liquid) at 850°C for 270 min. For a mildly N-doped BC, the interaction of the surface with H2S was moderately weakened, preventing the blockage of micropore openings by the accumulation of sulfate. Consequently, the H2S molecules could be adsorbed into the micropores, resulting in a higher ACPH2S
