The head of R&D in Mineral Products for Industry (Promindsa), Dune Prat, has given a presentation on circular desulfurization in anaerobic biogas reactors within the last International Bioenergy Congress. In her intervention, Prat offered an innovative perspective on this process.
Promindsa has presented in congress Micronox Biox ON16, a micronized mineral used for desulfurization inside anaerobic reactors. This material, composed of iron oxide and iron oxyhydroxide of natural origin, "has the ability to capture the hydrogen sulfide generated during the biogas production process."
"The reaction is a chemisorption that occurs on the surface of the material, which has great efficiency due to its high available surface area«Prat pointed out.
Prat's presentation highlighted the contribution of Micronox Bios ON16 to the circular economy and sustainable development. In addition to its role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, This product promotes sustainable mining and has a reduced carbon footprint.
The production process of Micronox Bios ON16 is characterized by its low environmental impact and its use of certified renewable energy. From the extraction of the mineral to its application in anaerobic reactors, the use of water, solvents and chemical additives is avoided, which contributes to its low carbon footprint.
Prat concluded his presentation by highlighting the benefits of Micronox Bios ON16 for the biogas production process and its subsequent transformation into a product with nutritional value for the soil.
