Abstract
In this study, the feasibility of using waste concrete as a cover material to remove hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from landfill gas was evaluated. The waste concrete composed of alkaline earth metal-based compounds was applied as a H2S adsorbent owing to its high ion exchange capacity. The H2S adsorption amount and breakthrough characteristics with relation to the temperature of the waste concrete and the flow rate of H2S were examined by applying the Adam–Bohart, Tomas, and Yoon–Nelson models. The highest adsorption amount of H2S per unit mass of waste concrete was achieved at 40 o C with a flow rate of H2S of 100 mL/min. The Tomas and Yoon–Nelson models showed an R of 0.9601. A basic study was conducted on the H22S adsorption by waste concrete as the cover material.
