[Digestion] Removal of hydrogen Sulphide from biogas

[Anand Karve]

Dear Mr. Taiwo,
passing biogas through a cylinder filled with iron filings or steel wool
would remove the hydrogen sulphide. The iron filings would turn black by
being converted into iron sulphide. Such blackened iron filings have to be
periodically changed.
Yours
