Abstract

Inefficiency, emission of greenhouses gases and the deleterious effects of carbonaceous fuels on both human health and the environment are responsible for the increased in exploration and adoption of eco-friendly and sustainable fuels to various aspects of human development and production processes. This study was aimed at the generation, treatment and compressing of biogas into Liquefied Petroleum Gas Cylinder (LPGC) for deployment to firing ceramic kiln. The methodology involved the anaerobic digestion of cow dung and the treatment of the generated gas using water scrubbing technology. The results of the study showed an increased in methane content from an untreated value of 43.5% to 93.98%, the elimination of CO2, and H2S; reduction in volume of gas used in firing a ceramic kiln to 1030 °C from 22,300 L of untreated biogas to 492 L of treated biogas, as well as the prevention of 108,000 g of methane, 124,00 g of CO2, 74,400 g of CO and 173.6 g of NO2 from venting into the climate system.
使用经处理和压缩的沼气作为陶瓷窑烧制的可持续燃料
效率低下、温室气体排放以及含碳燃料对人类健康和环境的有害影响,是人类发展和生产过程的各个方面越来越多地探索和采用生态友好和可持续燃料的原因。本研究旨在研究沼气的产生、处理和压缩成液化石油气瓶(LPGC)用于陶瓷窑炉烧制。该方法包括牛粪的厌氧消化和使用水洗涤技术处理产生的气体。研究结果表明,甲烷含量从未经处理的43.5%增加到93.98%,消除了CO2和H2S;将陶瓷窑烧至1030°C时使用的气体量从22300升未处理的沼气减少到492升,并防止108000克甲烷、124000克二氧化碳、74400克CO和173.6克NO2排放到气候系统中。
