Dear Md. Junaid,

Iron is an essential trace nutrient for all known organisms, as well as one of the most abundant elements in the earth’s crust. However, iron availability is limited by the low solubility and the slow solution kinetics in mineral phases that contain iron, specially in neutral or alkaline environments (in terms of pH) such as carbonate soils, sea water and anaerobic digestors, where pH must be carefully controlled. In fact, bacteria, fungi and plants have developed complex systems of iron acquisition in order to increase mineral iron bioavailability in such environments.

The iron oxide reacts with the H2S in the gas to form iron sulfide and water. This method is called an iron sponge. The second focus  to test hydrogen sulfide removal using the iron sponge method. The first goal to determine the optimum operating parameters of an iron sponge system. Using ground yard waste, ideal operating parameters for the iron sponge  determined to be 0.1875” particle size and 15%-25% moisture content.
