The impact of various parameters, such as H2S concentrations, Empty Bed Residence Time (EBRT) and molar ratio N/S, on the performances of biofilters was evaluated. At an EBRT of 300 s, expanded schist efficiently treated H2S concentrations up to 1100 ppmv (maximum elimination capacity ECmax = 30.3 g m-3 h-1). At an EBRT of 240 s, cellular concrete waste was an effective material for the treatment of concentrations of H2S up to 900 ppmv (ECmax = 25.2 g m-3 h-1). Whatever the molar ratio N/S selected, sulfate and elemental sulfur were produced in the biofilters. Both materials presented a satisfactory mechanical behavior with low pressure drops. Therefore, this study showed that biofilters could be used to treat moderate concentrations of H2S in biogas under anoxic conditions. %G English %2 https://univ-rennes.hal.science/hal-01639689/document %2 https://univ-rennes.hal.science/hal-01639689/file/Ben%20Jaber%20-%20Hydrogen%20sulfide%20removal.pdf %L hal-01639689 %U https://univ-rennes.hal.science/hal-01639689 %~ SDE %~ UNIV-NANTES %~ INSTITUT-TELECOM %~ UNIV-RENNES1 %~ CNRS %~ INSA-RENNES %~ ENSC-RENNES %~ ISCR %~ GIP-BE %~ UNAM %~ SCR-CIP %~ STATS-UR1 %~ UR1-SPM %~ INC-CNRS %~ UR1-UFR-SPM %~ UR1-HAL %~ UR1-SDLM %~ GEPEA %~ AGREENIUM %~ TEST-UNIV-RENNES %~ TEST-UR-CSS %~ UNIV-RENNES %~ INSA-GROUPE %~ GEPEA-TEAM %~ INSTITUTS-TELECOM %~ TEST-HALCNRS %~ UR1-MMS %~ NANTES-UNIVERSITE %~ UNIV-NANTES-AV2022 %~ TEST2-HALCNRS %~ ONIRIS
