| Sumario: | The thesis deals with removal of organosilicon compounds in the energy recovery of biogas. Alternative adsorbents for the siloxane removal were studied, and the physical and chemical mechanisms involved in the siloxane adsorption were discovered, which improved the yield of the adsorption and regeneration technologies using both activated carbons and zeolites. Moreover, several technologies based on advanced oxidation processes have been applied in order to regenerate and reuse the exhausted adsorbents. The thesis studies the siloxane removal at lab-scale close to real scenario conditions, including the competitive adsorption with compounds usually found in biogas, in the presence of humidity and with the same gas matrix, which allowed to select the most efficient materials for this purpose. Therefore, the knowledge reported in the thesis dissertation is directly transferable to field application to upgrade the siloxane removal system |
