✦ Synopsis
16 Fuel science and technology (fundamental science, analysis, instrumentation) efficiencies in a composted pine bark biofilter were determined at methane concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 2.5% (v/v) and retention times of 20-400 min. Methane removal efficiencies exceeding 70%, were obtained when the biofilter was subjected to gas retention times in excess of 30 min and methane concentrations up to 0.5% (v/v). The data obtained were used to develop an empirical model that successfully described the overall removal efficiency with an R* value of 0.97. It was concluded that composted pine bark could indeed be successfully utilized in passive gas-flow biofiltration for the attenuation of methane in worked underground coal mining chambers.
