AB  - Biological removal of hydrogen sulfide in biogas is an increasingly adopted 
      alternative to the conventional physicochemical processes, because of its 
      economic and environmental benefits. In this study, a microaerobic biofiltration 
      system packed with polypropylene carrier was used to investigate the removal of 
      high concentrations of H2S contained in biogas from an anaerobic digester. The 
      results show that H2S in biogas was removed completely under different inlet 
      concentrations of H2S from 2065 +/- 234 to 7818 +/- 131 ppmv, and the elimination 
      capacity of H2S in the filter achieved about 122 g H2S/m(3)/h. It was observed 
      that the content of CH4 in biogas increased after the biogas biodesulfurization 
      process, which was beneficial for the further utilization of biogas. The 
      elemental sulfur and sulfate were the main sulfur species of H2S degradation, and 
      elemental sulfur was dominant (about 80 %) under high inlet H2S concentration. 
      The results of terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) and 
      fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) show that the population of 
      sulfide-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) species in the filter changed with different 
      concentrations of H2S. The microaerobic biofiltration system allows the potential 
      use of biogas and the recovery of elemental sulfur resource simultaneously.
