Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the production of biogas from raw biogas, wherein an exhaust gas stream obtained during the treatment of raw biogas is treated with a catalyst.
- the invention further relates to the use of a catalyst for the treatment of an exhaust gas stream resulting from the production of biogas.
- Biogas is a mixture of the main components methane and carbon dioxide and is produced during the anaerobic fermentation of organic material. In contrast to aerobic composting, the process takes place under exclusion of air. The fermentation process takes place in nature z. B. in the rumen of cattle, moor or wetlands or rice fields instead.
- Table 1 shows a typical composition of biogas.
- biogas The industrial production of biogas is realized in special biogas plants. Typical starting materials for this purpose are, for. As farm manure (eg manure) and energy crops (renewable resource). The technical fundamentals for the production and use of biogas are described several times in the literature and state of the art. Good summaries are for. B. in the book “biogas practice” by Heinz Schulz (Publisher: ⁇ k ⁇ buch Verlag, ISBN-10: 3922964591 ISBN-13: 978-3922964599) to find.
- the current main technical use is the motor conversion into electricity and heat.
- an internal combustion engine is fed with biogas and operated with the kinetic energy generated a generator for power generation.
- the waste heat produced in the combustion process is returned to the fermentation process as necessary process heat for fermentation and / or used in combined heat and power cogeneration systems.
- biogas plant The current main purpose of a biogas plant is the generation of electricity and its supply to the public grid. Unlike electricity from wind and solar power plants, biogas electricity can be permanently fed into a power grid and thus cover basic loads in the electricity supply.
- biogas energy generation in fuel cells (eg MCFC systems, "cfc-solutions") as well as the generation of syngas with on the following synthesis steps such.
- energy generation in fuel cells eg MCFC systems, "cfc-solutions”

- a methanol synthesis or a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis As a methanol synthesis or a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.
- a recently discussed usage path is biogas upgrading to natural gas.
- the generated "Bicmethan"("bio natural gas”) can be decentralized connected to the natural gas network or fed and used. According to the Association Biogas e. In future, in Germany alone, up to 20% of natural gas consumption could be covered by biomethane. So that the gas can be fed into a natural gas network without any problems, other accompanying substances must be permanently separated in addition to CO 2 .
- the quality requirements for the production of natural gas substitutes are specified in DVGW G260, 261 and 262.
- these partial gas streams reach the atmosphere as exhaust gas. Since components of this gas stream are harmful to health and to the environment (eg methane is one of the greenhouse gases and is more harmful than CO 2 by a factor of 21), the untreated release into the environment should be avoided.
- the exhaust gas flow through the components contained a calorific value, which would not be used for direct release into the environment.
- EP 1 634 946 A1 describes, for example, how the proportion of methane in this exhaust gas stream can be varied by modifying the separation process.
- the goal is to get the Adjust the flow of exhaust gas in its composition so that a combustible composition is formed, which can be used thermally (by burning), for example for the production of raw biogas (eg for heating a fermenter).
- a disadvantage of this method is that the combustion of the exhaust gas stream produces sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides, which are further emitted to the environment.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a method in which the exhaust gas stream is freed from harmful components and, in addition, the energy contained in the exhaust gas stream can be utilized.
- the object is achieved by a method for the production of biogas from raw biogas, comprising the steps of
- the provision of the raw biogas can be carried out by the methods known in the art, for example anaerobic fermentation in an industrial biogas plant.
- the exhaust gas stream is treated with a catalyst. This means that the exhaust gas stream is passed over the catalyst, resulting in a heat of reaction which can be reused.

- Suitable noble metals are preferably selected from the group comprising platinum, palladium, rhodium, copper, silver and ruthenium.
- the catalytically active layer is preferably applied in the form of a washcoat by impregnation, spraying or vacuuming (incipient wetness method), which contains the catalytically active substances, in particular the metals.
- the metals are usually applied in the form of their nitrates, chlorides, sulfates, sulfites, acetates, etc., or complex compounds of these metals.
- the corresponding oxides in the form of slurries are also usable.
- a drying or calcining step is typically carried out, whereupon metal or noble metal doping of the washcoat surface is additionally carried out with further catalytically active metals or their compounds, such as nitrates, chlorides, sulfates, sulfites, acetates or complex compounds can.
- the oxidation catalyst may be a zeolite or a zeolite-like material, or a support material may be coated with the zeolite or zeolite-like material.
- a support material may be coated with the zeolite or zeolite-like material.
- the zeolite is preferably selected from a group of zeolites having the topologies AEL, BEA, CHA, EUO, FAO, FER, KFI, LTA, LTL, MAZ, MOR, MEL, MTW, LEV, OFF, TON and MFI.

- the zeolite structure contains voids, channels that are characteristic of each zeolite.
- the zeolites are classified into different structures according to their topology.
- the zeolite framework contains open cavities in the form of channels and cages that are normally occupied by water molecules and additional framework cations that can be exchanged.
- An aluminum atom has an excess negative charge which is compensated by these cations.
- the interior of the pore system represents the catalytically active surface. The more aluminum and the less silicon a zeolite contains, the denser the negative charge in its lattice and the more polar its internal surface.
- the pore size and structure is determined by the Si / Al ratio, which is the major part of the catalytic character of a zeolite, besides the parameters of manufacture, ie, use, or type of template, pH, pressure, temperature, presence of seed crystals accounts.
- the presence of divalent or trivalent cations as a tetrahedral center in the zeolite framework gives the zeolite a negative charge in the form of so-called anion sites, in the vicinity of which the corresponding cation positions are located.
- the negative charge is compensated by the incorporation of cations in the pores of the zeolite material.
- the zeolites are mainly distinguished by the geometry of the cavities formed by the rigid network of SiO 4 / AlO 4 tetrahedra.
- the entrances to the cavities are formed by 8, 10 or 12 rings, the expert speaks here of narrow, medium and large pore zeolites.
- Certain zeolites show a uniform structure structure, e.g. For example, the ZSM-5 or the MFI topology, with linear or zigzag running channels, in others close behind the pore openings larger cavities, eg. As in the Y or A zeolites, with the topologies FAO and LTA.
- the zeolite is a metal-exchanged zeolite, more preferably a Fe zeolite.
- the zeolite or zeolite-like material may be further coated or doped with a noble metal. Suitable noble metals are also preferably selected from the group comprising platinum, palladium, rhodium, copper, silver and ruthenium.
- the production processes for metal-exchanged zeolites, for example via solid or liquid phase exchange, are known to the person skilled in the art.
- methods for coating or doping zeolites with noble metals are known to those skilled in the art.
