H2S biofiltration was carried out at a constant H2S concentration (100 ppmv).
Expanded schist topped with nutritional particles UP20 was used as packing material.
Experimental data were fitted using the Ottengraf model equations.
The αlump parameter value was found to be 26.4 g1/2 m−3/2 h−1.
Such biofilter configuration is the most efficient to remove high H2S concentrations.
