Organic materials (mainly composts, bark and shavings, heather twigs) are the substances most often used as packing beds in biofilters. The aim of the study was to evaluate the rate of hydrogen sulfide removal in pine bark. The initial concentration of hydrogen sulfide was up to 58% v/v. The removal rates of this gas, using the pine bark bed, ranged from 0.003 cm3 g -1 min-1 (115.64 g m-3 h-1) to 0.040 cm3 g-1 min-1 (1541.85 g m-3 h -1). The results of a preliminary test suggest that the process is abiotic. In order to eliminate biotic pathways of hydrogen sulfide removal, the samples were sterilized.
