How much will that costs, & what will be the levels of airpollution compared Kyoto standards of poluution, if they are higher, how can they be mitigated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815731807975438980.post-47413578847013133622017-01-10T07:25:29.415-08:002017-01-10T07:25:29.415-08:00And this from http://www.warrencc.org.au/wp-conten...And this from http://www.warrencc.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/CharcoalVinegar-with-pictures.pdf<br /><br />''Until recently, charcoal and wood vinegar have been used<br />principally in areas other than agriculture. Charcoal has<br />been used as a fuel, of course, as well as in sewage treatment<br />and metal polishing. Wood vinegar has been used in a<br />variety of ways, including as an ingredient in medicines, an<br />additive to animal feeds, a deodoriser, a mordant in the<br />dyeing process, a facilitator in the fermentation process, a<br />filter in sewage treatment and a raw material in various<br />other industries.<br />However, recently farmers and agricultural researchers<br />have been looking into the use of charcoal and wood vinegar<br />as alternatives to chemicals in improving crop yields and<br />controlling pests. According to recent research and field<br />trials, the following are some of the benefits of using wood vinegar in agriculture.<br /><br />Benefits of wood vinegar<br />Wood vinegar has a variety of beneficial effects<br />stemming from the fact that it is made up of a variety of<br />minerals, compounds and acids. Researchers have<br />found that wood vinegar consists of more than 200<br />different ingredients. Tables 1 and 2 show the main<br />ingredients found in raw and refined wood vinegar.<br />The most common component in wood vinegar, except<br />for water, is acetic acid, which accounts for 3 to 7% of<br />the total ingredients and 50-70% of the organic matter.<br />In addition to acetic acid and other organic vinegars,<br />raw wood vinegar also consists of roughly 5% phenols <br />and several percents of various types of alcohol<br />including methanol and ethanol.<br />Researchers have found that the beneficial effects of<br />wood vinegar in agricultural applications include:<br />1. Spraying diluted wood vinegar on plant leaves<br />increases their vitality and improves crop quality.<br />2. Spraying also helps control harmful insects and<br />some kinds of plant diseases.<br />3. Wood vinegar and agricultural chemicals are<br />complementary. The efficacy of using them together<br />is greater than using either one alone.<br />4. If wood vinegar is applied to the soil or mixed into it<br />in high concentrations, it inhibits eelworms and soil<br />diseases. In low concentrations or while it is in th<br />process of being broken down in the soil it increases<br />the quantity of useful microbes.<br />5. Wood vinegar helps plants develop stronger roots.<br />6. Mixing wood vinegar with manure reduces odours<br />and facilitates composting.<br />Wood vinegar has a variety of other benefits. For example, if<br />it is mixed with animal feed, it improves the meat quality.<br />Table 1 lists some specific uses of wood vinegar in<br />combating blight and insects.<br />How wood vinegar is formed<br />In order to better understand the components of wood<br />vinegar ad how it works, it may be helpful to know how it is<br />formed. The main ingredients in wood are the fibres<br />cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin (Figure 3). In addition<br />there are small quantities of compounds such as tannin.<br />When these compounds are pyrolysed, ie in an air-tight<br />environment, new compounds are formed. The types of<br />compounds formed depends on the temperature of the fire.<br />During the wood carbonization process, cellulose first<br />pyrolyses at about 275 degrees centigrade. Later, lignin<br />pyrolysis begins at 375 degrees, becoming most intense at<br />400 degrees (Figure 4). (The same type of process occurs<br />when compost is made from straw where decomposition by<br />microbes first occurs in the cellulose and later in the harder<br />lignin).<br />Teddy Kinyanjuihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15520365484295932538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815731807975438980.post-46216683744580208082017-01-10T07:22:14.462-08:002017-01-10T07:22:14.462-08:00Some more links here below:

During the process of making charcoal, the kiln was designed to produce wood vinegar as a by-product. Use of wood vinegar is becoming popular with some Thai farmers who make use of this cheap source of organic liquid as a plant protection substrate. The experiment examined wood vinegar, produced by the student-designed kiln, as a fungicide, bactericide and as either laying or hatching inhibitor of cowpea weevil. The results suggest that wood vinegar is a promising solution in plant protection, showing good potential for inhibition of pathogenic-fungi and bacterial growth. It was found that cleaning wood vinegar by sedimentation or centrifugation is necessary. Sedimentation of wood vinegar for 3 months resulted in similar characteristics to commercial products. Furthermore, centrifuged wood vinegar could prevent egg laying and penetrated well into the seed of cowpea weevil. These results indicated that people in rural communities could easily build or modify their own charcoal kilns in order to produce wood vinegar for use as an organic method of plant protection for their farms.'' https://www.researchgate.net/publication/266409813_Wood_vinegar_by-product_from_rural_charcoal_kiln_and_its_role_in_plant_protectionTeddy Kinyanjuihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15520365484295932538noreply@blogger.com
