    I Need Feedback On This Biochar Article

    Wow, don't know where to start with this one. First, not sure if I'd want my organization to use the ISIS acronym, but that's just me. As far as the base material, there are companies out there using forest slash and recent beetle-kills (Colorado) as a source material. Trees that would either be...

    Biochar.....in Depth Paper On Its Advantages

    For what it's worth, some companies (such as CoolTerra) are using forest 'slash' material (reduce fuels for forest fires) and recent beetle kills (also reducing potential forest fire fuels) from areas such as Colorado. The gasses released during pyrolysis are captured to produce fuel, which...

    Bio-char Soil Ammendment

    Activated carbon/charcoal (AC) is cooked off (pyrolysis) at a much higher temperature vs biochar (~470 celsius). Briquettes for BBQing much lower temp, but have very high volatile organic compounds (VOC) because they're made to burn. Due to some chemistry involved in AC, it binds onto minerals...

    Bio-char Soil Ammendment

    Raw biochars bind-up nutrients for ~ a year and a half. Need to be conditioned. Organichar is conditioned (pH dropped to neutral state, fines/ash rinsed and inoculated w/ beneficial microbes). Raw biochar can have a very high pH. Some source material can produce BC with high salts too. In...
