Description
Biochar or Biochar is the product of the thermal decomposition of organic materials (biomass) with little or limited supply of oxygen (reducing environment), at relatively low temperatures (below 700 oC) and which is intended for agricultural use, which makes it different from charcoal used as fuel and activated charcoal.
In our case, the biological material used is the remains of pruning and biomass of ornamental plant species, from work in municipalities in our area. The incorporation of biochar to the soil can alter its physical properties and improve them such as texture, structure, pore size distribution, total surface area, and apparent density, with repercussions on aeration, moisture retention capacity, growth. of plants and ease of tillage of the soil.
Biochar generally increases the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil and, therefore, the retention of NH4 +, K +, Ca2 +, Mg2 +, which is probably attributed to its high specific surface area. In addition, it contributes to making acidic soils more fertile.
MAIN FEATURES
Coal with microorganisms. Increase the Cation Exchange Capacity. It aerates the grounds and is a moisture reserve for them. Especially suitable for correcting acidic soils.
PROPIEDADES
Biochar is the product of the thermal decomposition of organic materials (biomass) with little or limited oxygen supply (reducing environment), at relatively low temperatures (below 700 degrees Celsius) and which is intended for agricultural use, which makes different from charcoal used as fuel and activated charcoal. In our case, the biological material used is the remains of pruning and biomass of ornamental plant species, from work in municipalities in our area. Once the pyrolysis is carried out in a long process, the maximum carbonization of the plant material is obtained, considerably reducing the amount of volatile compounds.
