What is Waste Based BioChar

In this episode, Dr.Arun Bansal and Mr. Puneet Arora discuss how to handle waste with an approach Known as "BioChar"  In laymen language “char” is a word that is used when some material gets burned and you are left with the remains of the material referred to as  “char”. Basically, it is a type of carbonaceous, solid, and recalcitrant solid which is typically extracted from the pyrolysis of waste biomass. In nature, when the fire broke out in jungles lot of char is produced and a large proportion of it can be classified as “BioChar” or black carbon. A material that burns at a low level of oxygen and in absence of oxygen transforms into Biochar. This process is known as pyrolysis or thermal decomposition. Using homemade or industrial-grade equipment pyrolysis can be used for making biochar. In fact, it can be engineered to suit many applications in agriculture, building material, wellness and many more. Pyrolysis creates an intermediate fuel by decomposition of plant biomass. Biochar is primarily developed at temperatures ranging from 300 to 1000 degrees Celsius. The absence of oxygen enables a partial burning of organic matter thus producing more waste products such as biochar. Cold temperatures (300°C–600°C) yield a larger amount of char, with higher temperatures creating a more syrupy liquid. The best-known technology applied in waste-to-energy products is high-temperature pyrolysis of biomass materials yielding approximately 20 per cent syngas, a combustible gas used in internal combustion engines, consisting of mainly carbon monoxide and hydrogen, along with bio-oil and biochar.

What is Bioreactor for a Gardener

One is the biggest problem a gardener faces is "Composting ". For most of the gardeners is a laborious work which many gardeners prefer to ignore or out source.

Aren't We already doing composting. Isn't that a Bioreactor ? Yes , you are right a composting bin or pit is a Bioreactor. Lets listen to the Pod Cast and Know the in detail </center> Highlights : 1) Understanding basic meaning of Bioreactor for Gardeners 2) How Bioreactor is an Energy Multiple like Nuclear Reactor 3) Why runnig the Bioreactor with Oxygen is important 4) Two types of Bioreactors that are essential for Gardeners and Farmers 5) Fungi is require for composting woody/leaves material 6) 85-90% of plants , we grow in our gardens, farms and orchards require fungal dominated compost 7) How to make fungal dominated compost . 8) How to make compost biomass using PhotoBioreactor 9) How to make Photobioreactor for multiplying Azolla Ferns (Biofertilizer) 10) Mistakes , we do while composting .

Making Bio-Bricks -Vedic Bricks- Cow Dung-Gobar Bricks

The process of Making Vedic/Cow Dung/Tiles is discussed here :  Host ": Dr. Arun Bansal  Guest : Puneet Arora , Ecologic Corporation.  Synopsis : Houses that  are heat resistant both in winter and Summer are rare these days. As we grow the socio-economic  ladder  , we want to live in a pucca  house made of cement. In-fact , We want every thing "Permanent ", "Ever Lasting"  things in life. Forgetting that  Every thing in this world is transient. We want to make a pucca house that the next generation does not like and they want to change the design of house , buy new furniture , buy new bed sheets curtains and in-fact the new generation keep coming back  and ask was  change in house itself. Some even go beyond  They want to move to new better places not just for jobs but for better life. Yet ,we want to make a pucca houses . A house that lasts generations.. Mobility is key factor in remaining employable these days. You find thousands of houses vacant just because the residents have moved away to make better living. Yet we want have house that lasts for ever. We never buy a Car , we the thought that it will last for ever, because we know at the back of our mind the life of the Car is limited and it will not last decades. And then , we want to change it every few years .. but we want a pacca house that lasts forever and ever.  Education has made us aware of the ill impact of climate change , pollution and plundering of all natural resources , Yet we want to have a solid house that can even bear the blunt of nuclear bomb. Gypsum and lime have been used extensively in the construction of the building for centuries. Yet,we love to trust the cement that comes in a bag. Mud and Animal dung have been mixed together since years, But , lot of the modern formally educated lot will ask for references . Unless there is a published work on, not student from any standard university can work on such materials or products for their PhD or M tech Studies. Any , if a person have some kind of entrepreneurial sense, He or she can  work in this field to make decent living.  Let's begin with the advantages of starting such business . 1) There is no need to take environmental clearances. 2) Cow/buffalo dung is available in abundance ,in fact it is getting wasted . 3) No highly skilled labour is required . 4) No sophisticated machinery or technology is required. 5) The process of making vedic/cow dung cakes making  is all-ready well known , you only need to add lime to the gobar . 6) No sophisticated brick-kiln or Drying is required 7) Does not require high investment.in terms of land and machinery 8) Low Cost/ Affordable housing is possible using such material Advantages of Vedic/Cow Dung/Natural Bricks 1) It is natural building material that due not require curing once build like cement based material 2) It is natural building material that helps to maintain comfortable humidity levels in the room 3) It is natural building material that helps to maintain comfortable temperature in the room.
