Biochar production equipment is an industrial facility for recycling waste biomass into biochar under sustainability. The biochar machine of Kmarin realizes large-scale, highly automated, low-emission production, consistency of biochar. What's important, the carbon content and H/C molar ratio of biochar meet the standards of multiple industries. Therefore, more and more carbon neutral promoters are likely to contact us to get biochar project solution. Welcome to read to find more valuable market information.
Deep Dive into Biochar's Characteristics
Biochar is a carbon-containing substance formed by pyrolysis of biomass (such as wood, agricultural waste and other plant residues). Biochar production equipment ensures pyrolysis reaction takes place under high temperature and oxygen-free conditions. Such a production method gives biochar the following characteristics:
Porous Structure:
Biochar has abundant micropores on its surface and inside. The pore structure gives biochar a high specific surface area, which can reach between 200-500m²/g. This structure enables biochar to have efficient adsorption capacity and helps to store water and nutrients.
Rich Functional Groups:
The surface of biochar usually carries a variety of functional groups (such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, etc.). These groups provide many active sites to form chemical bonds with minerals, microorganisms, organic matter, etc., thereby improving its adsorption capacity.
High Stability & Durability:
The carbon in biochar exists mainly in aromatized and structured forms. Therefore, it has strong chemical and thermal stability and degrades very slowly in the soil or environment. Generally, biochar can even exist in the soil for hundreds of years.
Sustainable Application of Biochar in Various Industries
Carbon Removal
- Carbon Sequestration: Carbon content of biomass comes from atmospheric CO₂ absorbed by photosynthesis. Biochar pyrolysis equipment stably stores this carbon in biochar. This avoids carbon emissions from natural degradation of biomass.
- Carbon Credit Trading: Quantified carbon reduction effect of biochar making machine generates carbon credits. Biochar producers can sell them to carbon market to companies with excess carbon emissions for carbon offset.
Sustainable Agriculture
- Soil Fertility Remediation: Biochar's unique pore structure can absorb nutrients from the soil and release them slowly to reduce loss. In addition, biochar can optimize microbial activity and pH in soil. They all create favorable conditions for crop root growth.
- Agricultural Pollution Reduction: The use of fertilizers and pesticides causes agricultural pollution. Biochar as an alternative can ease dependence on them. Thus, this reduces the negative environmental impact caused by agricultural activities.
