I did undergraduate research on biochar! Specifically on how they work as a material to clean up water samples that are contaminated with heavy metals. The process of creating biochar is called pyrolysis. Pyrolysis is not only when the organic matter is superheated but superheated while also being deprived of oxygen. And a little fun fact, the type of feedstock you use can somewhat drastically change the characteristics of the resulting biochar!
Thankyou for sharing! Genuine question, is there a simple test to check if you have charcoal or biochar? Like something you can do with your hands, or with water etc. To confirm you have reached the temps to gassify and complete the pyrolysis? I did Environmental science at uni some years back and would love to experiment making this stuff, but want to understand if I can simply, without a lab test confirm if I have succeeded or not. Thankyou in advance for any response you have!
@@Soggstermainia I’m honestly not 100% sure about how one would test to determine if a sample is one or the other. Biochar is produced at a much higher temperature than charcoal and with a more broad variety of materials as feedstocks. They also differ in application so you may be able to perform some tests to see if a sample is behaving in line with what would be expected for a biochar/charcoal. They differ in porosity/surface area-biochar has a much more porous, larger surface area making it a better candidate for adsorption. They also are observed to alter pH differently when added to water. Charcoal tends to be much more basic and strictly basic whereas biochar has a wider range from moderately acidic to moderately basic. A pH test may aid in differentiating if the samples are significantly different in how they alter pH!
@ezra9521 I was asking elsewhere and someone mentioned that their BBQ charcoal always stains their hands black and it sticks well. Needing soap to remove. But the biochar they make in a gasifier the black they get on their hands is more like soot and wipes off easily. Presumably due to the lack of the substances that are gasified during pyrolysis are what make the soot stick. So I was told rub it on my hands to test it. Not 100% sure on it but might buy some known sources and test/compare myself to see if it works. Cos that would be a very simple test!
@@SoggstermainiaI would say BBQ charcoal is "dirty" charcoal, while that made in higher temp longer pyrolysis conditions is "clean" charcoal. Biochar is inoculated charcoal. It is soaked in compost tea, mixed with worm castings, manure, etc. If you don't inoculate the charcoal and add it directly to the soil, it will pull nutrients from the soil making it a poor environment for plants and/or bacteria to live/survive. You cannot make Biochar *just* by super heating carbon stuff in an oxygen poor environment. You need a biological agent to inoculate it.
More accurately: The inner ‘feedstock’ was heated to decomposition temperature by the outer fire, but deprived of oxygen to prevent it from burning to ash.
you also have to keep in mind any commercially sold wood or building wood scraps may have been chemically treated to be insect and rot resistant. this can release pretty dangerous and nasty vapors and may leave residue in the char.
This is carbonization, a form of pyrolysis. What’s happening is that the organic matter is burned in low oxygen, resulting in only carbon being left behind.
You and your channel/ farm are the epitome of modern Era... research, experimentation, old knowledge and new tech... all packaged into attractive content to teach the masses. A true gift to society. Give your back a pat.
Another way to look at it is that the microbes in the soil are the digestive system for the plants to get the minerals. It's basically the plants Microbiome .
This bio char is the same ingredient that the tribes added to the Amazonian soil which is the best soil in the world. It’s so famous now that people come and steal it from the Amazon and export it out all over the world. The one thing I found interesting was that you have to have bio char that is made without oxygen and it’s got something to do with the way the fire burns. So maybe this double barrel method keeps the oxygen low around the organic material turning into biochar.
He is just making charcoal. The heat burns of the organic material, but the low oxygen means the carbon doesn't burn. Nothing new here it's been done for years. Like the "Biopods" they posted. Those are just a worm farm.
@@StuninRub actually its not just charcoal. And im pretty sure a quick google search would easily have dispelled that. But, i get it. So much easier to just spout whatever is on your mind with no repercussions. Its called biochar. Its named so to differentiate between that and charcoal. And it sounds to me its pretty new to you. Is vermiculite just charcoal too?
@@asdfghjkllkjhgfdsa9161 vermiculite is a type of rock, it has nothing to do with charcoal. And this IS just charcoal. Charcoal is what is produced when an organic (carbon based) item is heated to drive off the volatile components, leaving mainly the carbon behind, basically the cell walls. Charcoal used to make BBQ briquettes is generally made from wood or sawdust, but burnt toast is a type of charcoal as well. Biochar is just a fancy way of saying charcoal, because Biochar IS charcoal, and this method is the same way charcoal is made for BBQ briquettes or activated charcoal, it's heating it while excluding oxygen so that the carbon doesn't burn.
Biochar is inoculated charcoal. Which can be done multiple ways like soaking in a liquid fertilizer for about a week before using or you can add it to your compost pile/bin and wait at least 2-3 months(the longer the better) before using in the garden. I like to do both, soak it in my homemade liquid fertilizer for a week then add it to my compost piles
Yup. Biological Charcoal. Pre-Columbian Amazonians called it terra preta. They produced it by smouldering biomass in pits in the process of pyrolysis (starved of oxygen).
@@Electedsphinx40 Yup. The highest concentrations of terra preta were usually found close to living quarters, often under kitchens, where broken pottery shards mixed with organic matter and accumulated over years.
I think wood still becomes charcoal but bio-char sounds stupid either way. Edit: Never mind, charcoal is just the overarching term for amorphous, porous black solids used as fuel, liquid purifier and a carbon source whereas biochar is pretty much just that but for soil because it’s made of decomposed agricultural material like bones and whatnot.
it was pirolized. oxygen molecules we're attached without combustion happening. you can tell if something is pirolized or burnt by whether it's shiny or not. shiny is burnt, matte is pirolized.
Remember everyone, soil can get tired from all the farming! Remember to feed it and let it rest. I think this is the major reason why farms do a cycle that always leaves a few plots of farmland unplanted.
Ignore most of the voice-over instruction. The inner barrel should NOT have plenty of ventilation. The entire aim is to keep oxygen from the feedstock. The inner barrel is not sealed, but the lid is on so that volatile gases can be expelled under pressure while oxygen does not get introduced. It is not "superheating" which creates the charcoal ("biochar" is just a fancy new name for charcoal) it is the heating to expel everything except the carbon, while keeping out oxygen so the carbon does not ignite and burn.
I once worked with engineer students on charity project to make high temp stove for farmer to turn left over bamboo scraps into high quality charcoal. Our first few ones were made of metal barrel similar to yours and they exploded after some period of use. The barrel could not withstand that high heat. Our later designed are made of brick or cement 😅
You can also do this via a hole in the ground and a hot fire, once enough wood is glowing red just quench the fire. Then soak the charcoal in a compost liquid or slowly add to your compost pile to make biochar. Note: Charcoal can be added to chicken pens or other animal pens to help keep odours down, then just throw it all in the compost when you do the normal clean out.
Industrial Charcoal production emits 1-2.4 Gt CO2e every year. That's between 2 and 7 percent of global anthropogenic emissions. Dont pin it on this person, who probably has a carbon footprint closer to zero than any of their viewers.
When will you be making a full video on biochar and how to properly use it in gardens and fields? It’s been like 10 months and there’s still no biochar video

Thank you for the tip, it's gonna come in handy as i have to dispose of a big bunch of bones rather quickly, might as well take the opportunity to pick up the gardening hobby
Its charcoal and the reason it was made wasn't because it "was super heated and not touched by open flame" its because it was heated up enough to burn but lacked oxygen so stuff broke down but there was no oxygen to react with the carbon
So much easier to just use a pit or 1 barrel with the side cut out than a double retort. The cold shock at the end of the burn (via water douse) helps fracture the char also. But each their own.
Totally agree, this barrel in barrel method is much more difficult to get right and when some of the parameters are off it will result in either a very polluting burn with loads of unburnt fuel and/or incomplete pyrolysis of the retort content. Not to mention the inefficient nature of this design that typically requires 25 gallons of biomass to be burned down to ashes to pyrolyse 30 gallons worth of biomass. Pit burns achieve hotter temperatures, can create much more biochar in the same timeframe and waste far less biomass to ash formation. True TLUD gasifiers are a great way to produce high quality biochar as well and make it very easy to utilise the process energy for cooking and/or domestic heating.
@@propaganja7264 I recommend researching "conical pit biochar" or "cone shaped pits biochar production" or "ditch digging biochar". It's fairly simply. I made about a cubic meter of biochar my first try after digging with some kids i was teaching for about an hour. I let the char burn for 24-48 hours covered with the same soil we dug out of the pit. Cone shaped is the best, can't remember the approximate angle of the slope, but you can find this with some brief research.
If you did the firepit method, you can spray water on it to create more surface area in the charcoal as a result from the thermal shock, it allows more microbes to inhabit the charcoal
Since you make a process charring of wood, you can collect the steam of the process and condense it back in one cooling container. It produces fragrant water with aromatic compounds. There is charcoal maker in my country that selling the fragrant water for 1 US dollar for 1.5 L. Not for ingestion though
