Abstract
A method for capturing material extracted from biochar, the method comprising the steps of: (i) providing a biochar; (ii) contacting the biochar with a treating liquid, where the treating liquid causes the removal of solids from the pores and surface of the biochar, thereby creating a resulting solution comprised of the treating liquid and removed solids; and (iii) collecting the resulting solution.
Claims30
A method for capturing material extracted from biochar, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a biochar that includes residual organic compounds;
- contacting the biochar with a treating liquid, wherein the treating liquid removes at least some of the residual organic compounds from the biochar, thereby creating a biochar extract containing residual organic compounds;
- separating the biochar from the biochar extract;
- and
- collecting the biochar extract from which the biochar has been separated for further use and/or processing separate from, or prior to, disposal.
A method for capturing material extracted from biochar, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a biochar;
- introducing the biochar to a chamber;
- adding a treating liquid to the chamber;
- and
- changing the pressure in the chamber, wherein changing the pressure in the chamber causes the treating liquid to remove solids from the pores and surface of the biochar, thereby creating a resulting solution comprised of the treating liquid and removed solids;
- separating the biochar from the resulting solution;
- and
- collecting the solution from which the biochar has been separated for further use and/or processing separate from, or prior to, disposal.

A method for capturing material extracted from biochar, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a biochar;
- introducing the biochar to a chamber at atmospheric pressure;
- adding a treating liquid to the chamber to contact the biochar with the treating liquid;
- pulling a vacuum on the chamber for a predetermined period of time and then returning the pressure in the chamber to atmospheric pressure, where the treating liquid causes the removal of solids from the pores and surface of the biochar, thereby creating a resulting solution comprised of the treating liquid and removed solids;
- separating the biochar from the resulting solution;
- and
- collecting the solution from which the biochar has been separated for further use and/or processing separate from, or prior to, disposal.
