Abstract
Systems utilizing high temperature combustion generate an organic ash tea that may be used as a fertilizer. A biomaterial is fed to a high-temperature combustion reactor, where the biomaterial and nitrogen gas are burned to fix nitrogen in the burned biomaterial. The biomaterial is then steeped in water, which absorbs the nitrogen compounds and other combustion products. This ash tea may then be used as a fertilizer in agriculture.
Claims30
A plasma or high-temperature combustion system for producing ash tea, the system comprising:
- a reactor including a combustion chamber, the combustion chamber comprising one or more gas inlets and one or more biomaterial inlets, the combustion chamber configured to burn nitrogen gas and a biomaterial to produce ash and combustion products;
- an organic capture module operably connected to the plasma reactor to transport the ash and combustion products from the plasma reactor to the organic capture module, the organic capture module configured to capture the ash and combustion products in water, thereby generating ash tea.
A process for producing ash tea, the process comprising:
- burning a biomaterial and nitrogen in a high temperature combustion reactor to form ash and combustion products;
- and capturing and steeping ash and combustion products in water to form ash tea.
An ash tea composition made by the process of:
- burning a biomaterial and nitrogen in a high temperature combustion reactor to form ash and combustion products;
- and capturing and steeping ash and combustion products in water to form ash tea.
