Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A treated biochar comprising a porous carbonaceous particle that has been treated and mixed with a media containing a mineral solubilizing microorganism, whereby the porous carbonaceous particle after mixing has retained the mineral solubilizing microorganism.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method for creating treated biochar having pores that are filled with a media containing a mineral solubilizing microorganism, the method comprising the step of infusing the media into the pores of the biochar which does not include exclusively submersing the biochar in a liquid solution to infuse the media into the pores of the biochar and which does not include the exclusive use of steam to infuse the media into the pores of the biochar. 2. The method of claim 1 where the mineral solubilizing microorganism includes a microorganism selected from the group consisting of: Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, Burkholderia, Achromobacter, Agrobacterium, Microccocus, Aereobacter, Flavobacterium, Erwinia, Klebsiella , and Enterobacter, Bacillus mucilaginosus, Bacillus edaphicus, Bacillus circulans, Paenibacillus spp., Acidothiobacillus ferrooxidans, Pseudomonas cepacia, Burkholderia cepacia, Klebsiella variicola, Pantoea agglomerans, Glomus mosseae, Glomus intraradices, Aspergillus terreus and Aspergillus niger. 3. The method of claim 1 where the media is infused into the pores of the biochar using positive or negative pressure. 4. The method of claim 1 where the media is infused into the pores of the biochar using a surfactant. 5. The method of claim 4 where the surfactant treatment comprises adding 1% surfactant to the media. 6. The method of claim 1 where the pores of the biochar are washed prior to infusion with the media. 7. The method of claim 1 where the moisture content of the pores of the biochar are adjusted prior to infusion with the media. 8. The method of claim 1 where the biochar has been used in a water treatment process prior to being infused with the media. 9. A method for creating enhanced biochar, the method comprising the step of infusing a media containing a mineral solubilizing microorganism into the pores of the biochar using a solution containing 0.1-20% surfactant, where the mineral solubilizing microorganism is infused into the pores of the biochar using positive or negative pressure. 10. The method of claim 9 where the mineral solubilizing microorganism includes a microorganism selected from the group consisting of: Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, Burkholderia, Achromobacter, Agrobacterium, Microccocus, Aereobacter, Flavobacterium, Erwinia, Klebsiella , and Enterobacter, Bacillus mucilaginosus, Bacillus edaphicus, Bacillus circulans, Paenibacillus spp., Acidothiobacillus ferrooxidans, Pseudomonas cepacia, Burkholderia cepacia, Klebsiella variicola, Pantoea agglomerans, Glomus mosseae, Glomus intraradices, Aspergillus terreus and Aspergillus niger.
