Methods for installing soil and sand stabilization columns using a chemical polymer are provided. The chemical polymer can be a liquid acrylic base chemical polymer or a liquid vinyl acetate base chemical polymer. In the methods, a dilution rate of a chemical polymer is determined based on at least one of: a moisture content of the soil at a selected soil location, a particle size distribution of the soil at the selected soil location, a shear strength of the soil at the selected soil location, a target strength of the soil stabilization column, and a target stiffness of the soil stabilization column. The chemical polymer is then diluted based on the determined dilution rate. The diluted chemical polymer is inserted into a selected soil location and mixed with in-situ soil or with sand to form a stabilization column.

Provided is a method for disposing of contaminated deposit soil and recycled reclamation soil using the same and, more specifically, a method for disposing of contaminated dredged soil, the method comprising the steps of: seeding a mixed strain NIX51 (KACC81038BP) in the contaminated dredged soil to primarily dispose of contaminated materials in a bioreactor; and washing the degraded soil, which has been primarily disposed of, with a washing solution containing at least one selected from the group consisting of citric acid, oxalate, carbonic acid (H.sub.2CO.sub.3), and nitric acid, to secondarily dispose of heavy metals.

A method for using treated biochar to reduce the overall environmental impact of farming and minimize the carbon footprint of farms is provided. The method comprising engaging in one or more of the following practices: (1) combining treated biochar with feed or using biochar as feed for animals to reduce methane from enteric fermentation and increase animal health and nutrition; (2) combining treated biochar with compost, animal bedding or manure piles to reduce odor and increase nutrient retention; (3) applying treated biochar to lagoons to reduce odor and treat water; (4) applying treated biochar to pastures to increase pasture health; (5) applying treated biochar to crops to increase crop productivity, healthier roots and prevent fertilizer leaching; and (6) using the carbon negativity of a produced biochar to reduce the overall farm or ranch carbon footprint.

Systems, methods and apparatus for the thermal conversion of biomass into biochar. A mobile platform may be used to maneuver a mobile biochar generation system within a field of biomass. The biomass may be harvested, preprocessed and pyrolyzed. After pyrolyzation, the biochar may be cooled to a predetermined temperature by integrating water and liquid nutrients into the biochar. The system may then control the application of the infused biochar by adjusting a spreading attachment and a plowing attachment.

The invention relates to a microbial delivery system where biochar acts as a carrier for microbes.
