A calcium carbonate agricultural product includes calcium carbonate. The calcium carbonate agricultural product may be used to replace any suitable agricultural plastic currently in use. A method of growing plants includes providing a calcium carbonate agricultural product including calcium carbonate to protect the plants. A method for controlling a pH of soil includes: providing a calcium carbonate agricultural product including calcium carbonate to the soil; and releasing the calcium carbonate of the calcium carbonate agricultural product to the soil.

Disclosed herein is a method for stabilising a volume of soil (e.g. a volume of soil that defines a road base or a road sub-base). The method comprises applying a coating agent comprising one or more salts of fatty acids derived from coconut oil to the soil, whereby soil particles in the soil are coated with the coating agent, and then applying to the soil a setting agent comprising a metallic salt that is capable of reacting with the one or more salts of fatty acids derived from coconut oil, whereupon a set product is formed. The soil is subsequently compacted, whereby the coated soil particles are consolidated.

A method and a system for in-situ remediation of recalcitrant organic and inorganic contaminants in an environmental medium are disclosed. Dissolved gases from water and an oil are removed to form degassed water and a degassed oil. The degassed water and the degassed oil are mixed to form a surfactant-free oil-in water emulsion. The surfactant-free oil-in-water emulsion is injected into the environmental medium, thereby producing anaerobic conditions to cause indigenous anerobic bacteria to biodegrade residual concentrations of the contaminants in the environmental medium.

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.
