    Hallo all,<br>
    <br>
    this is a question I have asked quite often, but perhaps never on
    the list .<br>
    <br>
    Whenever I read about the benefits of biochar, it is almost always
    in relation with distinctively acid soils.<br>
    <br>
    Does anyone know the effect of biochar, itself beeing mostly basic,
    on already basic soils ?<br>

          <p><span>Charcoal burns in direct contact with air well above
              600 C so any fire at the charcoal stage would be above
              500-600C. </span></p>
          <p><span></span> </p>
          <p><span># There are two issues here:</span></p>
          <p><span>1: The temperature at which charcoal burns</span></p>
          <p><span>2: The average temperature experienced by the
              charcoal remaining after it was produced.</span></p>
          <p><span>Certainly, charcoal can burn at temperatures well
              above 600C in air. Surface temperatures of burning char
              can be very different than the core temperature.  Consider
              a flash fire, with high surface temperatures for a short
              time. Core temperatures of the wood or char remaining can
              be very much lower. This is a very complex heat transfer
              problem... unsteady state three dimensional heat transfer
              to bodies of irregular shape, with change in phase. What
              is important is the properties of the "unburned charcoal"
              remaining for potential use as biochar.</span></p>
          <p><span></span> </p>
          <p><span> Higher temperature oxidized chars have great
              adsorption properties. They compost readily. Great way to
              make terra preta. </span></p>
          <p><span></span> </p>
          <p><span># Certainly, such "designer chars" could have very
              superior properties, but at greater cost.  The "bottom
              line" for the Farmer or Grower is the "Benefit/Cost
              Ratio." Additionally, there may be special soil conditions
              that such "designer chars" can handle better than "regular
              biochar" that works adequately well for most common soil
              conditions.</span></p>

                          <br>
                            Thanks:<br>
                          <br>
                            I see only a few remaining questions related
                          to the thermocouples.  My interest is only in
                          being able to report to the soil scientists
                          the temperature at which the char was
                          produced.<br>
                          <br>
                              Q1.  I think we should be able to say that
                          a time average of a central thermocouple
                          measurement showing a slight drop over time of
                          the highest numbers is a pretty good estimate
                          - that could be reproduced for "any" similar
                          "flaming pyrolysis" approacd.  The properties
                          (pH, surface areas, labile component, etc) of
                          such char should be compared  (a Master's
                          thesis?) with char produced via other means. 
                          I think Nat Mulcahy's non-flaming pyrolysis
                          approach can produce varying temperature
                          char.  An all-electric heating approach in any
                          oxygen-free environment , operated at
                          different temperature should also be used to
                          compare the char properties with those from
                          stoves.  Maybe that data is already out
                          there??  <br>
                          <br>
                             Q2.  I think there could be some influence
                          of the initial fuel moisture content.  Do you
                          (anyone) have an opinion on that?   I am
                          trying to avoid having to always measure
                          temperatures, but still be able to give an
                          indication of the "likely" char temperature,
                          by knowing how long a specific volume or
                          weight of fuel lasted.<br>
                          <br>
                             Q3.   I wonder if the char temperature as
                          measured by a thermocouple system like yours
                          would also be a function of the fuel itself 
                          (species, characteristic size, shape, etc.)<br>
                          <br>
                             Q4.  I am pretty sure that the top and
                          bottom char will be significantly different in
                          a typical cooking cycle, where a very high
                          flame temperature is desired at first
                          (affecting only the top part of the fuel
                          load), and then a much lower temperature
                          desired later (affecting only the lowest
                          portion of the fuel load).   My question, for
                          anyone, is whether an average temperature is
                          at all valuable, if the average (obtained from
                          the total duration of the pyrolysis) covered a
                          wide range of production temperatures. 
                          Actually I have heard so many different
                          opinions on the best production temperature -
                          maybe a mixture of char temperatures might be
                          an advantage.  Thoughts?<br>

                      <p><span>It is a very steady gas producer.
                          Conditions are constant except for the
                          distance and path composition between the
                          pyrolysis front and the burner. If it can be

                                 b.   I am surprised that the "pyrolysis
                            gas temperature" was so much lower than the
                            temperature of the char. Where was the probe
                            for this measurement - and had there been
                            some mixing of secondary air at this point?
                          </span></p>
                      </div>
                      <p><span>No mixing of secondary air at that point.
                          That occurs in and above in a 5cm burner
                          mixing pipe.  The tmperature difference is
                          largely due to the nature of unshielded
                          thermocouples in gas.For the most part
                          thermocouples radiate away heat according to
                          the temperatures of the surfaces that make up
                          the sphere around them. A thermocouple buried
                          in the pellets that are all carbonizing at
                          700C will give a fairly accurate measurement.
                          A thermocouple in the gas above the top of the
                          pellet bed will radiate to the pellet bed and,
                          in this case the uninsulated container walls.
                          The more that pellet bed shrinks the larger
                          the portion of the radiant sphere that is the
                          cool container walls. The larger the
                          thermocouple, the greater the radiant cooling
                          , the lower the measurement. The higher the
                          temperature the greater the radiant loss, to
                          the forth power. All the gas is also radiating
                          and convecting heat to the container walls. So
                          there are two reasons for a slow drop in gas
                          temperature, and one reason for not trusting
                          either. The same holds true for the absolute
                          value of  post combustion measurement. <br>

                            pyrometers which shield a thermocouple with
                            ceramic layers that approach gas
                            temperatures and give better numbers. We
