Development and study on bamboo charcoal production

Abstract

This work aims to report the success of the study on the development of bamboo biochar production and high quality bamboo charcoal. We have published designs of various types of charcoal-kilns that have been created and developed, including 1) “Iwasaki-Kitti Kiln” for learning basic charcoal production processes, which can produce various types of charcoal, cooking charcoal, grilling charcoal, high quality charcoal with a carbon purity higher than 80%. 2) “Khonmai Kiln” for producing bamboo biochar which is suitable for use in Nourish the soil. Pyrolysis process in which combustible gas is used as fuel to burn itself. This makes it possible to reduce the amount of toxic gases released into the atmosphere by more than 80%. 3) “Klongpain Kiln” for producing high quality bamboo charcoal, which is charcoal for health, such as using it to soak in water to make it alkaline, filter drinking water, absorb toxic gases, use as air filters, etc. Dissemination of knowledge and experience in the kilns development and production of bamboo charcoal to farmers who are interested in burning charcoal continuously since 2019 through a discussion group called “KonPuw-Than” in the LINE application, and transferring knowledge through writing the blog on www.gotoknow.org has made the target group of 234 farmers gain knowledge, understanding and see the importance of bamboo charcoal production in the community. Opening a center of bamboo charcoal development study center (BCDSC) for interested parties to visit, study and practice. There are interested people who come to visit. Study visits have been made to the site by 12 groups, totaling approximately 120 people.
