Use of Activated Carbon in the Production of Organic Liquid Fertilisers and in Agriculture

The use of activated carbon in the production of organic liquid fertiliser is a method of producing organic fertiliser that supports the growth and development of plants. Activated carbon absorbs organic matter, which increases the efficiency of the fertiliser and makes it easier for plants to absorb the nutrients present in the soil. In addition, the use of activated carbon also regulates the pH value of the soil. Therefore, the use of activated carbon in the production of liquid organic fertiliser is an important method for plant cultivation.

Liquid organic fertiliser is a type of fertiliser used for plant nutrition and occupies an important place in plant cultivation. Organic fertiliser is a mixture of animal manure, plant residues and various microorganisms.

Organic liquid fertiliser contains the nutrients that plants need and increases the growth, development and productivity of plants. It also nourishes the soil and improves soil structure. Organic fertilisers are less harmful to the environment than chemical fertilisers and can nourish the soil and plants for longer.

Liquid organic fertiliser with activated carbon has become very popular in organic farming and horticulture in recent years. This fertiliser is obtained by fermentation of organic material and treatment with activated carbon. The demand for this type of fertiliser is increasing worldwide day by day.

Benefits of organic liquid fertiliser with activated carbon:

Improves soil quality: organic liquid fertiliser with activated carbon improves soil quality by increasing the amount of organic matter in the soil.
Increases plant growth: This fertiliser contains the nutrients required for plant growth and promotes plant growth.
It is environmentally friendly as it is a natural fertiliser: Liquid organic fertiliser with activated carbon is environmentally friendly and does not harm the soil, unlike chemical fertilisers.
Increases the resistance of plants: This fertiliser increases the resistance of plants to diseases and pests.
Ensures food safety: Liquid organic fertiliser with activated carbon ensures that organically grown produce is healthier and more natural.

Organic liquid fertilisers with activated carbon are a type of natural fertiliser that supports the growth and development of plants. Organic liquid fertilisers with activated carbon contain the nutrients required by plants together with other natural ingredients such as humic acid, fulvic acid, amino acids, enzymes and other plant growth factors.

In the production of organic liquid fertiliser, activated carbon is often used in the fermentation phase. There are several methods for using activated carbon at this stage:

Mixing activated carbon directly into the material: The activated carbon is added to the organic materials in the fermentation tank and distributed evenly throughout the materials.
Adding activated carbon to the materials in the bag: The activated carbon is added to the materials in the bag and placed in the fermentation tank. With this method, the effect of the activated carbon in the materials is slower, but it is distributed more evenly in the materials.
Spray the materials with activated charcoal by mixing it with water: The activated charcoal is mixed with water, turned into liquid and sprayed onto the organic materials in the fermentation tank. With this method, the activated charcoal takes effect more quickly and is distributed more evenly over the materials.

The use of activated carbon offers several advantages in the production of organic liquid fertiliser. Activated carbon removes bad odours and toxic substances from the materials, improves the quality of the organic fertiliser and promotes plant growth.

Activated carbon is an additive used in the production of organic liquid fertiliser. The purpose of this substance is to adsorb harmful gases produced during the decomposition of organic materials.

The production of organic liquid fertiliser generally takes place in three stages. The first stage is the fermentation stage, in which organic material is decomposed. In this stage, activated carbon is used to absorb gases.

The second stage is the filtration stage. In this stage, the liquid fertiliser is filtered to remove particles and activated carbon can be used.

The final stage is the storage and utilisation stage. In this phase, the liquid organic fertiliser is stored and later used for the plants. Activated charcoal can also be used during storage and prevents the fertiliser from spoiling so that it can be used for a longer period of time.

You can follow the steps below to make liquid organic fertiliser with activated charcoal:

Selection of activated carbon: The first step is to select the appropriate activated carbon. Activated carbon is a type of carbon with a large surface area and adsorption capacity. Activated carbon suitable for agricultural applications is usually obtained from natural sources such as coconut shells, charcoal, acorn shells or bamboo.
Preparation of liquid organic fertiliser: To produce liquid organic fertiliser, organic materials (fruit and vegetable waste, animal manure, etc.) are mixed with water and left to ferment. The fermentation process breaks down organic material in a natural way, resulting in a nutrient-rich organic liquid fertiliser.
Addition of activated carbon: When preparing organic liquid fertiliser, an appropriate amount of activated carbon is added to the mixture. The amount of activated carbon may vary depending on the amount of organic liquid fertiliser and the intended use. In general, it is recommended that liquid organic fertiliser contains between 1% and 5% activated carbon.
Mixing the blend: Liquid organic fertiliser with activated carbon should be mixed well to ensure that the activated carbon adsorbs the organic matter. This facilitates the homogeneous distribution of the activated carbon with the liquid organic fertiliser and the adsorption of the organic substances.
Filtration: The mixture is separated from the activated carbon by the filtration process. This ensures that the activated carbon only adsorbs the organic substances and the nutrient-rich components of the liquid organic fertiliser are retained.

Organic liquid fertiliser with activated carbon increases soil fertility as it adsorbs pollutants in the soil together with organic material and nutrients that stimulate plant growth.

The amount of activated carbon may vary depending on the amount of organic liquid fertiliser, the level of contamination and the intended use. Using an appropriate amount of activated carbon can improve the quality of the organic liquid fertiliser and contribute to better absorption of plant nutrients.

There are various methods for distributing activated charcoal evenly:

If the method of mixing activated carbon into the material is to be used, the mixing must be done well. This is important for a homogeneous distribution of the material and the activated carbon.
If the activated carbon is added to the materials in the bag, the activated carbon and materials may need to be mixed well beforehand. This ensures that the activated carbon is evenly distributed in the materials.
When using the method of mixing activated carbon with water and spraying it onto the materials, the activated carbon must be homogeneously distributed when mixed with water. Special mixers or pump systems can be used for this purpose.
Another method for homogeneous distribution of activated carbon is filtration. The mixture of activated carbon and material is filtered through special filters or sieves. This ensures that the activated carbon is evenly distributed in the material and that bad odors and toxic substances are also filtered out.

Homogeneous distribution of activated carbon is important for the quality and efficiency of the production of organic liquid fertilizer. Therefore, the application method and process must be carefully planned and executed.

Activated carbon is a material used in an important step of fertilizer production. Activated carbon primarily removes organic matter, which improves the quality of the fertilizer produced. Activated carbon can also help to accelerate biochemical processes such as nitrification and denitrification. This reduces the nitrate and nitrite concentration in the fertilizer produced, making it plant-friendly.

Activated carbon also plays an important role in controlling the odor of the fertilizer in the production of organic liquid fertilizer. Activated carbon prevents the formation of bad odors by adsorbing odor-causing compounds such as ammonia, indole and skatole in the manure. This prevents workers in the composting plants and people in the surrounding area from being affected by unpleasant odors.

Activated carbon is used in various ways in the production of organic liquid fertilizer and water purification. In the production of organic liquid fertilizer, the activated carbon is added directly to the fertilizer and mixed. In this way, the activated carbon absorbs the fertilizer and provides odor control. In water treatment, activated carbon is used in a system that filters water. In this system, the water is passed over activated carbon to absorb pollutants and organic substances.

Therefore, activated carbon can be used as an effective material for odor control and water purification in the production of organic liquid fertilizer. In these applications, it is important to use the activated carbon correctly and to replace it regularly.

Activated carbon liquid fertilizer can be used as follows:

Horticulture: organic liquid fertilizers with activated carbon are used to support the growth and development of horticultural plants. They can be used for vegetables, fruits, flowers and other plants.
Agricultural products: Organic liquid fertilizers with activated carbon can be used to support the growth and development of agricultural products. These fertilizers increase the productivity of agricultural products and also help to control plant diseases and pests.
Lawns: Organic liquid fertilizers with activated carbon can be used to keep lawns healthy and green. These fertilizers strengthen the grass roots and make the grass grow faster.
Non-agricultural uses: Organic liquid fertilizers with activated carbon can be used in forests, parks, pastures and other non-agricultural areas. In these areas, they can support the healthy growth and development of plants.

The benefits of activated charcoal are:

Removes bad odors: activated charcoal is very effective in removing bad odors in organic materials. This helps to eliminate unpleasant odors in the production of organic fertilizer.
Removes toxic substances: Activated carbon removes toxic substances in organic materials. This makes organic fertilizers safer and healthier.
It improves water quality: Because activated carbon removes toxic substances from organic materials, it prevents the contamination of water resources when liquid organic fertilizers are applied to agricultural fields.
It increases the quality of organic fertilizer: As activated carbon removes bad odors and toxic substances in organic materials, it increases the quality of organic fertilizer. This promotes plant growth and helps to grow healthier plants.

Activated carbon is a material that is often used to increase soil fertility, especially in organic farming. It can also increase plant growth and protect plant health by reducing the uptake of heavy metals and toxins into the soil.

Activated carbon can be sprinkled on the top layer of soil or applied together with liquid organic fertilizer. If it is applied to the soil surface, it should form a layer about 1 cm thick. If it is used together with organic liquid fertilizer, the organic liquid fertilizer is applied to the soil first and then the activated charcoal is added.

When activated charcoal is applied to the soil, it helps the soil to maintain its moisture level by increasing its water retention capacity. This meets the plants' water requirements and increases plant growth. In addition, activated carbon increases soil aeration and improves soil structure. This allows the plant roots to go deeper and absorb more nutrients.

In combination with organic liquid fertilizer, the positive effects of activated charcoal are further enhanced. The organic liquid fertilizer provides the nutrients that the plants need, and the activated carbon makes it easier for the plants to access the nutrients by preventing them from seeping into the lower soil layers. In addition, activated carbon protects plant health by preventing the pollutants contained in the organic liquid fertilizer from being absorbed into the soil.

Activated carbon is a useful material for increasing soil fertility in organic farming. It can be sprinkled on the soil surface or used together with organic liquid fertilizer. In combination with organic liquid fertilizer, the positive effects on plant growth and health are further enhanced.

Activated carbon is generally used in powder form in agriculture. Powdered activated carbon is an effective means of increasing soil fertility, as it prevents the destruction of organic matter in the soil.

Powdered activated carbon can be sprinkled on the top layer of the soil or applied together with liquid organic fertilizer. When scattered on the soil, the powdered activated carbon must be thoroughly mixed with the soil to distribute it evenly. It is also recommended to apply the powdered activated carbon to a moist soil so that it can adhere to the soil.

When used with organic liquid fertilizer, powdered activated carbon can be mixed with the organic liquid fertilizer first or sprinkled over the organic liquid fertilizer.

In general, activated carbon in powder form is most commonly used in agriculture. However, depending on the intended use, other forms of activated carbon can also be used.
