Abstract
About this talk
Current “Ecosphere – technology” conflict stems from a chemical, environmental and agricultural management outdated technological platform. The platform basis is a simplified attempt in imitating natural phenomena in technology. A standard chemical-technological system hierarchy defines a priority level its own technological waste disposal as low, and waste becomes an ecosphere chemical-technological load. Poor soil geophysical system and fertility under the uncontrolled chemical waste deposition reduces the soil productivity and ecosphere health and sustainability.
A critical reassessing of the land and water use, waste recycling technologies, environment and agronomy practice is needed to eliminate shortcomings and configure a future sustainable environmentally sound chemical-soil-biological engineering.
Using a heuristic approach to understand an origin of an environmentally sound technological development niche, we developed the chemical-soil-biological engineering (CSBE) methodology and Biogeosystem Technique (BGT*) methodology.
The CSBE-BGT* objects are: main product chemical-technological system; devices for improving the geophysical and geochemical properties of soil by synthesizing the structure and architecture of its illuvial layer for the biological-soil recycling of bulk or granular by-product; pulsed intra-soil sequential-discrete devices for recycling of liquid by-product and/or soil moistening and plant nutrition; and an environmentally friendly biological production.
CSBE-BGT* is capable in providing: a main chemical product full-waste-free technology; a dispersed by-products recycling within the synthesized fine-aggregate architecture of the soil inner layer for a plants favorable development; and a food, fodder and row material economic use of the biological production obtained on the synthesized soil.
BGT* applies nature phenomena creating a nature-friendly technical means and technologies for a long-term soil geophysical, chemical, water and biological properties optimization. The BGT* based one time 20–50 cm layer intra-soil milling provides a stable soil fine multilevel aggregate system improving a soil biome function for up to 40 years. The BGT* based intra-soil pulse continuous-discrete watering reduces a plant water consumption circa 5–20 times compared to the standard irrigation. BGT* based municipal, industrial waste and gasification byproduct intra-soil dispersed recycling in a course of 20–50 cm soil layer milling provides soil solution equilibria control, heavy metals passivation, environmental safety and plant nutrition. Using BGT* methodology, the yield becomes higher for 50–80% compared to standard technology. BGT* methodology promotes the soil system continuity, reinforces soil biogeochemical turnover, ensures reversible carbon intra-soil and aboveground biological sequestration, biosphere health and climate system sustainability.
There is a strong need to use a CSBE-BGT* in chemical-biological engineering theory and practice. The CSBE-BGT* helps in understanding the new world chemical engineering development niche. The CSBE -BGT* expands the environment, soil science, agronomy, irrigation, waste recycling fields as well as the corresponding new technical equipment design and manufacturing. The CSBE-BGT* provides a practical solution to a friendly environment synthesis and make a designer’s job more efficient focusing on the new high level developments improving the accuracy of a design. The CSBE-BGT* methodology provides new information to assist in a design problem.
CSBE-BGT* is a circular green chemistry waste free environment friendly and biosphere high quality, productivity and health platform shaping a sustainable future.
