Invention UPdate Lignin Test Plants and Robot Farming

Today was a pretty important date times 2, if you are following Scotts Contracting Lignin Removal Test Plants that will be used to test the Lignin Removal Invention.

Scotty has been leaving a breadcrumb trail on this blog and its sister blog on the future aspects that will become an important aspect on not only the Inventions: BioRad Hazardous Waste Removal and Hemp Farming Machinery;  but also future business avenues that will be capitalized and turned into income producing avenues for the company and its shareholders.

Here is why today was a big deal as it relates to Missouri Agribusiness and Robotics (Breadcrumb 1, Breadcrumb 2)  In a prior social media post I highlighted how Tree Planting robots are being used to plant trees.  It is not too much of a stretch of imagination, to see how similar Kenaf Seedlings are very similar to actual Trees check out today's Kenaf Test Plant Animated Images and see how fast these Kenaf Test Plants have come from the early days.

In a few days the transplant experiment will prove how hardy the Kenaf Plants are.  I'll be honest they have not had a luxurious life since they first sprouted in January 2016.  I have purposely let them grow in the little plant trays to demonstrate not only the hardiness of the Kenaf plant; but, also the how easily and carefree they grow.  This semi mimics how adaptable they will be to actual field growing conditions relative to Missouri's Climate.   

I previously stated: 

USE ROBOTS TO PLANT SEEDS FOR PHYTOREMEDIATION ON HAZMAT SOIL AND LAND.  

This eliminates humans coming in contact with Nuclear Rads.  I really like this idea, as a business owner who will have to cover the health hazards of the crew while working on hazmat soils.

MOhemp converts toxic Rads to Clean Energy

Last night while participating in the #STLChat about the Nuclear Contamination of the Westlake Landfill was just the break I needed. 

The time spent not absorbed on the green remediation plan allowed my mind to put the remaining pieces of the 5 Stage Phytoremediation project in place.

The end goal has always been to create clean energy from the Biomass resources.  Which under normal circumstances could be done fairly easily.

With the addition of adding Electrokinetics which increases both the heavy metal movement in the soil and phytoremediation of heavy metal uptake in the plants was going to eliminate any Biomass end use due to the advanced heavy metal absorption within the plant.

That had previously left me in a quandary.  I wasn't for sure on what to do with all the toxic plant matter - burning it for fuel was not an option, as it would have once again turned the nuclear radiation airborne.

Through hours of research, a few hints from the University of Missouri, and believe it or not a kids science fair project- sparked the idea which aligned the final end use of the phytoremediation plants and allows MOhemp to turn these toxic nuclear radiation molecules into a clean energy source of electricity!

This process also renders the Nuclear Toxins inert and non toxic!

Stay tuned for more details!

The landfill is divided into multiple sectors, within which are two operable units (OU), OU-1 and OU-2.  In addition to the radioactivity from the dumped barium sulfate cake, soil samples also indicate the presence of many more radioactive materials, including uranium, thorium, and elements resulting from their decay.

• OU-1 covers 940 cubic yards (720 m3) on the surface (based on soil depth of 6 inches or 150 millimetres) and 24,000 cubic yards (18,000 m3) subsurface

• OU-2 covers 8,700 cubic yards (6,700 m3) on the surface and 109,000 cubic yards (83,000 m3) subsurface

MOhemp Hazmat 5 Stage Treatment Train

Here is how MOhemp Hazmat 5 stage Phytoremediation process fits another scenario in the Treatment Train to remove the heavy metal toxins from the soil at St Louis Hazmat Sites.

This snippet of information from 

Phytoremediation for bioenergy: challenges and opportunities S.Gomes

Helena I. Gomes (2012) Phytoremediation for bioenergy: challenges and opportunities

 MOhemp Hazmat 5 stage process not only addresses the opportunities and threats.  It speeds up the phytoextraction process of Heavy Metals Toxic Removal.

Stage 1: Riparian Buffer
Stage 2: Organic Micro Fungi Stimulation and Habitat Creation
Stage 3: Solar Powered Electro-Horticulture 
Stage 4: Organic Tea Root Stimulation and Dust Control
Stage 5: Phytoremediation by Phytoextraction

All of which will provide a greater biomass resources that will offset the financial costs to implement the MOhemp Hazmat 5 Stage Phytoremediation green remediation treatment strategy.

West Lake story: An underground fire, radioactive waste, and governmental failure

West Lake story: An underground fire, radioactive waste, and governmental failure: On July 16, 1973, 28 years to the day after the first nuclear weapon was exploded at Alamogordo, New Mexico, a line of dump trucks containing the detritus from the uranium used to make plutonium for the test bomb showed up at the West Lake landfill in Bridgeton, Missouri. Assuming the trucks were loaded with clean fill, the landfill superintendent waved them through without charging a dumping fee.

Manhattan Project Nuclear Waste Shipping Container 

A truck driver said later that he and others used the black stuff in their home gardens.

Previously Undisclosed Radioactive Dump Site Location in the StLouis Region

By October several thousand shipments were illegally dumped at the landfill in north St Louis

Green had worked from 1946 until about 1958 for several small trucking companies that hauled materials for Mallinckrodt Chemical Works in north St. Louis. The company processed uranium for the federal government under contract to the Atomic Energy Commission.

Back to the Article  West Lake story: An underground fire, radioactive waste, and governmental failure

  It’s not far-fetched to conclude that there are parallels between the West Lake waste problem—created and exacerbated by decades of negligence and denial by the US nuclear weapons program and the agencies responsible for protecting people from its harmful legacy—and the disaster in Flint, Michigan, where citizens have been poisoned by lead-laced drinking water, and their public officials have been slow to respond. In fact, on January 27, the editorial board of the St. Louis Post Dispatch explicitly pointed out those parallels, concluding that “too often, people without power and clout don’t count with government officials. A parallel situation exists here with Bridgeton’s West Lake landfill... After seeing what happened in Flint, it comes as no surprise that they doubt government’s will to find a permanent solution.”

Responsibility for the radioactive legacy in north St. Louis County rests squarely on the US government, because the problem there was born of production of the first nuclear weapons. At minimum, the first order of business should be for the Corps of Engineers to remove as much of the West Lake landfill wastes as possible and contain the rest, to protect nearby communities and the drinking water they draw from the Missouri River.

CLU-IN Phytoremediation Risk Assessment

While taking the Health Assesment Webinar presented by CLU-IN today I was referred to Phytotechnology  Technical and Regulatory 

 Guidance and Decision Trees, Revised

I was pleasantly surprised to see the plan I have been working on meets the criteria.  Without knowing all the fancy words such as:  phytotechnologies that will both contain and remediate the soil and water toxins.

The MOhemp Hazmat crew is currently 

Testing and experimenting on and for numerous things that deal with removing heavy metals from the soil.  The basis for the experiment is Phytoremediation by Phytorextraction.

CLU-IN suggested this information,

 notice that my plans adhere to their

 guidenace minus the trees

Phytotechnology  Technical and Regulatory Guidance and Decision Trees

To enhance the phytoextraction capabilities, several strategies have been attempted. Lead can be made much more bioavailable with the addition of chelating agents such as ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) to soils (Schnoor 1997). Similarly, a considerable body of information exists on the uptake of radionuclides into plants, including laboratory and field studies where radionuclides from nuclear weapons complexes or test sites have been transferred into plants. Specifically, the availability of uranium and radio-cesium 137 has been enhanced using citric acid and ammonium nitrate, respectively (Dodge and Francis 1997, Riesen and Bruner 1996). However, adding these enhancing agents also increases the inherent risks associated with the application since they can also mobilize target contaminants and other constituents deeper into the soil or into groundwater. This is a decision factor to consider when selecting this phytotechnology application as the site remedy (see Section 2.3). Furthermore, the timing of the application should be thoroughly designed, planned, and managed during implementation (see Section 2.4).  [Phytotechnology Technical and Regulatory Guidance and Decision 

Trees, Revised pg 40]

The applications of phytotechnologies that combine containment with remediation include covers that stabilize soils and phytoremediate contaminants, tree stands that create a hydraulic barrier while remediating impacted soil and groundwater, constructed wetland treatment systems, and riparian buffers.[Phytotechnology Technical and Regulatory Guidance and Decision 

Trees, Revised pg 36]

Toxic Lead in StLouis Yard?

MOhemp Hazmat Team has natural solutions to remove the Lead and Heavy Metal Toxins from your St Louis property.

The MOhemp Hazmat Team wants to help you get rid of these toxins from your soil.  Drop us a line by email or contact us via the contact form on the website.

This natural solution to remove Lead and Heavy Metal Toxins from the soil is called Phytoremediation.

Phytoremediation is a big word for that basically means how plants remove the soil toxins by cycling them into the plant while it is growing in contaminated soil.  Phytoremediation is the Natural Way that plants can be used to remove the soil toxins from the land.

There are a few plants that can be used to extract the heavy metals from the soil.

While the Missouri and Federal Government is making up its mind on whether to allow Industrial Hemp to be grown in the USA.  MOhemp Energy is utilizing a sister of the Industrial Hemp plant called Kenaf to phytoremediate the soil toxins.

Kenaf is the legal to grow in the USA strain of Cannabis plant that has many of the same qualities of the Hemp plant.  

That is why MOhemp Energy is conducting the Kenaf for Phytoremediation of Heavy Metals experiments and testing in St Louis.  

The future plans of the MOhemp Hazmat team will be crew that is comprised of USA Military Veterans. 

Read more about how MOhemp Hazmat will be employing USA Military Veterans!

Source: Phytoremediation has been increasingly used as a more sustainable approach for the remediation of contaminated sites. The costs associated with this remediation method are usually lower than other well-known remediation technologies and some environmental impacts, like atmospheric emissions and waste generation, are inexistent. The biomass produced in phytoremediation could be economically valorized in the form of bioenergy (biogas, biofuels and combustion for energy production and heating), representing an important environmental co-benefit, added to others such as erosion control, improving soil quality and functionality, and providing wildlife habitat. Several case studies are reviewed and some challenges and opportunities identified.

The Kenaf Seeds arrived today

 for the Phytoremediation Heavy Metal test plots and Pot Greenhouse Test experiments.

Phytoremediation with Kenaf testing to begin soon

In a prior post I mentioned the Kenaf Phytoremediation Heavy Metal Experiment Planned in St Louis, since that original post.  The MOhemp Hazmat Team has received 3 requests for testing for the removal of heavy metal contamination.   Of the three phytoremediation locations in the St Louis Region.  Two of these test plots have radioactive soil and the third test plot is contaminated with Heavy Metals and Lead.

With a little help from Mother Natures assistance we are going to right the wrongs that mankind has done to the soil of the Earth and prove that plants can be used to clean up Toxic Soils!

The Kenaf Seeds were ordered off Ebay and supplied by: HappyMan467 and 3yoon22.

Seed Planting Robots Phytoremediation Hazmat Soil

Phyto-Robots is a branch of the technology that ElectroHemp Phyto-Science Team will be developing.

Use robots to plant seeds for phytoremediation on hazmat soil and land.  

This eliminates humans coming in contact with Nuclear Rads.  

I really like this idea, as a business owner who will have to cover the health hazards of the crew while working on hazmat soils.

Kenaf Phytoremediation Heavy Metal Experiment Planned in St Louis

I just placed an order for Kenaf Seeds for a few test plots

and experiment project with David Wechsler.

 We will be testing and experimenting on and for numerous

 things that deal with removing heavy metals from soil.

The basis for the experiment is phytoremediation by 

phytoextraction. 

 

• David has a proven way to increase plant growth through "Electro-Horticulture" see more below.

• I will be doing R&D on a Lignin Removal process

MOhemp Energy Lignin Removal Station and Process

• as well as working on my theory that: Electroculture which is also called electro-horticulture  will draw more toxins to the roots of a Kenaf Plant that can then cycle the toxins from the soil by Phytoextraction.

The two types of Kenaf Strains chosen for this project experiment are:

• 8234 strain, white flowers and mother plants from this seed were grown on largest kenaf fields for over 30 years in China
• Red Sabdariffa -Thai Roselle- -Herbal Fruit - Organic Herb - Flower 

The above mentioned leaders of the Kenaf phytoremediation experiment are also the founding members of the MOhemp Energy Green Hazmat Team that offer services to St Louis residents and businesses a less expensive monetary solution for removing heavy metals from the soil.
