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.

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.

Feb 6, 2016 Supplemental Lighting

 Feb 6, 2016 added supplemental Florescent Lighting to Backyard Kenaf Lignin Removal Invention Test Plants.

Even though this is a window located on the South Side of the House and other plants have flourished in this location.  I didn't feel the plants were getting enough lighting and added a Florescent Grow Light to the area for an additional boost.  

Mar 2, 2016  Kenaf Plants growth progress gif image created with Google Picasa.   

Notes:

1. Cardboard cylinder is a toilet paper roll center that is used to hold the plants upright.  The plants are not exactly growing in optimum conditions in the widow sill.  The stems of the plants do not get the wind that is needed to strengthen the plant stem and the weight of the leaves bends the stems over.
2. A quarter was used for size reference early in the plants growth.
3. The Red Colored lights are not from a Red Grow Light this was caused by a camera setting in a few photos.
4. I planted 6 seeds- 5 sprouted.  I killed 1 attempting to help it rid the seed pod.  I ripped the tender leaves and that plant never recovered and died.  (Don't love your plants to death- Paul Allen) 
5. The majority of the photos are taken in the AM when I am getting a cup of coffee to start the day. 
6. This is also when I turn the supplemental lighting on.
7. Supplemental lighting is generally left on a minimum of 12 hours a day, 7 am to 7 pm.
8. The Grand-kids are marveling at how fast the Kenaf Plants grow (and so am I).  I told the middle child that they will eventually grow taller than us.  They could grow up-to 15 feet tall, which is 4 times as tall as you right now. (Note to self: she doesn't know how tall 15 feet is.  I have to do a better job of comparison)
9. She also asked, "if we are going to eat these plants?"  I replied, "I don't know I guess we could, I've heard of other people eating Kenaf plants.  And read that Kenaf Growers feed the plants to their farm animals."
10. Occasionally, As the Temperature warms the plant tray is taken outside and placed on the Patio so the plants get Natural Sunlight.  I hope to also strengthen the stems by doing this with the natural breeze.
11. I am planning on re-potting the plant starts into bigger pots soon.

Hemp Lignin and Future Energy Storage Devices that Self Heal

Abstract: Superior self-healability and stretchability

 are critical elements for the practical wide-scale adoption of personalized electronics such as portable and wearable energy storage devices. However, the low healing efficiency of self-healable supercapacitors and the small strain of stretchable supercapacitors are fundamentally limited by conventional polyvinyl alcohol-based acidic electrolytes, which are intrinsically neither self-healable nor highly stretchable.

Self-healing performance of the supercapacitor comprising the VSNPs-PAA polyelectrolyte.

Here we report

 an electrolyte comprising polyacrylic acid dual crosslinked by hydrogen bonding and vinyl hybrid silica nanoparticles, which displays all superior functions and provides a solution to the intrinsic self-healability and high stretchability problems of a supercapacitor. 

Supercapacitors with this electrolyte are non-autonomic self-healable, retaining the capacitance completely even after 20 cycles of breaking/healing. 

These supercapacitors are stretched up to 600% strain with enhanced performance using a designed facile electrode fabrication procedure.

Schematics of fabrication strategies for specific functional supercapacitors.

Kenaf Phytoremediation Pot and Property Experiments Tests

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.

Senate Bill 822 Offical Link would allow people with cancer, HIV, AIDS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord damage, inflammatory bowel disease, neuropathies, Huntington’s disease, post-traumatic stress disorder, or certain specified symptoms or complications associated with these conditions, to have access to CBD oil.

The oil must be recommended by a neurologist or physician.

The Department of Health and Senior Services would be required to establish a public registry of physicians and neurologists who recommend hemp extract for the patient’s use.

This is the second year legislation has been filed seeking to expand the number of medical conditions that can be treated with CBD oil in our state.

CBD oil has been shown to reduce nausea and vomiting, suppress seizure activity, and combat inflammatory disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, tumor and cancer cells, and anxiety and depression disorders. Research has also shown that CBD inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells, and has found that CBD can be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune diseases, nausea, bowel disorders and diabetes.

It is important to remember, that unlike THC, the compound in marijuana known for its mind-altering properties, CBD oil does not produce those side effects and is not a psycho-active drug.

There are real medical benefits from CBD oil, something scientists have supported for years. Studies have shown it can be incredibly effective in lessening the severity of symptoms for a whole host of chronic conditions. Legislation has been passed out of this very body, and signed by the governor, allowing those with intractable epilepsy to use CBD extract to help treat their illness. There is no reason to only allow certain patients to benefit from what has been recognized as a legitimate form of treatment. The legislation would allow citizens suffering from cancer, Parkinson’s, and numerous other tragic diseases to have the option of using a natural substance to reduce symptoms.

This measure would require the department to issue a card to a patient who has a recommendation from a physician or neurologist stating they would benefit from treatment with hemp extract. The bill also expands the number of licensed cultivation and production facilities in the state from 2 to 10.
