HUSK CHARCOAL

Is one of the end products and other benefits of rice crops, with a simple processing, that can prepare and produce charcoal husk rich in benefits and usefulness.
Chaff or Charcoal Husk can be used as a mixture of planting media and as a pure planting medium (without mix) and as a hydroponic planting medium.

NUTRITIONAL CONCEPTS AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION

Charcoal husk is a very good planting medium because it has a very complete micro and macro nutrient content and other chemical composition needed by plants such as: Water Content (8.73%) Crude Protein (3.74%) Fat (1.38%) Fiber Rough (21.28%) Ash (15%) Carbihydrate (20%) Charcoal (1.5%) Hydrogen (1.4%) Oxygen (17.5%) Silica (8.97%)

USE OF CERTIFICATES AS A PLANT MEDIA

• Keep the soil condition loose because it has high porosity and lightness.
• Encourage the growth of micro organisms and bacteria that are useful for plants.
• Set the pH and keep the soil moisture under certain conditions.
• Fertilize soil and plants so that crop production increases.
• As an absorbance to suppress the number of pathogenic microbes.
• Increases absorption and soil binding capacity to water.
• As a medium of planting Hydroponics

HOW TO MAKE HUSK CHARCOAL

MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENTS

• Dry husk (as needed)
• Shovel
• Pipe or metal slab (zinc) which can be rolled up into cylindrical shape
• Small branches as a source of fire

---

---

COMBUSTED STEPS

• Hole around the pipe or zinc coil with the distance between the holes approximately 5 cm and the hole diameter of about 5 mm

• Fry a wooden branch that has been cut in short to be easily directed to the middle of the cylinder circle, as the flame trigger may use a little oil or used oil (I do not use it so that the final product is not contaminated, instead of oil, I use small wood pieces as a trigger of fire)

• Place the cylinder circling the position of the source of fire (fire position right in the middle of the pipe)

---

---

• Arrange the dry husk encircling the pipe's position until it is cone-shaped, so the flame by itself will also burn the husk that is right on the side of the pipe (cylinder)

---

---

• Moments later the top of the side of the pipe (cylinder) will look blackened by burning, so that the combustion process is more perfect raise the chaff that is at the bottom of the pile by using a shovel toward the middle of the circle or the top of the cone

---

---

• Perform this process repeatedly in a periodic time

---

---

• After the husk appears to have burned about 95%, do the watering so that the husk does not turn to ash due to excessive combustion

---

THIS IS THE RESULT

---

---

• Dry in the sun for a while, Charcoal husk is ready for use, if you want to keep it for a long time, drying is done longer, so that the husk is completely dry from the remaining water due to watering.

CAUTION :

Burn the Husk in a place away from the crowd or dense housing, because when the combustion procession will usually release thick smoke
