ElectroHemp Phytoremediation Greenhouse Discussion

In addition to the photos below I want to share some of my thoughts about the UCY.TV Radio Network, via the Age of Fission Show, by Ms Lonnie Clark interview today.  As we discussed the various failures of the EPA at so many levels in many States.  Its a wonder they haven't killed us off.

I'm not the greatest public speaker and sometimes it is very difficult for me to stay calm, kool, and collected when its my Neighbors who are suffering.  I hope I made it clear:

•  that 3 out of 5 State and Federal Employee emails I receive: did "NOT" acknowledge off site radiation was happening or happened, in re to Westlake Landfill or Coldwater Creek. {"NOT" corrected 2/23/26.  Our Government Officials "Do Not" acknowledge offsite radiation was happening or happened}

To me that makes me think:

1)  They are instructed to Lie.

2)  They are being fed "misinformation".

3)  They honestly don't know.

• We can fix everyone yards but unless they stop the radiation at the source it will continue to spread toxins.
• With the Teams new findings I believe we are going to be able to detoxify 6 to 8 yards at one time.  If done as a DIY neighborhood project the costs will be affordable.  But before we get too excited about this.  I have a meeting coming up on Mar 31st to talk with the Team's Nuclear Adviser who is in town.  During this meeting we will discuss how best it will be to instruct a community how to save themselves.  Nobody else is going to help.  We are going to have to save ourselves.
• Repoint out: We will be able to detoxify the entire yard at one time.
• Vote for the Science behind: ElectroHemp BioRad Organic Disposal

In the case of 2 and 3 above points to a severe lack of Interagency Communications.  And since this is a Superfund hazardous waste site that falls under EPA, EM, CERCLA rules and doesn't one time mention FUSRAP who have shown "offsite" contamination.  How can one Government Entity not inform the other guys working down the street?  Is our Government that dysfunctional that with such a widespread contamination event- they choose "not to work together" or with other Government Entities?

BioRad Hazardous Waste Cleanup UPdate x2

ElectroHemp is proud to announce: The Teams BioRad Hazardous Waste CleanUP process and system has been referred up the chain to a new contact with the MO DNR!

I am silently wondering if this new contact will acknowledge that off-site nuclear radiation contamination has occurred in the past and continues to do so?

I posted previously: 3 out of 5 State and Federal Employee emails I receive: did "NOT" acknowledge off site radiation was happening or happened, in re to Westlake Landfill or Coldwater Creek.

Hopefully this is a step in the right direction with the Missouri Government.

The team has also been asked to participate in the #KyotoHempForum, learn more about their upcoming event at https://www.facebook.com/HempEnvironmentalForum/

ElectroHemp Hazardous Waste Remediation Intro

ElectroHemp BioRad Hazardous Waste Cleanup Introduction

ElectroHemp - BioRad CleanUp

5 Stage Phytoremediation Treatment Train - Removes Heavy Metals from the Soil faster than phytoremediation alone

Fact: 30,000 Superfund Sites in the USA full of toxic substances which have harmful and negative life changing effects on Human, Animals, and the Natural Environment.

1 in 6 Live Near a Hazmat Location

ElectroHemp BioRad CleanUp is a green remediation implementation strategy and process to clean up Hazmat Locations and Superfund sites in the St Louis Region and beyond.

ElectroHemp Natural and Organic BioRad Hazardous Waste Removal.

1. Phytoremediation
2. Electro-Horticulture
3. Beneficial Soil Microbes
4. Toxic Eating Micro Fungi
5. Contain and Detoxify Soil and Water

5 Stage Treatment Train Speeds Up the Toxic Removal Process

Highlights

• Grow plants that clean soil and are a source of sustainable biomass energy

• Utilize Electro-Horticulture to speed up the movement of heavy metals and toxins within the soil

• Encourage the growth of Microbes and Micro Fungi that aid in eliminating heavy metals and soil toxins

• Address Water Pollution by containment and filtration

• Solar PV and Sustainable Biomass resources provide “on-site” energy needs

Electromigration is the forced movement of Heavy Metals in the Soil by Electrokinetics

KEYS: Electrokinetics directs the heavy metal toxins to a central point where plants phyto-extract the toxins.  Electrokinetics increases soil vitality which allows plants to grow bigger, healthier, and cycle more toxins from the soil.

 In the next post will explain how the 5 stage treatment train- Contains and Controls the harmful nuclear radiation safely.

EKG IN SITU DEWATERING

EKG materials formed as prefabricated vertical drains can increase the speed of consolidation of soft ground by employing electroosmotic flow. This may be used for the purpose of dewatering materials for subsequent excavation or in situ ground improvement prior to developing the site.

Abstract: The ElectroKinetic Remediation Technology (EKRT), when applied to an earthy matrix, is generally targeted to the extraction of one or more pollutants, often inorganic and typically belonging to the category of heavy metals. The technique exploits the effects caused by the application of an electric field for allowing the mobilization of the targeted pollutants, whose displacement is often facilitated by the use of suitable chemicals, which act as complexing agents. The EKRT represents a very promising approach, as it is able to produce results comparable to those of other on/off-site interventions, though with appreciably higher levels of acceptability. Moreover, in spite of expectations (which are substantially based on the high use of energy and consumables), we showed that, once properly configured, the EKRT may represent an excellent choice even when judged based on the environmental sustainability. With the present study, we aim at discussing further the plant configuration, with a special focus on the water management. In fact, as anticipated in our previous communications, the modifications that we implemented in our EKRT approach allow presenting it as an electrochemically-assisted soil flushing. Several are the elements of innovation introduced, which proved to increase the effectiveness of the remediation, but at the price of a potentially very high water (and energy) consumption. It is therefore important to have an advanced water management system, preferably coupled with a reliable wastewater recovery system in order to avoid the waste of water resources, and consequently keep down costs as well as the ecological footprint related with the implementation of this technology, thus maximizing its benefits.

Electro-Horticulture aka: “Electrokinetics

Electro-Horticulture aka: “Electrokinetics is a developing technology that is intended to separate and extract heavy metals, radionuclides, and organic contaminants from saturated or unsaturated soils, sludges and sediments, and groundwater. The goal of electrokinetic remediation is to effect the migration of subsurface contaminants in an imposed electric field via electroosmosis, electromigration and/or electrophoresis. These phenomena occur when the soil is electrically charged with a low voltage current. The fundamental configuration for all three processes involves the application of an electrical potential between electrode pairs that have been implanted....”

Principles of Electrokinetics

When a DC electric field is applied to soil, cations begin to move toward the cathode and anions move toward the anode. Since soil typically has a negative surface charge there are more cations than anions in the pore water (conservation of charge). These extra cations, lined up along the pore walls and moving toward the cathode, drag the pore water along causing a net pore water flow to the cathode that is uniform and predictable. In low permeable soils (clays and silts), this process is much more efficient and thorough than conventional hydraulic based processes. The directional movement through the soil allows for the effective use of in-situ capture and/or reduction zones.  The application of DC The application of DC energy also results in the heating of the soil, which is a bonus when dealing with VOC contamination. The soil heating can be harnessed to assist in the efficient mobilization of DNAPL pools and residuals much like a thermal technology. The combination of heat and pore water movement (flushing) gives electrokinetics (EK) a powerful one-two punch dealing with VOC contamination in low permeable soils: Terran Corporation

Heavy Metal Pollution Nuclear Waste Disposal that Generates Electricity

Diagram ElectroHemp BioRad Hazardous Waste Disposal system that generates Electricity 

I'm going to get honest with this post. I feel that most of the phytoremediation studies and systems fall short on the disposal of the contaminated plant materials which were used to soak up the heavy metals within the plants with or without the assistance of electrokinetics that speed things up.

When the ElectroHemp team was researching and perfecting our system of Heavy Metal removal system- we realized we did not want to add to the growing problem of where to put Radioactive Plant Materials in Long-Term Storage as suggested in 90%+ of all the studies we researched.

There has to be a better way and system for what to do with the toxic plant materials. Since the team is comprised of out-of-the-box thinkers who do not follow those who say it can't be done. We developed the BioRad Disposal tanks that address and solve the Long-Term Storage issue.

Yes, you read that correctly: Long-Term Storage of Radioactive Plant Materials is eliminated with the 5 Stage Hazardous Waste Removal System.

Natural biofilters for toxic metals

The following Science Paper highlights how ElectroHemp Phytoremediation Rafts can be used as Biofilters to clean pollution from water sources.

Phytoremediation Raft Infographic- Plants cycle water toxins when grown on Rafts

a wide variety of agricultural and forestry by products have been used as biosorbents of toxic metals in a bid to develop biofilters for specific applications Electronic Journal of Biotechnology: 

The added benefit of how ElectroHemp equips these rafts with Electrokinetics will actually increase the toxic contamination removal because of the forced migration of the toxins is directed towards the rafts and plants roots which growing on the Phytoremediation Rafts.

ElectroHemp Phytoremediation Raft designs can be designed to remove any number or combination of toxic pollutants found in water sources.

Acacia nilotica bark serves as an adsorbent of toxic metals. Bark (1 g) when added to 100 ml of aqueous solution containing 10 mg ml-1 metal solution exhibited different metal adsorption values for different metals. The order of metal adsorption being Cr > Ni > Cu > Cd> As > Pb. A similar trend of metal adsorption was observed when the bark is reused (1strecycle) Cr > Ni > Cu > Cd > Pb and also in the column-sorption. In order to verify the metal removal property of A. nilotica bark, toxicity bioassay with Salix viminalis stem cuttings in hydroponic system augmented with Cd, Cr and Pb together with A. nilotica bark powder was carried out. The results of toxicity bioassay confirmed the metal adsorption property of the bark powder. The functions of toxicity studies include leaf area, root length and number of new root primordia produced per stump. The leaf area, root length and number of new root primordia increased considerably in the presence of A. nilotica bark. The order of metal toxicity for leaf area and new root primordial is Cd > Cr > Pb. However, for root length the order of metal toxicity is Cr > Cd > Pb. The metal budgets of the leaf and root confirmed that the bark powder had adsorbed substantial amount of toxic metals and thus, alleviates the toxicity imposed by the various tested elements (Prasad et al. 2001).

Quercus ilex L. phytomass from stem, leaf and root as adsorbent of chromium, nickel, copper, cadmium and lead at ambient temperature was investigated. The metal uptake capacity of the root for different metals was found to be in the order of: Ni > Cd > Pb > Cu > Cr; stem Ni > Pb> Cu > Cd > Cr and leaf Ni > Cd > Cu > Pb > Cr. The highest amount adsorbed was Ni (root > leaf > stem). Data from this laboratory demonstrated that Ni is mostly sequestered in the roots where concentrations can be as high as 7.30 nmol/g dry weight, when one year old seedlings were treated with Ni (2000 mg/l) in pot culture experiments, compared to 0.13 nmol/g dry weight, in the control. This proves that the root biomass of Q. ilex has the capacity for complexing Ni. Chromium exhibited the least adsorption values for all the three types of phytomass compared to other metals. The trend of adsorption of the phytomass was similar for nickel and cadmium i.e. root > leaf > stem. Desorption with 10 mM Na2 EDTA was effective (55-90%). Hence, there exists the possibility of recycling the phytomass. The biosorption results of recycled phytomass suggests, that the selected adsorbents are reusable (Prasad and Freitas, 2000).

Contain and Control BioRad 5 Stage Treatment Train

Contain and Control

Are major concerns when dealing with Nuclear Radiation.  

The following table demonstrates the safety avenues used in the BioRad 5 stage treatment train.

ElectroHemp Pilot Study Safety Solutions Table 1 The ElectroHemp Table 1 below demonstrates how ElectroHemp BioRad  5 Stage Treatment Train works as a system and process while addressing the safety and concerns. Concerns Solutions Plant-based biological limitation ElectroHemp System addresses these concerns Low plant tolerance Lack of contaminant translocation from root to Shoot Small size of remediating plants Use plants that tolerate toxins Containment central location is housed in greenhouse or hoophouse, Proper plant species selection and increased soil vitality increases translocation into the plant. If containment was concentrated in the root zone of the plant.  Removing the root systems in a field would require a “potato” type harvesting machine.  In a Greenhouse because of scale Elbow Grease and a Shovel will suffice. Disposal is same as fiber Many plant species are proven Regulatory limitations Phytoremediation & Electro-Horticulture is recognized solution by: EPA, FUSRAP, Governing Bodies, etc Lack of cost and performance data Regulators unfamiliarity with the technology Disposal of contaminated plant waste Risk of food chain contamination Agree Performance Data is lacking.  Disagree Cost has been determined $20,000.  Compared to other treatment systems.  Phytoremediation is the least expensive option. Agree as well as a great percentage of the Public Disposal of Contaminated waste is handled in-situ (on site) in sealed containers. Food chain contamination eliminated with project housed inside hoophouse or greenhouses Other Limitations Limitation Addressed Contaminant beneath root zone Lengthy process Contaminant in biologically unavailable form Lack of remediating plant species ElectroHemp directs the heavy metal toxins to a central point located in a Greenhouse, Hoophouse, Fenced in or protected area- where plants phyto-extract the toxins. Electro-Horticulture increases soil vitality and heavy metal movement- which allows plants to grow bigger, healthier, and cycle more toxins from the soil. By utilizing Indoor Grow operations increases growing opportunities: length of growing seasons and increases the use of plant species not suited to existing climates.   3 plant cycle rotations per year minimum, with the possibilities of 3-6 forage harvest opportunities (dual cutting) bioavailability of heavy metals in soil can also be increased by adding chelating agents such as EDTA, ammonium sulfate, critic acid and elemental sulfur, mulch, and erosion control in addition to Electrokinetics. Hemp, Kenaf, Rape, Sunflowers, and  many other species and strains of plants will perform the needed phytoremediation techniques desired.  Note: Greenhouse/Hoophouse give additional options for greater adoption of plant species.
