台灣的農民每年修剪果樹的樹枝、葡萄藤等約有200萬公噸，過去都是做為燃料，後來因為瓦斯普及，農民不知如何處理，就亂堆亂燒造成環境的傷害。為了這些廢棄物再生利用，可使用本人研發的「限氧燜燒炭化」的技術製成「生物炭」，回歸到農田，能改善酸化的土壤及提供鉀肥等功能，炭化過程中產生的煙霧，經乾餾冷卻收集後，可製成「木酢液」，具有殺菌、除臭、替代農藥減半的效果，也可調製成營養液和無毒的自然農藥。這套設備簡單費用低廉，容易操作，值得推廣。
規劃將本人目前的葡萄藤炭化試驗場，擴大為社區炭化處理場，並作為台灣炭化教育訓練場，向農民推廣「循環農業」。如此可以處理修剪下來的樹枝、葡萄藤，改善農村生活環境，又可減少使用化學農藥，進而推行友善耕作、有機栽培，讓地球的資源生生不息。

Farmers in Taiwan prune about 2 million metric tons of branches and vines of fruit trees each year. They were used as fuel in the past. Later, because of the widespread use of gas, farmers didn't know how to deal with them, and they burned indiscriminately, causing environmental damage. In order to recycle these wastes, the "oxygen-limited carbonization" technology developed by me can be used to make "biochar", which can be returned to the farmland to improve the acidified soil and provide potash fertilizer. After being retorted, cooled and collected, the smoke generated during the carbonization process can be made into "wood vinegar ", which has the effect of sterilizing, deodorizing, and reducing pesticide replacement by half. It can also be made into nutrient solution and non-toxic natural pesticides. This set of equipment is simple, low cost, easy to operate, and worthy of promotion.
I plan to expand my current vine carbonization test site into a community carbonization treatment site, and serve as a Taiwan carbonization education training center to promoting"circular agriculture" to farmers. In this way, the pruned branches and vines can be processed, and the rural living environment can be improved. At the same time, the use of chemical pesticides can be reduced, and friendly farming and organic cultivation can be promoted, so that the earth's resources can continue to flourish.

壹、如何誕生
六十年前從日本引進巨峰葡萄在彰化縣大村鄉試種，在祖父輩的老農們辛苦努力栽種管理下，加上氣候、土壤適合的優勢，迅速擴大栽種面積。而後在台中區農業改良場林嘉興技正指導修剪枝條的技術，讓巨峰葡萄由原本的一年一收成為一年二收，大大增加了葡萄農的收入。農家也利用修剪下來的葡萄藤枝條做為廚房爐灶的燃料，燃燒剩下的灰燼，混合堆肥回歸到葡萄園或作為稻子育秧苗的開根肥，可以說是農村資源循環再生利用的生活型態，當時的農村幾乎是零農業廢棄物的時代。
1960年代後農民開始大量使用化學肥料、農藥，這兩樣工業產品的方便性帶給農村物產豐富，大大的改善了農民的生活。三十年前本人在台灣英文雜誌社上班，看到漢聲雜誌第十七、十八期報導食品添加劑和農藥殘留等食安問題，讓農家子弟的我內心深處起了很大的漣漪和震撼。下班之餘就經常接觸葡萄農，暸解使用化學農藥的情形，發現很多葡萄農對於農藥的使用一知半解，大都只是聽從農藥商的介紹使用。再深入田間調查後發現農民為了增加防治效果，不依稀釋倍數使用，有時會多加一些農藥而造成農藥殘留超標而不知，甚至少數果農使用到含汞、禁藥等情形。調查過程中更意外的發現很多果農患有胃病、肝病。1994年葡萄被衛生單位驗出使用禁藥（大富丹)，造成消費者對國產葡萄的恐慌而使得葡萄滯銷了好幾年。
後來瓦斯逐漸普及，農家漸漸使用瓦斯爐取代傳統爐灶，修剪後的葡萄藤不知如何再利用，就被果農亂丟到田邊、休耕田地、河岸、路旁、墓地等地方。待枯乾後放火燒掉，其中還混雜了許多的塑膠垃圾，幾乎每年都發生雜草和葡萄藤枝條引起的火災，造成環境和空氣的汙染。身為農家子弟的我，暸解真相愈多愈無心在外地工作，1986年毅然決然辭去工作，回到家鄉管理三分地的葡萄園，投入葡萄有機栽培的研究，透過田間實作的過程中去觀察葡萄生長的變化及思考如何不使用化學肥料、農藥、除草劑等的栽培技術，當時常利用晚上開燈觀察蟲害的情形，加上滿園雜草叢生，那陣子常被鄉親誤認為是瘋子，很多葡萄農都認為我不用農藥的管理方法是不可行的，都說我是傻瓜。當時因收入驟減，又購買資材和設備，搞得舉債度日，一度想要放棄，但是又不死心，不甘願三年的研究付諸流水。還好當時有一個很好的機緣到日本大仁農場研修自然農法，得知日本已經推行自然農法三十多年了，這樣的機緣讓我更堅定一定要替家鄉做這件有意義的事。
在這期間我回想起祖父教我篩灰燼育秧苗作為開根肥，種員林椪柑頗負盛名的外公，利用樹枝、竹子燒炭做肥料，讓他種的椪柑最為香甜。外婆利用炭灰和堆肥種出好吃的木瓜，母親用炭灰作為洗碗的清潔劑，用砂和木炭來過濾水，這幾位長輩的教導，加上小時候蹲在傳統爐灶前幫忙燒材的經驗，讓我摸索出利用葡萄藤枝條炭化的技術，後來更研發出利用『限氧燜燒炭化』的技術，在過程中將煙霧冷卻後收集醋酸，調製成促進開花結果的液肥與無毒的自然農藥，終於建構出有機葡萄的栽種管理模式。並在1993年台中區農業改良場『永續農業研討會』中發表，獲得廣大廻響。周清玉老縣長曾蒞臨葡萄園參觀，也在黃石城老縣長的引薦下，當時的李登輝總統經常直接訂購送禮的葡萄。國內外很多長官學者經常蒞臨葡萄園參觀指導。
目前的農家已經很少使用爐灶，早期被當作燃料的寶物大家搶著要，現在已經變成廢棄物沒人要。除了葡萄藤枝條、經常要修剪的果樹如番石榴、芒果、龍眼、荔枝、蓮霧、柑橘、棗子、釋迦等和工廠廢棄木塊料、棧板等這些也造成了環境凌亂不潔的亂象。
以大村鄉為例，葡萄藤枝條廢棄物每年大約250公噸，鄉長想解決，購置破碎設備做為堆肥化處理，因堆放後久未腐化而作罷，現今鄉公所改為破碎後當作家庭垃圾送到溪州焚化爐，被禁止。因政府禁止農民燃燒葡萄藤枝條，去年回收葡萄藤枝條暴增，一期破碎未完，二期的只好收集堆放到公墓旁，2009年1月26日葡萄藤堆放場發生重大的火災。『循環農業』―『有機栽培』有一個關鍵技術就是把廢棄物炭化再利用的原理要活用。目前大村鄉可以做為炭化物的原物料量種類很多，尤其是葡萄藤枝條一年兩次的修剪是炭化的原物料，量多又源源不絕的，希望能再次為家鄉做一件有意義又可以利益大眾的事。

貳、執行構想
葡萄藤燜燒炭化處理技術，這是三十年前本人研究的成果，希望替家鄉建立『循環農業』的架構，這些年來經過無數次的操作與應用到田間栽種的經驗，證實是簡單可行的。當時的時空背景不易推行，因為政府與農民未覺醒，白白浪費三十年的時間。現今有空汙問題、垃圾問題、環境衛生問題、農藥殘留食安問題、農地汙染問題，加上現在的民眾重視環保、生產履歷、食物來源等因素，若能藉此參賽推廣並將有機栽培、環保農業、健康農業、永續農業的觀念與做法結合成『循環農業』
葡萄藤的特性是粗纖維素很高，不易腐化，不適合用堆肥化處理。而用燜燒炭化處理，應用粗糠填補空隙，即可繼續燜燒而不中斷，只要8至48小時，製成的生物炭可做為酸化土壤的改良劑等作用；產生的煙霧乾餾冷卻收集後再製成木酢液，具有消炎、殺菌、除臭、植物生長營養液、替代農藥減半等效果。
燜燒炭化技術是簡單、易學、操作方便、實用，設備成本低，值得推廣。
農業廢棄物產值偏低，而葡萄藤蓬鬆集運成本高，不適合作長距離運送，在葡萄主要產區做區域整合執行比較容易可行。

叁、炭化的方式與應用
葡萄藤炭化是應用簡單的科學原理，將空氣力學、熱氣上升、限氧燜燒、乾餾冷卻、水冷卻、靜置沉澱、空氣旋流上升整合串聯，建立『限氧燜燒炭化』技術，以收集醋酸為主，副產品生物炭。收集醋酸後再處理成為精製木醋液，可應用做為農藥減半的添加劑或調製成促進開花結果的營養劑；浸泡辣椒、到手香、苦茶粕、小花蔓澤蘭等成為無毒的自然農藥等，對付荔枝椿象已實驗三年，證實有很好的成效。其他用途如:製作防蚊液、防臭液、手工皂、垃圾車的消臭液等產品。副產品製成的生物炭因其pH值約10，適合做為酸性土壤的改良劑，改善土壤的物理性、透氣性、排水性、保水性、也可提供微生物棲息繁殖的環境，這對推廣友善耕作與有機栽培的農友是很關鍵的技術。
早期用50加崙的汽油桶為炭化實驗爐，處理自家的葡萄藤，並做了無數次的試驗，現在擴大建立五呎立方體的燜燒室，將葡萄藤做不同類型的炭化試驗與其他樹枝、果樹枝、棧板、漂流木、雜木作炭化試驗，並建立相關數據與經驗累積以便做推廣教學用。

A、How to be born
Sixty years ago, Kyoho grapes were introduced from Japan for trial planting in Dacun Township, Changhua County. With the hard work of the grandfathers of the old farmers, and the advantages of suitable climate and soil, the planting area was rapidly expanded. Later, Lin Jiaxing, an agricultural improvement farm in Taichung District, was instructing the techniques of pruning branches, so that the original harvest of Kyoho grapes from one year to two harvests per year has greatly increased the income of grape farmers. Farmers also use the pruned vine branches as fuel for the kitchen stove, burn the remaining ashes, and return the mixed compost to the vineyard or as the root fertilizer for raising rice seedlings. It can be said to be a lifestyle of recycling and recycling of rural resources. At that time, the rural areas were almost zero agricultural waste.
After the 1960s, farmers began to use a large amount of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The convenience of these two industrial products brought rich rural products and greatly improved the lives of farmers. Thirty years ago, I was working in an English-language magazine in Taiwan, and seeing the 17th and 18th issues of Hansheng Magazine reported on food safety issues such as food additives and pesticide residues, it caused great ripples in my heart as a farmer. Shocked. After get off work, I often contact grape growers to learn about the use of chemical pesticides. I found that many grape growers have little knowledge of pesticide use, and most of them just follow the introduction of pesticides. After further field investigation, it was found that in order to increase the control effect, farmers did not use the dilution ratio, and sometimes added more pesticides, which caused the pesticide residue to exceed the standard. Even a small number of fruit farmers used mercury and banned drugs. During the investigation, it was more unexpectedly discovered that many fruit farmers suffer from stomach and liver diseases. In 1994, the grapes were tested by the health unit to use banned drugs (Da Fu Dan), which caused consumers to panic about domestic grapes and made the grapes unsalable for several years.
Later, gas became popular, and farmers gradually replaced traditional stoves with gas stoves. The pruned vines did not know how to reuse them, so they were dumped by fruit farmers on fields, fallow fields, river banks, roadsides, cemeteries and other places. After it dries, it is set on fire, and a lot of plastic garbage is mixed in it. Fires caused by weeds and vine branches occur almost every year, causing environmental and air pollution. As a farmer’s child, the more I understand the truth, the more unwilling to work in another place. In 1986, I resolutely quit my job and returned to my hometown to manage a three-part vineyard, and I devoted myself to the research of organic grape cultivation through the process of field practice. To observe the changes in grape growth and think about cultivation techniques that do not use chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc. At that time, they used to turn on the lights at night to observe the situation of pests. In addition, the garden was full of weeds. Crazy, many grape growers think that my management method without pesticides is not feasible, and they all call me a fool. At that time, because of the sudden decline in income, he purchased materials and equipment, so he borrowed money to survive. For a time, he wanted to give up, but he did not give up and was unwilling to waste three years of research. Fortunately, I had a good opportunity to study natural farming methods at Dairen Farm in Japan. I learned that Japan has been implementing natural farming methods for more than 30 years. This opportunity made me more determined to do this meaningful thing for my hometown.
During this period, I recalled that my grandfather taught me to sift the ashes to raise seedlings as root fertilizer. The planter Lin Ponkan's well-known grandfather used twigs and bamboo to burn charcoal as fertilizer, so that the ponkan he planted was the sweetest. Grandma used charcoal ash and compost to grow delicious papaya, mother used charcoal ash as a dishwashing detergent, sand and charcoal to filter water, the teachings of these elders, plus squatting in front of a traditional stove to help burn the materials when they were young My experience allowed me to explore the technology of using grapevine branches to carbonize. Later, I developed a technology using "oxygen-limited braising and carbonization". During the process, the smoke is cooled and the acetic acid is collected, and it is formulated into a liquid fertilizer that promotes flowering and fruit and is non-toxic. Natural pesticides finally constructed an organic grape planting management model. It was also published in the "Sustainable Agriculture Seminar" of the Taichung District Agricultural Improvement Farm in 1993, and received widespread acclaim. The old county magistrate Zhou Qingyu visited the vineyard, and was also recommended by the old magistrate of Huangshicheng. At that time, President Lee Teng-hui often directly ordered grapes as gifts. Many officials and scholars at home and abroad often visit the vineyards for guidance.
At present, farmers rarely use stoves. The treasures that were used as fuel in the early days are rushed for by everyone, but now they have become waste and no one wants them. In addition to vine branches, frequently pruned fruit trees such as guava, mango, longan, lychee, lotus mist, citrus, dates, custard apples, etc., as well as factory waste wood materials, pallets, etc., these also caused the environment to be messy and unclean.
Take Dacun Township as an example. The waste of vine branches is about 250 metric tons per year. The mayor wants to solve the problem and purchases crushing equipment for composting treatment. The township office is changed to be shattered and sent as household garbage because it has not been corrupted for a long time. Going to the Xizhou incinerator was forbidden. Because the government banned farmers from burning vine branches, the number of vine branches recovered soared last year. The first phase was broken, and the second phase had to be collected and stacked next to the cemetery. On January 26, 2009, a major fire broke out in the vine storage yard. "Circular Agriculture"-"Organic Cultivation" has a key technology that uses the principle of carbonization and reuse of waste. At present, there are many kinds of raw materials that can be used as carbonization in Dacun Township, especially the twice-a-year pruning of vine branches is carbonized raw materials. Things that benefit the public.

B、implementation concept
Grapevine braising and carbonization treatment technology is the result of my research 30 years ago. I hope to establish a "circular agriculture" framework for my hometown. Through countless operations and field planting experiences over the years, it has proved to be simple and feasible. . The time and space background at that time was not easy to implement, because the government and farmers were not awakened and 30 years of time were wasted in vain. There are air pollution problems, garbage problems, environmental sanitation problems, pesticide residues food safety problems, agricultural land pollution problems, plus the current public's attention to environmental protection, production history, food sources and other factors, if you can take this participation to promote organic cultivation, The concepts and practices of environmentally friendly agriculture, healthy agriculture, and sustainable agriculture are combined into "circular agriculture"
The vines are characterized by high crude cellulose, not perishable, and not suitable for composting treatment. With braising and carbonization treatment, using coarse bran to fill the gaps, you can continue braising without interruption, as long as 8 to 48 hours, the biochar produced can be used as an amendment to acidify the soil, etc.; the generated smoke can be collected by dry distillation and cooling. It is then made into wood vinegar liquid, which has the effects of anti-inflammatory, sterilizing, deodorizing, plant growth nutrient solution, and halving the replacement of pesticides.
The braising and carbonization technology is simple, easy to learn, easy to operate, practical, low in equipment cost, and worthy of promotion.
The output value of agricultural waste is low, and the vines are fluffy and the transportation cost is high, which is not suitable for long-distance transportation. It is easier and feasible to implement regional integration in the main grape producing areas.

C、 The way and application of carbonization
Grapevine carbonization is the application of simple scientific principles, which integrates aerodynamics, hot air rise, oxygen-limited braising, dry distillation cooling, water cooling, standing precipitation, and air swirling upwards in series to establish the "oxygen-limited carbonization" technology. Collect acetic acid as the main by-product biochar. After collecting the acetic acid, it is processed into refined wood vinegar, which can be used as an additive for pesticide halving or as a nutrient that promotes flowering and fruit; soaking pepper, hand fragrance, bitter tea meal, small flower vinegar, etc. become non-toxic natural pesticides I have been experimenting with litchi stink bugs for three years and proved to have good results. Other uses such as: production of anti-mosquito liquid, deodorant liquid, handmade soap, deodorant liquid for garbage trucks and other products. The biochar made from by-products has a pH of about 10, so it is suitable as an acid soil amendment to improve the physical properties, air permeability, drainage, and water retention of the soil. It can also provide an environment for microorganisms to inhabit and multiply, which is friendly to promotion. Farmers farming and organic cultivation are key technologies.
In the early days, 50 gallons of gasoline barrels were used as the carbonization experiment furnace to process their own grape vines, and countless experiments were done. Now the five-foot cube braising room is expanded to conduct different types of carbonization experiments on the vines and other branches, Fruit branches, pallets, driftwood, and miscellaneous wood are used for carbonization experiments, and relevant data and experience accumulation are established for promotion and teaching.
◎a、The difference between carbonization temperature and acetic acid output
1. High temperature above 800 ℃: suitable for making charcoal, with little acetic acid
2. Medium temperature 400~800 ℃: suitable for making charcoal, with little acetic acid
3. Low temperature 200~600 ℃: suitable for making charcoal, with a lot of acetic acid
◎b、The function and characteristics of charcoal
1. Charcoal can be used as an amendment for acidic soil
2. The pine has a porous nature, which makes the soil have good air permeability and increases the oxygen supply to the roots.
3. Make the clay soft, reduce moisture damage, and promote drainage
4. The main component is carbon and silicon, which is similar to the soil, which promotes the healthy growth of crops
5. Contains soluble silicon, combined with calcium, can enhance plant disease resistance
6. Good base exchange can help plants absorb nutrients and make the leaf stems thicker and healthy
7. The main fertilizer is potassium, which can promote the effectiveness of P (phosphorus), Ca (calcium) and Mg (magnesium)
8. It has strong adsorption and has the function of absorbing toxins, inactivating heavy metals and not being absorbed by the roots.
9. When combined with organic fertilizer, it can reduce continuous cropping obstacles and reduce fertilizer loss
10. Carbon compounds can enhance heat absorption, increase ground temperature, promote crop growth, and reduce cold damage
11. Can be used as feed additives to make poultry and livestock healthier
12. It can improve the peculiar smell of the breeding environment
◎c、the function and characteristics of wood vinegar
1. It can be used as a substitute for pesticide halving
2. It can be used as a nutrient solution to promote the healthy growth of crops
3. Adjustable trace elements, as a nutrient solution that promotes high flowering and fruiting rate
4. It can be soaked in chili powder, hand-scented, and bitter tea dregs are non-toxic natural pesticides
5. It is also a non-toxic natural pesticide mixed with Xiaohua Manzelan
6. The effect of eliminating odor is super fast
◎d、the characteristics of oxygen-limited braising and carbonization
1. Simple series connection combined with scientific principles, without high-tech equipment
2. The whole process of carbonization uses less electricity, which is zero carbon emissions
3. Use track to push in and out of the carbonization tank, you don’t need a stacker
4. The carbonization process does not need to be watched all the time, and the safety is good
5. The operation process is simple and easy to learn
6. The carbonization furnace can connect several groups in series horizontally
7. Oxygen-limited braising and carbonization can produce acetic acid and charcoal
8. You can work during the day and night, and the amount of acetic acid produced at night is more than that during the day.
9. It can be designed as a mobile carbonization furnace to work directly in the vineyard
10. The equipment (large, medium and small three types) is low in price (20,000 to 300,000) and can be popularized
At present, the "oxygen-limited braising and carbonization" technology is very mature, and experiments with different fruit tree branches can continue in the future. The operation mode of the braising furnace can be designed into a base type, a mobile type and a simple type. The base type can be equipped with multiple sets of equipment instead of a large one. This is the particularity of carbonization. The mobile equipment is slightly smaller and can be directly moved to the vineyard for operations to process the vine waste on site. The biggest feature is the use of "oxygen-limited braising and carbonization" treatment, which can reduce the use of electricity throughout the process.
D、implementation influence
In the past five years, the visiting units include Lugang Society University, Yuanlin Society University, Nantou Society University, Xiushui Senior Center, Tongxiao Organic Cultivation Class, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs led 12 agricultural technology exchange groups from diplomatic countries to study, and the agricultural laboratory Dr. Chen Qiling co-organized a community simple carbonization furnace application seminar. In addition, environmentalists from Hong Kong and Mr. Hu from the Philippines came to visit.
1. Let the people across the country know that vines or branches are raw materials that can be used.
2. Significantly reduce the organic waste entering the incineration plant.
3. Improve the messiness of agricultural communities and improve the quality of life of residents.
4. Farmers can produce healthy and nutritious fruits and vegetables, so that Chinese people can eat safely and healthily.
5. Reduce farmers' use of chemical fertilizers and chemical pesticides.
6. Reduce the cost of organic cultivation and make the price of organic fruits and vegetables more commonplace.
7. Avoid pollution of farmland.
8. Prevent people from burning vines in the open to cause air pollution and even fire.
E、summary
I have promoted "Circular Agriculture" and "Organic Cultivation" for 30 years. I have done a lot of experiments to prove that it is feasible to treat grape vines with "limited oxygen braising and charring". The most important thing for the vines in the township is to openly pass on the experience of carbonization and organic cultivation to young farmers, so that more people can produce healthy and non-toxic organic fruits and vegetables, and take into account the ecological environment, so that more consumers can buy and eat with peace of mind. Rest assured, it can be said that production, life, and ecology are combined with each other to allow the earth to develop continuously.
