Abstract

Current “Ecosphere – technology” conflict stems from an environmental, agricultural and chemical management outdated technological platform based on a simplified attempt to imitate natural phenomena in technology root case. A standard chemical-technological system hierarchy determines the own technological waste and ecosphere chemical-technological load. Badly controlled soil geophysical system reduces a soil productivity. 

A critical reassessing of the land and water use, waste recycling technologies, environment and agronomy practice is needed to eliminate shortcomings and configure a future sustainable environmentally sound chemical-soil-biological engineering. 

Using a heuristic approach to understand an origin of an environmentally sound technological development niche, we configured the chemical-soil-biological engineering (CSBE) methodology and Biogeosystem Technique (BGT*) methodology. 

The BGT*-CSBE objects are: main product chemical-technological system; devices for improving the geophysical and geochemical properties of soil by synthesizing the structure and architecture of its illuvial layer for the biological-soil recycling of bulk or granular by-product; pulsed intra-soil sequential-discrete devices for recycling of liquid by-product and/or soil moistening and plant nutrition; and an environmentally friendly biological production.

BGT*-CSBE is capable in providing: a main chemical product fully waste-free technology; a dispersed by-products recycling within the synthesized fine-aggregate architecture of the soil inner layer for a plants favorable development; and a food, fodder and row material economic use of the biological production obtained on the synthesized soil.

BGT* applies nature phenomena creating a nature-friendly technical means and technologies for a long-term soil geophysical, chemical, water and biological properties optimization. The BGT* based one time 20–50 cm layer intra-soil milling provides a stable soil fine multilevel aggregate system improving a soil biome function for up to 40 years. The BGT* based intra-soil pulse continuous-discrete watering reduces a plant water consumption circa 5–20 times compared to the standard irrigation. BGT* based municipal, industrial waste and gasification byproduct intra-soil dispersed recycling in a course of the 20–50 cm soil layer milling provides soil solution equilibria control, heavy metals passivation, environmental safety and plant nutrition. Using BGT* methodology, the yield becomes higher circa 50–80% compared to standard technology. BGT* methodology promotes the soil system continuity, reinforces soil biogeochemical turnover, ensures a reversible carbon intra-soil and aboveground biological sequestration, provides biosphere health and climate system sustainability.

There is a strong need to use a BGT*-CSBE and in their chemical-biological engineering theory and practice. The BGT*-CSBE helps to understand a new world chemical engineering development niche. Ths BGT*-CSBE expands the environment, soil science, agronomy, irrigation, waste recycling fields corresponding new technical equipment design and manufacturing. The BGT*-CSBE provides a practical solution to a friendly environment synthesis and make a designer’s job more efficient focusing on the new high level developments and improving the accuracy of a design. The CSBE and BGT* provide new information to assist in a design problem.

BGT*-CSBE is a circular green chemistry waste free environment friendly and biosphere high quality and productivity development platform.
