Wood vinegar is natural, gentle on the
environment, and cost-effective. The
materials needed to produce wood
vinegar, such as bamboo, clay, and wood,
are readily available in even the most
remote areas of Asia.

Making wood vinegar is an exciting way to
teach students about practical science
topics. This knowledge can help them
prosper in their future careers.

 The production of wood vinegar is cost- effective, takes only one day and offers a
versatile range of beneficial applications that
are gentle on the environment.

• Use Charcoal product for cooking. Charcoal made from wood vinegar produces cleaner, safer smoke.
  
  
• Kill pests by applying a 1:20 ratio to the soil.
  
  
• Kill weeds by applying a 1:50 ratio to the soil.
  
  
• Prevent stems and roots from rotting
  by applying a 1:100 ratio.
  
  
• Prevent pests and mold while
  accelerating plant growth by applying a
  1:200 ratio to the soil.
  
  
• Prevent plant lice by applying a 1:400 ratio to the plant.
  
  
• Enhance fruit growth by applying a 1:500 ratio to forming fruit.
  
  

Step 2

• Cut a 10 cm diameter circular hole on the other side of the tank.
  

Step 3

• Attach an asbestos joint to the 10
  cm hole as shown in A of diagram.
  Then, attach an asbestos pipe to
  the joint.
  

Step 4

• Make a bamboo pipe by hollowing out a 4m bamboo stalk with a metal pole. Cut one end of the pipe at an angle.
  

Step 5

• Cut a notch 30 - 50cm away from
  the angled end of the pipe. This
  notch will allow wood vinegar to
  drip out later on in the process.
  

Step 6

To produce charcoal and
wood vinegar:

• Load three short logs in the kiln
  horizontally to promote air flow.
  
• Stack logs from smallest to
  largest and perpendicular to the
  3 short logs as shown in the
  picture to the left. This allows
  all logs to fully burn.
  

Step 7

• Seal the kiln lid in place with a layer of clay about 5 cm thick. Proceed while the clay is wet.
  

Step 8

• To build a fireplace, put 4 bricks
  around the 20 cm square hole in
  the lid. Seal with clay.
  

Step 9

• Start and maintain a fire slightly inside the brick fireplace. Wait approximately
  2 hours until a strong white smoke
  emerges from the asbestos pipe.
  

Step 10

• Attach the angled end of the bamboo
  pipe to the asbestos pipe at point C.
  Seal with clay, making sure the
  notch is facing downward.
  

Step 11

• Wrap the length of the bamboo pipe
  with cool, damp cloths to aid in the
  condensation of raw wood vinegar.
  Hang a collection bottle at the notch
  to capture the product.
  

Step 12

• Maintain the fire and dampness of
  the cloths. The raw wood vinegar is
  finished producing when the droplets
  turn black, indicating that tar has formed.
  

Step 13

To make charcoal:

• Remove the collection bottle and the bamboo pipe.
  
• Place a small clay pot on the
  opening of the asbestos pipe and seal
  any remaining openings with clay.
  
• Stack two bricks in front of the entrance and seal with clay
  
• Wait 8 hours for charcoal to form
  

Step 14

To purify raw wood vinegar:

• Let the wood vinegar sit for 90 days
  and settle into 3 layers.
  
• Extract the middle layer of wood
  vinegar with a syringe.
  
• Dilute the wood vinegar depending
  on its purpose.
