Experimental study of Palaeozoic limestones of the Barrandian and their possible use for burning of hydraulic limes and natural cement
Kozlovcev, Petr ; Přikryl, Richard (advisor) ; Vavro, Martin (referee)
54 Summary In this experimental study, selected Devonian limestones of the Prague Basin (i.e. samples from the historic quarry of Branické skály) were examined to find their suitability for production of hydraulic limes or for natural cement. Four representative samples of the dvorecko-prokopské limestone were sampled in the form of blocks weighing approximately 10 kg each, from the layer of the quarry wall that had been chosen based on literature research. A detailed mineralogical-petrographic examination of samples was the first step, in an attempt to obtain their mineralogical composition, microstructure and texture. Samples were analysed by polarizing microscopy and cathodoluminescence of thin sections, and X-ray diffraction of insoluble residues determined by treatment with both the hydrochloric acid and the acetic acid solution. Mineralogical composition of the insoluble residuals was illite, kaolinite, quartz and Na-plagioclase (albite). Two samples contained among above mentioned mineral phases also chlorite. The utility of studied limestones for the production of hydraulic binders (hydraulic limes and natural cement) was derived from both the calculations based on obtained chemical analyses (included standard cement and lime indexes and modules) and the firing experiments. The firing experiments...

Study of interaction between engineering barriers of deep repository of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste
Podojil, Adam ; Jelínek, Emil (advisor) ; Kozlovcev, Petr (referee)
The thesis describes the different types of radioactive wastes (RAW), it present classification used in Czech Republic (classification of RAW isn't unified but vary according to the needs of the region for which is created. Trend of recent years in RAW disposal aimed at building a deep repositories in suitable geological formations. So it is in Czech Republic where it is planned to build repository in granitic rocks similar to the Swedish model KBS-3V/KBS-3H. This model is based on multi-barrier system which serves to maintain radionuclides outside the environment for at least 100,000 years. The system consist of engineered barriers (waste form, storage overpack, bentonite and cement) and natural barriers (rock environment in the vicinity of deep depository (near field, far field)). Study of interactions of various barriers is an important factor in the development of appropriate forms of final storage. The interactions at interface bentonite-corrosion products of container and cement- bentonite are important in terms of functionality barriers over time. In the long run, there are many changes in the properties of the individual interacting barriers. At the interface bentonite-steel shell of the container when progressing corrosion occurs to the formation of secondary minerals (magnetite, siderite,...
