Diagnostic of nitrogen post-discharge by optical emission spectroscopy
Kabeláčová, Kateřina ; Slavíček,, Pavel (referee) ; Mazánková, Věra (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is diagnose post-discharge nitrogen plasma with optical emission spectroscopy. There is long interest of investigated of nitrogen post-discharge plasma and study how to use it in theory as well as in practice. All results were measured with method of optical emission spectroscopy of post-discharge plasma. Discharge was generated by direct-current voltage generator with flowing regime. In this thesis was used for different series of experiments. First experiment was performed with adding water vapour into argon plasma. Measuring was processed at constant current 140 mA, voltage 1.5 V and pressure 1 000 Pa. It was changed flow rate and for each individual flow rate was measured in range 1–25 cm from end of active discharge. Second experiment was with adding nitrogen into argon plasma. Measuring was processed at constant current 140 mA, voltage 1.5 V and pressure 1 000 Pa. We were changing flow rate of nitrogen (0,2 sccm, 0,4 sccm and 0,8 sccm). For each individual flow rate was same experiment with changing distance from active discharge. Third experiment was about adding mercury vapour into nitrogen post-discharge. Measuring was processed at constant current 120 mA, voltage 3.5 V and pressure 1 000 Pa. Measuring was performed with two configuration: with diaphragm and without it. Last experiment was about adding air into argon plasma. Measuring was processed at constant current 140 mA, voltage 1.0 V and pressure 1 000 Pa. Temperature of outer face of tube was measured by thermocouple and infrared thermometer, was measured for last two experiments (argon – air and nitrogen). During experiments with pure nitrogen was visible phenomenon called pink afterglow which is manifested by noticeable increase pink coloration. Optical emission spectrums post-discharge was take at various range of wavelength. At argon with water vapour was 280–600 nm and at adding nitrogen into argon was at range 320–500 nm. At added mercury vapour into nitrogen was 320–600 nm. For experiment argon – air was wavelength range 320–600 nm. From results of experiments were designed dependencies of calculated intensity from measured spectra on distance from active discharge. Also were constructed dependencies of measured temperature on distance from active discharge.

Determination of acidic groups in humic substances.
Kabeláčová, Kateřina ; Sedláček, Petr (referee) ; Janeček, Jiří (advisor)
Within this bachelor thesis we compared three method to determine the acidity of humic substances. We employed the baryta-method (which determines the total acidity), the Ca-acetate method (determines the content of carboxylic groups only) and the technique of Ray von Wandruszka. This method should provide the content of groups dissociable at pH>12. We used four different samples of humic acids isolated from two sources (lignite and peat). While the differences between results of baryta and Ca-acetate methods were expected and can be easily explained, the values of acidity obtained by the von Wandruszka method represent roughly one half of the results of Ca-acetate method and almost only ten percent of the baryta results. In the cases of baryta as well as von Wandruszka methods we observed a dependency of the results on the time-length of the analysis. In the theoretical part the characterisation, divided, creation, structure and properties of humic substances are summarized. In the end of theoretical part are described using method for analysis of humic acids.
