Correlation of Thermoanalytical Data with Primary Properties of Humified Substrata
Kislinger, Jiří ; Šimon, Peter (oponent) ; Tesařová, Marta (oponent) ; Schaumann, Gabriele (oponent) ; Pekař, Miloslav (vedoucí práce)
This doctoral thesis is composed as a thermoanalytical study of humified substrata, i.e. humic substances and soils, obtained from several different sources and of various types in order to cover wide range of primary characteristics. It enquires after linear correlations (using Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient) between thermo-oxidative degradation kinetics (observed by means of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and expressed as conversion time assessed by non-isothermal isoconversional method) and standard characteristics, such as amount of aromatic and carboxylic carbon present in humic substances determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The main aim is to shed light on the processes of thermo-oxidative degradation of humified pool of natural organic matter and to search for trends between primary and secondary structure of humic substances. The second goal lies within correlating thermogravimetric weight losses of whole soil samples to their microbiological stability measured in laboratory experiments as soil respiration via carbon dioxide evolution method. The purpose consists in assessment of the interrelationship existence and in disclosing what kind of processes occurring during soil respiration can be easily detected by TGA. Results of the work bring more detailed view on thermal analysis of soils and other humified matter. The major benefit of this work is the presentation of emerging applications of thermal analysis for the characterization of soil organic matter and furthermore the contribution to the development of application of thermal analysis techniques in humus science.
