Recycling of steel-works flue dusts from electric arc and inductive furnaces
Huczala, Vít ; Koplík, Jan (referee) ; Šoukal, František (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with an application of electric arc furnace dust from steel production as secondary raw material for production of zinc and industrially process able zinc products. In this thesis the dust was processed by methods based on various physical and chemical properties. The most experiments were performed during the treatment with leaching in sulphuric acid. For this leaching the optimal concentration of sulphuric acid and the optimal ratio acid:dust was determined. The final products were prepared by precipitation or by evaporation of filtrate obtained after leaching. There were also used hydrolysis of dust and oxidative precipitation of filtrate during the processing. These steps led to increase of the quality of the final products. The price balance was also performed for the prepared products.

Possibilities of reducing zinc losses during heat treatment of ferrite ceramics
Buday, Patrik ; Šoukal, František (referee) ; Ptáček, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the study of the influence of sintering temperature on the evaporation of zinc from Mn-Zn-ferrite ceramics. The main focus of the study is on the reaction kinetics of the zinc evaporation process, at the same time the aim of this work is to propose and verify a method that would limit the evaporation of zinc. The theoretical part summarizes the basic knowledge about the properties, classification, application, and production of Mn-Zn-ferrites. The end of the theoretical part describes the loss of zinc and a possible solution to this undesirable phonomenon. The beginning of the experimental part contains a summary of the principles of infrared spectroscopy, electron scanning microscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The experimental part of the diploma thesis is focused on the description of the production of ferrite samples, the characterization of the input material and the determination of the reaction kinetics of the sintering, and its comparison with the kinetics of the sample treated with a protective layer.

Study of the influence of compositon on the mechanical properties of high performance concrete
Veleba, Ondřej ; Šoukal, František (referee) ; Krátký, Josef (advisor)
This work is devoted to study the influence of the composition on mechanical properties of high performance concret based on portland cement. 29 samples of high performance concrete (HPC) warying in composition were prepared. The constituents used for HPC preparation were: cement Aalborg White, silica fume, finelly ground blast furnace slag, finelly ground silica, calcinated bauxite and polycarboxylate based superplasticizer. The mechanical parameters (flexural and compressive strength) of the samples were observed after 7 and 28 days of moist curing. Compressive strength values after 28 days were in the range of 92 to 194 MPa and the flexural strength values were in the range of 7 to 23 MPa (without using of fiber reinforcement). The graphs showing mechanical parameters depending on the mixture composition were constructed and consequently evaluated.

The formation of gehlenite and anortite in the ceramics body.
Matysová, Dorota ; Šoukal, František (referee) ; Ptáček, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the study of mechanism and kinetics of gehlenite and anorthite formation in the ceramic body. Methods used for this study were thermal analysis (TG-DTA-EGA), HT-XRD and heating microscopy. The Kissinger equation which belongs to the mechanism-free isoconversional methods was used for the determination of the activation energy, the pre-exponential factor and the Avrami coefficient. Characteristic of reactants kaoline Sedlec Ia and precipitated CaCO3 (Penta, p.a.) using IR spectrometry, thermal analysis (TG-DTA-EGA), SEM and heating microscopy is also included in this thesis.

Polymer-cement composites of increased refractoriness
Ryšková, Martina ; Opravil, Tomáš (referee) ; Šoukal, František (advisor)
The subject of the diploma thesis is the preparation of macro-defect-free (MDF) composites based on calcium-aluminate cement and organic polymer polyvinylalcohol. Attention focused on the optimization of the dose, the degree of hydrolysis and molecular weight of the polymer with respect to the heat resistance of the material. Thermal degradation of polyvinyl alcohol leads to changes in the structure of MDF composite. The study was mainly focused on the characteristics of polyvinyl alcohol dosage associated with the resultant mechanical properties of the material. During the work were monitored for changes in the mechanical properties of samples were cured at 60 °C and subsequently fired at 180 °C, 600 °C, 1000 °C and 1400 °C. It was tested in flexural strength, heat microscopy, TGA-DTA-EGA and SEM analysis.

Modification of polyvinylalcohol of lower saponification degree for preparation of MDF composites
Kotrla, Jan ; Švec, Jiří (referee) ; Šoukal, František (advisor)
The subject of the bachelor thesis is modification of polyvinylalcohol of lower saponification degree for preparation of MDF composites. MDF composites are characterized by their extreme mechanical properties. However, their low resistance to moisture is a significant disadvantage. Increased moisture resistance could be achieved by grafting suitable functional groups on the polymeric chain and the subsequent cross-linking. The study is focused on optimization of the number of functional groups and the cross-linking conditions. The number of grafted functional groups was determined by UV – VIS, XPS analysis and IR spectrophotometry. The solubility of the crosslinked samples was measured by rheological measurements.

Synthesis of foamed bioceramics for potential medical applications
Doboš, Petr ; Šoukal, František (referee) ; Palou, Martin (advisor)
Cílem práce byla příprava porézních vzorků HAP pro potenciálně medicínské aplikace. HAP byl připraven metodou sol-gel a precipitační. Vzorky HAP byly podrobeny analýze FTIR, XRD, SEM. Takto připravený HAP byl napěněn pomocí houbové metody s jasně definovanými póry a pomocí polymerního a skleněného expanzelu s různou distribucí a velikostí pórů. U výsledných napěněných vzorků byla vyhodnocena mikrostruktura a povrchová analýza pomocí SEM, zjištěna porozita pomocí Hg porozimetru a sledována bioaktivita in vitro v SBF. Byly zjištěny jasně definované makro, mezo a mikro póry při různé distribuci. U houbové metody pomocí sol-gel došlo k vytvoření jasně definovaných a pravidelných pórů s monodisperzní porozitou. Dominantní velikost póru byla stanovena v rozmezí 1–5 µm. Celková porozita byla stanovena na 63,5 % s celkovým povrchem 3,048 1 m/g. Precipitační metodou s polymerním expanzelem došlo k polydisperznímu rozložení pórů s třemi hlavními fázemi v rozmezí: 50–100 µm, 5–10 µm a 0,5–1 µm. Celková porozita byla stanovena na 67,6 % s celkovým povrchem 19,090 3 m/g. Bioaktivita výsledných napěněných vzorků in vitro byla sledována po dobu 7 dnů v připraveném SBF. Při napěnění sol-gel houbovou metodou nevznikla výsledná bioaktivní vrstva. U precipitační metody napěněné pomocí polymerního expanzelu vznikla nepravidelná bioaktivní vrstva. Výsledky byly naměřeny pomocí SEM analýzy.
