Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of: Pharmaceutical technology Consultant: Doc. PharmDr. Zdeňka Šklubalová, Ph.D. Student: Ondřej Damborský Title of Thesis: Flow equation of sorbitol granules with addition of magnesium stearate. The aim of this thesis is to study particulate built and consolidation properties of the granulate prepared by wet granulation of sorbitol and it's size fractions in the range of 0,2 - 0,8 mm and it's influence of adding lubricate magnesium stearate 0.5% and 1.0%. The properties were studied by the angle of repose, the three kinds of bulk density, tap density, the Hausner ratio. The granules showed adequate to good flow properties. The addition of magnesium stearate flow increases the rate through the granulate sorbitol. Mass flow rate through the orifice the conical hopper of the test depending on the particle size and hole diameter were monitored. With increasing particle size the rate of pouring decreases, while the diameter of the hole had the opposite effect. Dependence of the flow rate to the average of the opening of the hopper was modeled by a power equation Jones-Pilpel. When using the current parameters with accuracy reverse estimate of the flow rate ranged between approximately 2 - 4%.

Effect of paracetamol on the parameters of compression equation
Mařanová, Lucie ; Řehula, Milan (advisor) ; Ondrejček, Pavel (referee)
Evaluation of the tableting mixtures containing the paracetamolum by the parameters of the equation of compression The diploma thesis deals with effect of paracetamol on the parameters of compression equation. These parameters characterize compression process in the individual phases of compression: precompression phase, phase of elastic deformation and phase of plastic deformation. Paracetamolum was studied in the five mixtures, where it occurred in different ratio with microcrystalline cellulose. Looseness, Carr's index and Hausner ratio were evaluated for each mixture. The sizes of reductions ai, sizes of energies Ei and Ri, "half-pressures" pHi and the velocity constants 1/ti were calculated using three-exponential equation of compression for the individual phases of pressing. The results showed poor flow properties of tableting mixtures and thus its unsuitability for direct compression. The results of the study have revealed that increasing amounts of paracetamolum in the mixture increase reduction of volume a1 and velocity of volume change 1/t1 in dependence on the amount of the extruded air and decrease the required energy due to the smooth surface and less friction during the precompression phase. Reduction of volume a2 decrease with the increase of content of paracetamol due to...
