Study of processes taking place during carbonation of ladle furnace slag
Sadílek, Lukáš ; Cába, Vladislav (referee) ; Másilko, Jiří (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis is focused on the study of processes taking place during carbonation of ladle furnace slag (LFS). The main phases of the LFS, meaning -C2S, -C2S, C4AF, C12A7 and additionally -C2S were first synthesized in a pure form. Then all the samples, including the LFS, were studied for hydration and carbonation activity. The highest hydration activity was observed in the aluminate phases C4AF, C12A7 and the highest carbonation activity was exhibited mainly by -C2S then also -C2S and LFS. Main products forming during the carbonation are carbonates, meaning CaCO3 in various modifications but also a smaller amount of aluminate phase hydration products formed in a very quick reaction with mixing water. Both temperature and relative humidity have a significant influence on the carbonation process. These conditions affect the carbonation rate itself and relative humidity also changes the ratio of forming CaCO3 modifications, which is most likely due to the changes in the carbonation mechanism.

Leachability of Ba and Cr from alkali-activated matrices
Cába, Vladislav ; Hajzler, Jan (referee) ; Koplík, Jan (advisor)
The aim of this work is to determine the usability of alkaline activated matrices made from ashes to inhibition of barium and chrome. Ashes – fly ashes and ashes from fluidized bed combustion – were compared with cement used for inhibition. By using inductively coupled plasma atomic emmission spectrometer were determined concentrations of barium and chrome in leachates based on norm ČSN EN – 12457-4. In addition, images were taken on the scanning electron microscope and crystallographic spectra from X-ray crystalography were obtained to determine structure. The results show that ashes from fluidized bed combustion are suitable for inhibition of both barium and chrome, whereas fly ashes can not sustain these elements with such success.

Fixation of the lead in alkali activated materials based on different types of ashes
Cába, Vladislav ; Kalina, Lukáš (referee) ; Koplík, Jan (advisor)
The aim of this work was to develop an alkali activated matrix based mainly on fly ash, to determine the ability to fix lead in these matrices, the impact of added lead on mechanical properties and to reveal the way of lead fixation in these matrices. The matrices consisted mainly of fly ash (four from fluidized bed combustion, one pulverized coal combustion) with an admixture of blast furnace slag and sodium silicate as an activator. Lechates were prepared on the basis of the ČSN EN - 12457-4 standard, lead concentrations in them were measured using an atomic emission spectrometer with inductively coupled plasma. The strengths of the samples were measured after 28 days. Images, element maps and element spectra were taken to determine the structure using a scanning electron microscope with an electron dispersion spectrometer, the samples were analyzed on an infrared spectrometer with a Furier transform, X-ray diffraction analysis and electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis were also used. The individual measurements showed that lead is accumulated in the form of hydroxide. The impact of lead doping on strength of the matrix was different for individual samples. Matrices from both types of fly ash released minimal amounts of lead into leachates, so it is possible to use them to fixate lead.

Study of microdefects in Czochralski silicon
Španělová, Klára ; Cába, Vladislav (referee) ; Másilko, Jiří (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis deals with the study of microdefects in Czochralski silicon in cooperation with the company onsemi Rožnov pod Radhoštěm. The main objectiv is to find knowledge about microdefects in Czochralski silicon and their influence on the properties of semiconductor components. The experimental part deals with the characterization of microdefects in Czochralski silicon ingots doped by B, P and Sb and grown in the company onsemi. Specifically, the measurement of radial resistivity is performance using a four-point probe with subsequent conversion to dopant concentration (according to ASTM F 723-99). The radial and axial distribution of microdefects in Czochralski silicon ingots is evaluated using the precipitation test and the OISF test. The position of the vacant-interstitial interface was also detected as part of microdefect study.

Hybride binders based on the high-calcium ash
Hubáček, Václav ; Cába, Vladislav (referee) ; Koplík, Jan (advisor)
The goal of this bachelor´s thesis was to develop a hybrid binder based on high calcium fly ash with the focus on addition of Portland cement, observation of hydration process, measurement of mechanichal properties, identification of hydration products and comparation with Portland cement. Hybrid binder was developer by adding different amounts of Portland cement to the selected mixture of high calcium fly ash activated by sodium hydroxide. Setting times and flexural strength and compressive strength were measured for these hybrid binders. Afterwards one type of hybrid binder was selected for more analyses (XFR, XRD, SEM/EDS and isothermic calorimetry). These analyses were also used for a sample of Portland cement and alkali activated high calcium fly ash and afterwards these three samples were compared between each other. The collected data show that the compositions of the activated fly ash and hybrid binder are very similar and the addition of Portland cement to the mixture has only a minor impact. Main hydration product for both of them was ettringite. Addition of Portland cement to the activated high calcium fly ash has positive impact on mechanical properties, it shortens the start of setting time of a mixture and it also increases early and later compressive strenghts.
