Transport of phamaceuticals in reactive hydrogels
Kotradyová, Viktória ; Kalina, Michal (oponent) ; Klučáková, Martina (vedoucí práce)
The bachelor thesis focuses on a problem associated with diffusion processes of antibiotics in agarose hydrogels enriched with humic acids. The soil model system simulates the transport of these pollutants and demonstrates the ability of the humic acids to bind and retain these substances, thereby preventing their subsequent contamination at unintentional places. The theoretical section encompasses an overview of the occurrence of pharmaceuticals in soil and water systems; it also provides information about their behaviour, effects, degradation, and potential outcomes in nature. It further clarifies basic knowledge of soil components, in particular humic acids. Furthermore, the mechanism behind the diffusion processes is explicated. Within the experimental part, the diffusion of the sulfomethoxazole and sulfapyridine in two types of agarose hydrogels was examined. Firstly, the pure agarose hydrogel was used and secondly, the addition of the active agent in the form of humic acids was performed. The method of diffusion from continuous source was utilized, followed by measuring through UV-VIS spectrometry for 21 days. The study aimed to compare the results and to establish the diffusion coefficients of the pharmaceuticals in both types of hydrogels.
