Methodology for determining the chemical composition of water glasses
Flídrová, Michaela ; Bartoníčková, Eva (referee) ; Kalina, Lukáš (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the methodology of determination of the chemical composition of water glasses. The aim was to find a more suitable method than the colorimetric analysis used by one of the domestic water glass manufacturers. The current procedure can be used to determine the content of Me2O (Na2O, K2O, Li2O), however, in the determination of SiO2 the method is inaccurate since the color change of the indicator during the second titration is very slow and therefore the equivalence point is ambiguous. The main aim of this work was to find a suitable method for the complex determination of the chemical composition of water glasses, which is compared with other methods used in the analytical chemistry of silicate materials. A very promising method is the conductometric titration with a volumetric hydrochloric acid solution, which provides an accurate, fast and instrumentally inexpensive method of chemical determination.

The development of composites based on alkali-activated matrices resistant to extreme temperatures
Ševčík, Marek ; Šácha, Libor (referee) ; Dufka, Amos (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the development of composites from alkali activated materials (AAM) and their resistance to extreme temperatures. The theoretical part describes alkaline activation and precursors for the production of AAM. Furthermore, the problem of the effect of extreme temperatures on these materials is described. In the experimental part, the optimal silicate modulus with respect to the properties of AAM was gradually determined, and the effect of extreme temperatures on the AAM matrix was verified. In the next stage, the effect of the filler with respect to the behavior at extreme temperatures was tested and then the final formulation was optimized.

The possibilities of using of foundry filter ash
Solik, Jaroslav ; Šoukal, František (referee) ; Opravil, Tomáš (advisor)
This thesis explores the posibility of using of foundry filter ash for production of inorganic composite materials, that could be used primary in the construction industry. The thesis is divided into theoretical and experimental section, where theoretical section contain literature review of used materials and the experimental section summarizes the results of laboratory tests performed on tested mixture based on portland and alumina cement with various content of foundry filter ash. For comparison was also used another foundry waste - foundry sand. Prepared test bodies with dimension of 40 x 40x 160 mm was subjected to mechanical strength tests and the influence of amount of foundry waste on the strenght of the prepared mixtures was monitored. Next the thesis deals with possibilities of alkaline activation of foundry waste, where sodium water glass, sodium hydroxide and commercially supplied baucis L 160 component B were used as alkaline activator. These test mixtures were also subjected to mechanical strenght tests and the influence of amount of foundry waste on the strenght was observed too. The analysis of input materials were performed by XRF, TG – DTA – EGA and XRD powder diffraction methods. All strength tests were tested by testing equipment desttest 4310.

Possibilities of using waste foundry sand
Kopecký, Filip ; Koplík, Jan (referee) ; Opravil, Tomáš (advisor)
Considering increasing manufacture of metallic materials made in foundries increases also production of waste foundry sands. Foundry sands that remain after moulding and can not be reused in the prouction process anymore are usually not recycled nowadays and in the better cases they are clasified as a fill materials. These secondary raw materials are produced in relatively big amounts. Thats why is apropriate to search for their effective reuse. One of the possibilities is using of this materials in buliding industry. Thanks to their constitution and properties we can consider the possibilties of an alkaline activation, additional source to alkalit activated systems or like part of refractories.

Water Treatment Plants Innovation Opportunities
Zelený, Zdeněk ; Biela, Renata (referee) ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor)
This master´s thesis deals with the possibilities of innovation process water treatment. Specifically, to explore the use of sodium water glass and nanoiron in removing heavy metals from raw water at the drinking water treatment. For the comparison was used traditionally used coagulant, particularly liquid aluminum sulfate. The introductory part deals with the possibility of modifying the surface water during the treatment process such water into potable water. This chapter is a description of the quality of raw water used, then the description of currently used separation processes. Furthermore, they are described and commonly used types of treatment plants. Conclusion The introductory section deals with traditional coagulants and form a suspension. Another part of this master´s thesis has been devoted to the possibilities of innovation in the treatment of raw waters as drinking water, describes the options and features of the use of water glass and nanoiron. The following section describes the experimental part of this thesis. It is followed by the experimental results. The last chapter summarizes the acquired knowledge and commented on the measured values of the experimental part. This work also shows several specific projects using innovative technologies presented.

Utilization possibilitiesof foundry sands in geopolymers systems
Kopecký, Filip ; Másilko, Jiří (referee) ; Opravil, Tomáš (advisor)
Considering increasing manufacture of cast iron, steels and other metallic materials made in foundries increases also production of waste foundry sands. Foundry sands that remain after moulding and can not be reused in the prouction process are usually not recycled nowadays and in the better cases they are clasified as a fill materials. Becouse these secondary raw materials are produced in relatively big amounts it is apropriate to search for their effective reuse. One of the possibilities is using of this materials in buliding industry. Thanks to their constitution and properties we can consider the possibilties of an alkaline activation. Thats why this work discusses the possibilities of the alkaline activation of the waste foundry sands.

Water soluble foundry binder with heat hardening
Prokop, Tomáš ; Burianová, Klára (referee) ; Cupák, Petr (advisor)
Foundry production produces the biggest amount of dangerous waste, which has a negative impact on environment and working conditions in the foundry. The foundry engineers test new technologies of shaping mixtures with new binders to protect environment and working conditions. We can reduce the production of dangerous waste by using better technologies and less harmful materials, which are needed for modeling forms and cores. The large source of pollution are binders, hardeners and catalyzer needed for binding sand. This work is focused on new types of ecological binders, which are dissolvable in water and are formed by setting temperature. These binders are ecological variants of known inorganic and organic binders.
