The use of biomass ash
Ochecová, Pavla ; Tlustoš, Pavel (advisor) ; Radim, Radim (referee)
One of the most frequently used sources of renewable energy is biomass, mainly wood biomass. Incineration is the most common technology utilizing the energy from biomass to produce heat. A byproduct of these technologies is ash, whose composition depends on the feedstock composition and the incineration technologies. Due to the high content of valuable nutrients in ash, one of the suitable option for ash utilization seems to be application into agricultural or forestry land. Therefore, it is necessary to test response of soils and plants and look for the most suitable combination of soil additive (biomass ash), and plants. Experimental part of PhD thesis was divided into the incubation experiment and the vegetation pot experiments. The incubation experiment: The efficiency of ash addition at two application rates was tested for nutrients enrichment in different soils within period of 56 days. The vegetation pot experiments: The two plants Triticum aestivum L: (three-year experiment) and Lolium perenne L. (one-year experiment) were planted in the 5L pots. Soils were treated with ash or ash combinated by superphoshate and flue gas desulfurization gypsum. For both plants, we evaluated the plant growth, biomass production and content of macro, micro and toxic elements in the biomass and in the soils.

The Effect of Sawdust on the Refractoriness of Insulation Chamotte
Smékalová, Veronika ; Kotásek, Martin (referee) ; Sokolář, Radomír (advisor)
Lightweight refractory products have their place between refractory materials. Still the most common way of lightweighting is by using burnable components. This bachelor work includes the theoretical part, which deals with raw materials for lightweight fireclay, manufactory, and also testing lightweight refractory products. The second part of this work deals with foreign research and its results in this area. The practical part examines the influence of the types of sawdust (spruce or beech) on properties of lightweight refractory materials. The work focuses mainly on heat resistance, temperature usability, thermal conductivity, and density. These properties are evaluated with consideration to the ash which is created by burning sawdust.

Basic characterization of selected samples of animal feeds
Svoboda, Ilona ; Hrstka, Miroslav (referee) ; Vítová, Eva (advisor)
The aim of the diploma thesis was to choose poper parameters for a quick and simple characterization of animal feed, to verify working procedures and to apply these on chosen samples. Within the scope of this work, samples of animal dog feed produced in a private company „Adamkovy tlacenky“ were analyzed. The feed is in the form of brawn, stored in artificial casing; it consists of up to 80% of animal components and up to 20% of vegetable components, while the rest of the weight is the pork gelatine. The feed does not contain preservatives, colourings as well as any other chemically produced additives. For the analysis three formulas were chosen: "Hovězinka", "Kuřátko" and "Srdcovka", the composition of which is protected by the patent. The choice was made to include samples of different composition. The content of raw crude protein, fat, fibre, dry basis, and ash was determined. The obtained values were compared with the standards for feed normally utilized by the feed industry. The results will be used to improve the formulas and to develop new types of feed.

Analysis of ash from fireplace
Drápela, Jakub ; Špiláček, Michal (referee) ; Hrnčířová, Michaela (advisor)
This bachelor thesis should familiarize readers with the size of analysis of ashes of fireplace inset. The work is posssible to divide into two parts, when the first one is devoted to a description of fireplace insets, fuels and subsequent processes during burning in fireplace insets and to individual methods used for size analysis of particles.The other part is focused on practical measurements of individual samples of ashes and subsequent evaluation.

Particle size of solid ash
Lochman, Petr ; Špiláček, Michal (referee) ; Hrnčířová, Michaela (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with possible ways of analyzing the size of solid particles of ash and their effect on the environment. The first half is devoted to combustion, ash formation and fuels, which are commonly used for energy production. The second half is devoted to a practical analysis of solid particles of different ash samples and their subsequent evaluation.
