Nonplatinum catalysts for polymer exchange membrane fuel cells
Talába, Michal ; Chladil, Ladislav (referee) ; Novák, Vítězslav (advisor)
This work brings a study about non-platinum catalysts, alkaline membranes and methods that interprets catalytic activity. Work deals with a research on non-platinum catalysts based on MnO2 with addition of support substances, measuring of their properties using cyclic voltammetry and hydrodynamics theory. Also a fuel cell measurement of catalytic materials on PVA membrane is executed. The outcome of this work is evaluation of voltammetry and fuel cell measurements. The results of all methods are compared too.

Catalytic oxidation of VOC on commercially available catalysts
Osička, Tomáš ; Jecha, David (referee) ; Brummer, Vladimír (advisor)
The main topic of this thesis is a catalytic oxidation which belongs to a group of modern technologies for removing emission of CO and VOC from waste air. In the introduction of this thesis, the basic concepts are defined. Further the legislative requirements associated with VOC emissions, emission limits and conditions are summarized. Described destructive and non-destructive methods for removing VOCs from waste gases are also briefly described. Increased attention is paid to the catalytic oxidation as the main theme of the thesis. It was searched for industrial applications where the catalytic oxidation is used. Another chapter is devoted to the theoretical analysis of kinetics of catalytic oxidation reactions. Firstly, the basic types of reactors are described and also material balance and reaction rate for the isothermal and adiabatic reactor. In the experimental part results of performed kinetic measurements on a pilot unit for catalytic commonly used organic solvents (VOCs) using commercially available catalysts were summarized. Pre-exponential factors and activation energies for sprinkling catalysts EnviCat VOC-5565 and EnviCat 55068 for substances ethanol, toluene and acetone were determined. "Light-off" curves for these substances and methane were measured and on sprinkled catalyst EnviCat 55068 and on monolithic catalyst Purelyst PH-304.

Ionexchange membranes for fuel cells
Chladil, Ladislav ; Špičák, Petr (referee) ; Barath, Peter (advisor)
Bachelor’s thesis engages in the analysis of ionexchange polymer electrolytes for low-temperature fuel cell’s H2-O2 application. Object of this work was made a several version of function ionexchange membranes with electrode material by MEA technique. The theoretical part is deal of problems of the fuel cell and their application. Experimental part describes the process of preparation of electrode materials, which were doped by platinum catalyst in variable subsidy. Electrode substances were deposited on various ionexchange membranes. This function elements were measured in experimental fuel cell Quintech and measured results was evaluated.

Engine Motormanagement Software
Kopecký, Ivo ; Vítek, Ondřej (referee) ; Hájek, Vítězslav (advisor)
Fuel injection is a means of metering fuel into an internal combustion engine. In modern automotive applications, fuel metering is one of several functions performed by an "engine management system". A fuel injection system is designed and calibrated specifically for the type(s) of fuel it will handle: gasoline (petrol), Autogas LPG (also known as propane), ethanol, methanol, methane (natural gas), hydrogen or diesel. The majority of fuel injection systems are for gasoline or diesel applications. With the advent of electronic fuel injection, the diesel and gasoline hardware has become quite similar. During the last twenty years a preparation of a fuel mixture and the way of ignition in engine segment have changed the most. Instead of a carburettor it is being used the unit, which prepare fuel mixture according to a status of a car on the road e.g. change of pressure, temperature or ratio of a fuel and air.

Modification properties of MnOx based positive electrode for AFC
Kamrla, David ; Bača, Petr (referee) ; Novák, Vítězslav (advisor)
The subject of this graduation thesis is low-cost alkaline power cells and especially electrodes with alternative catalyst made of MnOx + dopant. The thesis expands the bachelor´s thesis [1] and previous research [4] [12] [13] [14]. Volt-ampere characteristics and power characteristics of the katodes for AFC, subsidized with various dopants, are the outcome of this project. The project presents the optimalisation of preparation process of AFC electrodes. The aim is to prepair several electrodes with identical construction, which varies only with the type of the dopant.

The optimization the production of selected medicinal substances
Fránek, Jan ; Ing.Oldrřich Smékal (referee) ; Omelková, Jiřina (advisor)
Mgr. Jan Fránek 2011: The optimization the production of selected medicinal substances The diploma thesis dealt with optimization of production of fingolimod by hydrogenation. During the optimization of production, there was reduction of benzylic hydroxygroup and nitrogroup of nitrofingotriol. Reduction of two different groups caused dividing process of hydrogenation into two phases. The original intention was to optimize production only in the autoclave, but the need of using acidic catalytical medium in first phase led to dividing the production into reduction in the reactor and following catalyzed hydrogenation, already in neutral conditions, in the autoclave. The way of preparation of active substance by using an autoclave had not been explored in detail before. Evaluation of optimization is a part of results. There are also production charges on pilot plant included in results. Because the results of procedure of the pilot unit were not uniform, it was necessary to continue in optimization even after finishing the production in pilot plant. Following procedure modified according to the latest experiments was passed to the operating process.
