Kaoline whitness improvement by mechano-chemical treatment
Uher, Samuel ; Bartoníčková, Eva (referee) ; Šoukal, František (advisor)
The thesis deals with the issue of increasing the whiteness of kaolin by acid leaching simultaneously with milling. Kaolin was prepared from kaolin raw material from the Otovice quarry (Sedlecký kaolin a.s.), which was subsequently grined in suspension with oxalic acid, tartaric acid or citric acid in a ball planetary mill. We had been observing the influence of the type and concentration of acid and grinding time on many aspects, such as: the whiteness index, the amount of leached Fe and Ti, the distribution of Fe and Ti in kaolin, and the kaolin structure order.

Possibilities of enhancement of kaolin whiteness by separation of components containing titanium
Vaculík, Josef ; Švec, Jiří (referee) ; Opravil, Tomáš (advisor)
Theme of the bachelor’s thesis is enhancement of kaolin whiteness primarily by removing titanium and iron. Titanium itself in the modification of anatase doesn’t decrease whiteness, more likely is the other way around. Unwanted modification is rutile, which is dark and it decreases substantially the whiteness of kaolin. The most significant impact on whiteness of kaolin has the iron (III) compounds that are usually contained with titanium in minor minerals in kaolin’s raw material. Main goal of thesis was to test the hydrothermal conditions on separation of parts containing titanium and iron from the kaolin’s material. Separation in the hydrothermal condition was performed by infusing kaolin in the solutions of acids of various concentrations. To find out the final whiteness of kaolin material after hydrothermal treatment was used UV-VIS method with reflective module and to find out the amount of iron and titan transferred to the solution of acids because of hydrothermal treatment was used ICP-OES method.

Optimization of kaoline flocculation process
Kurťák, Marek ; Švec, Jiří (referee) ; Šoukal, František (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with flocculation of Karlove Vary area kaolin raw materials, their sedimentation rate and correlation of the flocculation, and sedimentation properties with composition of a particular material. The research was composed of sedimentation rate monitoring, execution of COD test, and subjecting the materials emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma, ion chromatography and roentgen diffraction.

Development of anorthite ceramics
Toman, Boris ; Šveda,, Mikuláš (referee) ; Sokolář, Radomír (advisor)
When firing calcium ceramic materials creates a new crystalline phase anorthite. It can significantly improve the properties of ceramic body. This work deals with the possibilities of development anortitové ceramics using non-plastic raw materials, particularly alumina cement compared with conventional ceramics based on mullite.

Possibilities of enhancement of kaolin whiteness
Krahulová, Veronika ; Bartoníčková, Eva (referee) ; Opravil, Tomáš (advisor)
This thesis focuses on problematics of increasing the kaolin whiteness index. The aim of the thesis is to verify possibilities and efficiency of the mechanical method of increasing whiteness of kaolin using sand of a defined fraction. This method cannot be considered as a whitening operation of kaolin but as a pre-treatment of the raw material or as one of the steps in increasing the whiteness. There have been tested diverse proportions of added sand with which the batch of kaolin material was intensively mixed for various times. Moreover, there has been tested influence of water and total batch volume. To characterize prepared samples there have been used several methods; XRF and XRD analysis was used to determine the elemental and phase composition of raw kaolin before and after mechanical sand action. The UV - VIS method with reflectance was used to assess the achieved whiteness.

Increasing the whiteness of kaoline
Bartošík, Jan ; Ptáček, Petr (referee) ; Šoukal, František (advisor)
The thesis deals with the issue of increasing the whiteness index of kaolin raw material. The research was focused on floating the kaolin suspension and the subsequent processes related to increasing the whiteness index. Increasing the whiteness of the kaolin raw material took place on the basis of acid leaching. The eluents were based on sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, oxalic acid and sodium bisulfite. The leaching process was influenced by the temperature and concentration of the leaching agent. Floated and leached kaolin samples were characterized by several methods. The XRD method investigated the mineralogical composition and the kaolinite structure order. The distribution of chromogenic components was monitored by SEM-EDS. Residues of organic matter was determined by COD test and the concentration of chromogenic components in the extract was monitored by the ICP-OES method. Last but not least, the index of whiteness was measured, the increase of which is the aim of the diploma thesis, using a UV-VIS spectrometer with reflective extension.
