Determination of mercury alkylderivatives in water ecosystem
Doležalová, Jana ; Vávrová, Milada (referee) ; Čáslavský, Josef (advisor)
Diploma thesis is oriented on the question of the fate and occurence of mercury and its derivatives in water ecosystems. At first, deep literature review will be worked out. At second, the optimal analytical procedure for the determination of mercury alkylderivatives in water ecosystem compartments will be proposed and verified. At third, real samples from selected water ecosystems will be taken and analyzed.

Sulfonamide residues in sediment and sludge from wastewater treatment plants
Chaloupková, Petra ; Lacina, Petr (referee) ; Vávrová, Milada (advisor)
The aim of the bachelor’s thesis was a method optimalization for extraction of sulfonamides from sediment and sewage sludge samples from wastewater treatment plants. This optimized method was used for analyzing sulfonamides in real soil and sewage sludge samples. Antibiotics are commonly used as a prevention and medicament for human and animals. Drugs and their residues enter to wastewater treatment plants within excrements and then they can be a part of sewage sludge or they can occur in treated water. It can also enter environment as a part of soils or sediments. Three extraction methods were chosen for optimizing; a pressurized solvent extraction, a microwave-assisted extraction and an ultrasonic extraction. Extracts were cleaned by solid phase extraction and analysed by liquid chromatography with diode array detector.

Tin and his species in the environment
Bušinová, Markéta ; Moos, Martin (referee) ; Doležalová Weissmannová, Helena (advisor)
Presented bachelor thesis is background research on tin and his species in the environment. Mainly deals with the effects of inorganic and organic compounds of tin on elements of environment. The work resumes accessible information about properties of tin and his compounds, entry of tin and his compounds into the elements of environment, cycle and occurrence of tin speciation in water, soils, sediments and biological materials.

Geologická charakteristika vybraných pískoven na Opavsku
Šiplák, Petr
This bachelor thesis deals with a problem of geological characteristics of particular sandpits in Opava area. As an illustrative example for the purpose of this thesis, the typical sandpits from this area were chosen. The origin of these sandpits is mostly the result of the continental glaciations in the Quaternary period and there are deposited the glaciofluvial sediments. In the selected sandpits, the mineral, rock and soil samples were taken and processed in a laboratory later. In addition, this thesis is also focused on the future use of sandpits after the mining will be finished, the influence of the mining on the ecosystem around as well as recultivation intentions. Besides, the other possible variations, which could be used in this process, are compared.

The Content of Mercury and Lead in Sediments from Vltava River and Lipno Reservoir.
MAŘÍKOVÁ, Helena
The aim of this thesis was to define and evaluate the load of sediments by exposure of mercury and lead on the upper flow of the Vltava river and in the Lipno lake. To evaluate possible influence of the glass factory in Lenora for pollution of this area by toxic metals mentioned above. The literature survey refers about problems of mercury and lead content in fresh water and reservoirs sediments, the structure of toxic heavy metals and risks of their release in the enviroment, then in chemical composition of water reservoirs. It also engages in glass manufacturing problems in the glass factory in Lenora, especially the raw materials, which where obviously used for its manufacture. Experimental part describes profile of sampling points, working methods, used chemicals and results of individual analyses. Sediments of the Lipno reservoir and the upper flow of the Vltava river aren{\crq}t seriously loaded with mercury or lead, but in the sediments below Lenora was shown multiple increase of lead and mercury content in comparison with the background. Forest soils has higher mercury content in all localities in comparison with the sediments. On the contrary, the content of EDTA-extractable lead in soils is lower. Detected isotopic ratio of lead 206/207 and 208/206 in sediments of the Vltava river below the glass factory in Lenora have different signature in comparison with the signature of sediments from the Vltava river above the glass factory. On the contrary the signature of lead in all sediments of the Lipno reservoir showed values relevant to natural background of this locality. The structure which corresponds to the lead from the glass factory was also surprisingly detected in humic horizont of the forest soils in Lenora{\crq}s surroundings. The thesis was extended with fish samples from Lipno reservoir and their liver{\crq}s load by lead and mercury content. There were determined isotop ratio (signature) of lead in the fish, the izotop ratio of lead not corresponds to the lead signature from the glass factory in Lenora.
