Production and characterization of regenerated humic acids
Uhrová, Anna ; Daniela,, Šmejkalová (oponent) ; Kučerík, Jiří (vedoucí práce)
A fraction of South Moravian lignite mined in Mír Mikulčice, Lignit Ltd. was modified by two oxidizers (HNO3, H2O2) and two “amphiphilic-like” agents (acetic and citric acids, respectively). Alkali extraction was used to obtain both humic acids from non-treated lignite and so-called regenerated humic acids. Several methods were used for characterization of obtained samples. Based on the results of elemental analysis, the C/O and C/H ratios were calculated and completed by FTIR measurement; that provided the information on aromaticity/aliphaticity of the samples and degree of carbon oxidation. To assess the distribution of molecular dimensions of humic aggregates the High Performance Size Exclusion Chromatography was used. To elucidate the mechanisms of processes occurring in the surface layer of water solutions the surface tension measurement was carried out. Obtained data were fitted with Szyszkowski equation to get parameters characterizing the surfactant efficiency of humic acids and indicating the nature of humic molecules responsible for their surface activity. Finally, the Pearson correlation was used to search the interrelationships among results obtained by the above-mentioned techniques.

Characterization of regenerated humic acids
Ivancová, Anna ; Ing. Daniela Šmejkalová,Ph.D. (oponent) ; Kučerík, Jiří (vedoucí práce)
The work deals with the physical characterization of humic substances, namely potassium and ammonium salts of regenerated humic acids extracted from South-Moravian lignite. The regeneration of lignite was based on the oxidation of lignite by means of nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide. Obtained samples of humic acids were analyzed by elemental analysis, which confirmed that the regeneration changed the distribution of elements in respective humic acids. Diluted aqueous solutions of humates were further analyzed by densitometer and high resolution ultrasonic spectroscopy. Obtained data were used for the determination of the compressibility and hydration. The relationship between those two parameters and way of humic acids preparation was discussed.
