Utilization of hydrodynamic cavitation for water treatment
Balko, Marek ; Kozák, Jiří (referee) ; Rudolf, Pavel (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the observation of features of cavitation with emphasis on the hydrodynamical cavitation and its use for eliminating unwanted and badly degradable compounds from water. Thanks to high temperature and pressures that are present at a colapse of cavitation bubbles the water decomposes into highly reactive hydroxile radicals which are able to decompose even. This effect can furthermore be strenghtened by the use of advanced oxidation processes – AOP. The experimental part of thesis is dedicated to examining a ability of hydrodynamical cavitation degrade particular chemical substance from water, namely estrogen.

Removing of organic dyes from water using polyacrylamide hydrogel nanocomposites
Špalová, Anna ; Klusoň, Petr (advisor) ; Krystyník, Pavel (referee)
The unavailability and pollution of water resources have become significant global challenges. Hydrogels composed of cross-linked polymers have emerged as advanced adsorbents for wastewater treatment, owing to their convenient handling and high efficiency. By incorporating appropriate components into the hydrogel structure, the affinity of a specific pollutant to the hydrogel can be modified. Consequently, the resulting hydrogel nanocomposite can display enhanced adsorption capacity, specific selectivity, and other desirable properties. In this thesis, the efficiency of polyacrylamide hydrogel nanocomposites in the removal of organic dyes from water was investigated. Various composites were synthesized, incorporating graphene, kaolin, and laponite. The composition of these composites varied, employing different ratios of monomer to water and monomer to additive. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized hydrogels and their nanocomposites were examined. It was observed that the nanocomposites displayed reduced water-holding capacity compared to pure polyacrylamide hydrogels. The inclusion of additives led to a decrease in nanocomposite rigidity for graphene, minimal alteration in the case of kaolin, and an increase in rigidity for laponite. The compressibility modulus of the samples ranged...

The possibilities to use hydrothermally treated biowaste for air and water cleaning
Usťak, Sergej ; Muňoz, Jakub ; Usťaková, Marie
The aim of the methodology is to provide to farmers, agricultural consultants, biogas plants owners and operators, originators and processors of biowaste, experts in the field of reclamation and recultivation, investors and other interested parties on issues concerned with the basic information on the use of hydrothermally treated biowaste, especially hydrothermally treated residues from anaerobic fermentation for water and air cleaning. In the introduction, the methodology provides a basic overview on literature regarding to coal similar materials, methods for their preparation, especially the way of hydrothermal carbonization, its basic characteristics and its possibilities and perspectives of application in practice. Furthermore, the methodology describes the actual results obtained during the research project usable in practice and provides their agrochemical, environmental and economic evaluation in the case of application at soils. At the end summarizes the main potential applications and uses of new products based on hydrothermally modified residues as essential components of the filter medium for water and air cleaning.
