An aftertreatment system for the passenger vehicles with a gasoline engine
Hána, Michal ; Fridrichová, Kateřina (referee) ; Böhm, Michael (advisor)
This thesis concentrates on the issue of reducing emissions from passenger vehicles with a gasoline engine. The introduction describes the individual emission components, their origin and impact on the environment and human organism. The main part of the thesis concentrates on possibilities of reducing emissions. The function and design solution for each component of the emission system is described. Furthermore, the specific solutions for several selected representatives from diverse vehicles categories are stated. These solutions are evaluated and custom configuration is designed given the selected parameters. In the conclusion are summarised the results of the thesis.

Stage IV Emission Standards for Tractor Engines
Vít, Jakub ; Beran, Martin (referee) ; Dundálek, Radim (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to explain the mechanism of injection of carbamide and its installation on a vehicle. The first part of this work deals with the reduction of pollutants in the exhaust gases and with the emissions standards which limit the level of pollutants in the exhaust gases. The second part consists of an overview of tractor brands available at Czech market and their classification based on the type of system they use on their new models to reduce the pollutants in the exhaust gases.

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.

Syngas composition influence on gas cleaning efficiency
Menšíková, Barbora ; Lisý, Martin (referee) ; Baláš, Marek (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the issue of pollution of the generated gas after the gasification process and its subsequent cleaning using a barrier filter. The theoretical part of thesis consists of research on the gasification process, the effects on the gasification process, pollutants in the gas and gas cleaning with a focus on the purification of gas from tar. The experimental part of this thesis is devoted to the gasification itself in a fluidized bed gasification reactor in order to test the effect of the catalyst, which was calcined dolomite, the composition of the gas at variable parameters of water vapor and the temperature inside the laboratory filter.

Pressure loss of catalyst carriers
Linda, Matúš ; Kilkovský, Bohuslav (referee) ; Jecha, David (advisor)
The diploma thesis is divided into four main parts. The first part deals with the issue of waste management and its energy utilization in waste incineration. Processed harmful substances produced by incineration as well as emission limits. It deals with the types of catalytic carriers, their description, production and more detailed processing of ceramic foam VUKOPOR. The second part is devoted to technologies utilizing catalytic processes and a more detailed specification of the process. In the third part there is processed the calculation methods for pressure losses for individual types of carriers. Fourth, the most extensive part describes the INTEQII experimental device, its technology and construction, as well as the principle of the practical part, measuring of the pressure losses of carriers. It includes the evaluation of pressure losses in separate categories of carriers, such as the bed, HoneyComb and VUKOPOR ceramic foam. Subsequently, a comparison of the pressure losses of all carriers is made relative to the reference size of 1 m. The impact of bonding of VUKOPOR foam samples on the size of pressure losses is discussed. At the end of this section, the suitability of calculation methods for individual carriers is evaluated, depending on the experimental pressure loss data.

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.

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.
