Cement mixtures and their utilization in castings production to improve working environment
Svobodová, Radka ; Cupák, Petr (referee) ; Burianová, Klára (advisor)
This bachelor thesis describes the production of cement, its subdivision and use in industy, its chemical, physical and technological properties. Here it is writen about its virtues and qualities, but also about drawbacks and deficiencies. For the cement mixtures is important their porosity and total recovery in cement mixtures. As a result of the environmental protection, it is written about recovery and recycling of cement and its subsequent use as well. This thesis also involves laboratory measurement of mechanical properties.

Infusorial Earth - Reactive Admixture for Cement Composites
Zimmermann, Štěpán ; Žižková, Nikol (referee) ; Rovnaníková, Pavla (advisor)
The aims of this bachelor´s thesis are the properties and the use of diatomaceous earth as a partial replacement of cement in concrete. It provides information about the origin of diatomaceous earth, sedimentation of dead diatoms and variety of algae, including chemical and physical properties of the diatoms according to origin. The paper also contains information about significant deposits of diatoms, the manner and intensity of mining, including treatment of raw diatomaceous earth for further use. The main use of diatomaceous earth is in the filtration, which represents more than half of total consumption. An important factor for use in building is a high content of amorphous SiO2 and associated pozzolana activity of diatomaceous earth. The experimental part was carried out research on the influence of diatomaceous earth as pozzolanic admixtures on the properties of cement mortars. Tested specimens were obtained by adding 10% diatomaceous earth by weight of cement in the cement mortars. As admixtures were use three diatomaceous earth of different chemical composition, particle size and pozzolanic activity. The evaluated parameters were mortar density, flexural and compressive strength. The microsture of mortars were also observed. Test results were compared with those determined by reference mortars.

Pozzolanic Activity of Silicon Dioxide
Barek, Jaroslav ; Žižková, Nikol (referee) ; Rovnaníková, Pavla (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to investigate and identify the present status of resources with dominant amorphous silicon dioxide content and summarize feasible test methods to assess pozzolanic activity. The use of pozzolan as a partial replacement of Portland cement reduces the carbon dioxide emitted per tonne of product and can also improve various physical properties of the resulting cementitious composites. Assessment of the pozzolanic activity of cement replacement materials is increasingly important because of the economic sustainability of cementing materials. The pozzolanic activity of wheat straw ash, silica fume, nanosilica, two diatomites, glass powder and expanded perlite have been investigated and compared using the strength activity index test, the modified Chapelle test and the pozzolanicity test in accordance with the European Standard EN 196-5. From an experimental investigation of seven different pozzolans, the following main conclusions can be drawn. In the case of an acid-base titration (determination of [OH–], the procedure specified in EN 196-5) is better to use Tashiro (mixed indicator) instead of required methyl orange, Tashiro changes color at the endpoint of a titration distinctly. Strength activity index: the procedure used was based on EN 450-1. In its current form, this procedure is misleading because of two other significant properties of the pozzolan, namely its density and its water-reducing/increasing capabilities. Based on the results of our experimental investigation, the current testing procedure is evaluated against an alternative in which the 25% pozzolan replacement for cement is performed on a volumetric basis and the volume fraction of water is held constant.

Modification of dry stuff with lime sludge
Švec, Jiří ; Kovářová, Alena (referee) ; Ptáček, Petr (advisor)
In modern point of view of waste management is desirable to effectively process the grates possible amount of wastes. Sediments from cleaning of mined lime stones contains a lot of clay components, but there is also indispensable share of soft calcite. Especially this can be use in following processing. After firing, where is necessary to set suitable temperature, arises a mixture of soft calcinated lime and remaining dehydrated mineral components. This calcinated mixture could partially replace used binders in dry stuffs.

Mixing cement for special purposes
Hrdina, Matěj ; Kulísek, Karel (referee) ; Fridrichová, Marcela (advisor)
Thesis deals with the technology of production of portland cement its raw material composition, mineralogical composition, theory of clinker minerals during firing and possible mixing with other materials suitable character. It provides an overview of specialty cements. It was prepare a proposal cement mixtures normatively called "Masonry cement." Cement was examined on required properties depending on the amount and the type of chemical additives.
