Determination of platinum group metals in soils the city of Brno
Pavlíčková, Ivana ; Řezáčová, Veronika (referee) ; Komendová, Renata (advisor)
The diploma thesis focuses on identifying the presence of platinum in soil samples by absorption spectroscopy. The work is divided into two parts, the theoretical part is focused on the occurrence and behavior of platinum in the environment, the fundamental chemical and physical properties of platinum, its importance in catalytic converters in cars, on solid phase extraction method and the method for the determination of atomic absorption spectrometry. The second part is the practical part, focused on the determination of the platinum amount in the soil samples in the city of Brno.
Determination of pharmaceuticals in drinking waters using HPLC
Králová, Radka ; Čáslavský, Josef (referee) ; Vávrová, Milada (advisor)
The aim of the diploma thesis is the determination of macrolide antibiotics in drinking water by using of high performance liquid chromatography. Erythromycin and clarithromycin were selected such as representative macrolides due to frequently prescribed pharmaceuticals in this time. Solid phase extraction (SPE) by using of Oasis HLB cartridges was applied for pre concentration and purification of chosen analytes in real samples of drinking water. Optimalization of method and analysis were performed by using of high performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry detection (HPLC-MS). The suitable method was selected for determination of macrolides in real samples taken from two sources of drinking water, the interception of water in Litovel and Černovír Olomouc.
Biodegradation of polychlorinated biphenyls in underground water using biological approaches.
Šrédlová, Kamila ; Cajthaml, Tomáš (advisor) ; Innemanová, Petra (referee)
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a class of important organic pollutants which undergo very slow degradation and tend to persist for a long time in the environment. PCBs have various negative effects on living organisms, human health and the environment in general. A method for determining PCB levels in aqueous matrices was developed consisting of solid-phase extraction (SPE) and GC/MS determination. The average recoveries of PCB congeners from artificially spiked deionized water were around 85%. The PCB concentration of 3.3±0.1 μg·l-1 (a sum of selected congeners) was detected in contaminated groundwater originated from the area of a former asphalt concrete producing plant. The most abundant PCBs were trichlorinated congeners which together comprised about 80% of the total PCB content. The optimised SPE method was further applied together with accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) to assess the degradation potential of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) which shows high degradation efficiency of various organic pollutants including PCBs. P. ostreatus belongs to ligninolytic (white-rot) fungi, which is a very promising group of microorganisms frequently studied due to their bioremediation potential. P. ostreatus, strain KRYOS was able to remove 41±8% of the initial amount (50 μg) of the...
