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.

Mechanical properties of cell membranes
Pírková, Marcela ; Pochylý, František (referee) ; Fialová, Simona (advisor)
This thesis is a research character focused on the analysis of mechanical properties of cell membranes. The main aim is to find methods that will break the structure of the membranes. In addition, the thesis deals with the microorganisms living in the reservoirs of the Czech Republic, the existing methods of water purification and the specific properties of microorganisms membranes. In the experimental part there is an attempt of hydrodynamic cavitation, the whole process is tested on biomass of cyanobacteria.

Dissolved gas effect on hydrodynamic cavitation
Piňos, Ondřej ; Fialová, Simona (referee) ; Rudolf, Pavel (advisor)
Thesis is focused on hydrodynamic cavitation in gas saturated liquid flowing in microfluidic circuit with Ventruri noozle. Thesis describes theoretical base in fields of: gas saturation of liquids, cavitation inception, diffusion mechanisms and cavitation collapses. In practical part experiment on microfluidic circuit was done. In pressurised tank liquid was saturated by gas, after letting the mixture into noozle we observed beginning of cavitation by acoustic and visual way. Inception of cavitation was also observed by -\sigma graphs. With increasing pressure in tank we observed developed cavitation, its persistivity was compared with increasing amount of gas in liquid. Measured values are supported by theoretical part of thesis. There was nonconformity in comparison of demineralised water and tap water saturated by air, where demineralised water cavitated during higher cavitation numbers for saturating pressures of 4 and 6 kPa. Further research could focus on undersaturated water as well as on better control of water properties, especially on number of nuclei within.

Removal of organic pollution using advanced oxidation processes
Přibilová, Petra ; Kučerík, Jiří (referee) ; Chýlková, Jaromíra (referee) ; Opatřilová, Radka (advisor)
The presented doctoral thesis deals with the use of advanced oxidation processes combining hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) to produce hydroxyl and sulfur-based radicals. The investigated micropollutants are selected natural estrogens estrone (E1), 17-estradiol (E2), estriol (E3) and synthetic 17-ethinylestradiol (EE2). The theoretical section includes information on the properties of estrogens, their occurrence and effects in the environment on non-target organisms across trophic levels; and list of options for their removal from wastewater. The advanced oxidation processes themselves are also discussed and current knowledge in this area is summarised. In the research section, used analytical methods (LC-MS/MS and spectrophotometry), designs of individual experiments and results of tested processes are described. In addition monitoring the efficiency of different combinations of hydrodynamic cavitation and other agent and the suitability of the materials used on the experimental unit were also investigated. The sorption/desorption onto the surface of selected plastic materials (SBR, EPDM, PTFE, Tygon S3TM, PVDF and PVC) was also evaluated. Based on the results, the material for the unit - on which the degradation experiments were carried out - was selected. The methods chosen for the removal of estrogens from water were HC/H2 O2 , HC/O3, HC/percarbonate, HC/persulfate, hydrodynamic cavitation alone, and H2O2 alone. The design of the experiments was created to minimize the time required to treat the water, ideally one cycle per unit (4 seconds), which corresponds to the flow-through arrangement of the system.
