Soil gel as a suitable matrix for the study of humic substances in the soil ecosystem
 Černý, Pavol ; Pekař, Miloslav (referee) ; Enev, Vojtěch (advisor)
This master's thesis deals with a complex issue of soil gels. The main goal of this work is to optimize the process of isolation of soil gels out of the soil matrix. Isolation is carried out using only water and therefore represents a promising method for study of humic substances (HS) in natural form. Modal brown earth from the area of Veverské Kninice was used as a soil matrix for isolation. The isolated soil gel was phisicochemically characterized by thermal and spectroscopic methods. By using EA and TGA, the content of biogenic elements in the organic component of soil gel and the content of the inorganic component was determined. The inorganic component represents a majority share in structure of soil gel with values up to 90 % w/w. Mineralogical composition of the inorganic component was described using XRD, with quartz being the most represented. Chosen macro and microelements were determined by ICPOES and the results show a noticeable increase in the content of some elements, that form complexes with HS. Organic component was studied using spectroscopic methods FTIR and XPS, which clearly showed that the primary components of the organic matrix are HSs. For this reason, absorption coefficients EET/EBZ, E2/E3 a E2/E4 were determined using UV/Vis spectrometry. Morphology of isolated soil gels was studied by using SEM and the photographs show mineral particles covered with clusters of humic matrix.
