Possibilities of using waste diatomaceous earth
Jonešová, Markéta ; Másilko, Jiří (referee) ; Opravil, Tomáš (advisor)
Waste diatomaceous earth is a by-product generated during a production of diatomaceous earth for filtration. It is a material with very specific properties, which has currently no use other than backfilling of mining areas. For this reason, this Bachelor thesis deals with exploration of potential utilization possibilities of this remarkable material. Analysis of the waste diatomaceous earth will be carried out, and the chemical and physical properties will be determined. During experimental part, a set of calcination tests will be carried out and evaluated with focus on properties of the waste diatomaceous earth, which could be significantly increased by the calcination process. For example, a pozzolanic activity could be significantly affected.

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.

Effect of partial replacement of Portland cement by diatomaceous earth on selected parameters of cement mortar
Rousková, Jana ; Sedlmajer, Martin (referee) ; Rovnaníková, Pavla (advisor)
The subject of this thesis is selected parameters cement mortars with partial replacement of Portland cement diatomaceous earth. This work provides information on the basic properties of diatomaceous earth and its deposits with a focus on deposit in Borovany. From the properties is very important pozzolanic activity due to the high content of amorphous silica of this soil. The main use of diatomaceous earth is in the area filtration and is used widely as a nutritional supplement. In the building industry, diatomite can be applied as an admixture to mortar and concrete, where it can, with its abilities, improve some physical mechanical properties. In the experimental part was diatomaceous earth, in its raw and calcined form, tested as admixture for cement pastes and mortars. The main criterion for evaluating these composites was bulk density, flexural and compressive strength. It was also investigated mineralogical composition, microstructure, freeze–thaw resistance and sulfate resistance.

Design of a kieselguhr filter body with vertical filter elements
Daněk, Jiří ; Marek, Tomáš (referee) ; Knoflíček, Radek (advisor)
The main goal of this diploma thesis is to design a filter body FKS 600 with vertical filter elements for beer filtration. The first part of the thesis deals with the current state of the market, evaluates the various types of filtration and their manufacturers, including its development and historical perspective. The following part uses the system approach for filter body design. The practical part of this diploma thesis is devoted to the design of the filter body FKS 600, this design is based on calculations of the pressure vessel. Assembly drawings and selected production drawings are processed for the filter body, which are annotated. The last part presents block diagrams and cost estimates for the production of prototypes or series, everything ends with a conclusion and summary for practice.

Reological properties of cement pastes modified by amorphous SiO2
Zimmermann, Štěpán ; Rovnaník, Pavel (referee) ; Vyšvařil, Martin (advisor)
The subject of this thesis are the rheological properties of cement paste with the addition of amorphous silicon dioxide. The basic rheological parameters are that describe the behavior of cement pastes in the fresh state. The work also included rheological tests including measurement principle and method of evaluation. Effect of mineral admixtures with high content of amorphous SiO2 is summarized the available scientific articles. In the experimental part, the effects of impurities with a high content of amorphous SiO2 on the rheological properties of fresh cement paste. It was tested by substitution of up to 10 % by weight of cement in the cement pastes mineral admixtures of different chemical composition, particle size and pozzolanic activity. Flow measurement was measured yield value, viscosity, and flow index. The stability of cement pastes was investigated oscillatory measurements. To complement the behavior pastes in the fresh state was determined by calorimetry. Test results were compared with those determined by reference samples and compared the effect of various ingredients.

Influence of Waste Diatomite as a Raw Material on the Properties of the Inorganic Foam Glass
Nguyen, Martin ; Sedlačík, Martin ; Sokolář, Radomír ; Opravil, Tomáš
This article deals with the manufacturing process of inorganic foam glass with utilization of waste diatomite as a raw material. The waste diatomite was first subjected to an analysis of chemical and mineralogical composition. The foam glass was formed by a powder sintering method by pressing into pellets with the addition of a foaming agent. After firing, the properties of the foam glass were investigated using an X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, bulk density, and compressive strength. The possibility of utilization of waste diatomite in raw material mixtures was investigated in accordance with the influence of firing temperature and the resulting properties of inorganic foam glass.
