Basic characterization of selected samples of animal feeds
Svoboda, Ilona ; Hrstka, Miroslav (referee) ; Vítová, Eva (advisor)
The aim of the diploma thesis was to choose poper parameters for a quick and simple characterization of animal feed, to verify working procedures and to apply these on chosen samples. Within the scope of this work, samples of animal dog feed produced in a private company „Adamkovy tlacenky“ were analyzed. The feed is in the form of brawn, stored in artificial casing; it consists of up to 80% of animal components and up to 20% of vegetable components, while the rest of the weight is the pork gelatine. The feed does not contain preservatives, colourings as well as any other chemically produced additives. For the analysis three formulas were chosen: "Hovězinka", "Kuřátko" and "Srdcovka", the composition of which is protected by the patent. The choice was made to include samples of different composition. The content of raw crude protein, fat, fibre, dry basis, and ash was determined. The obtained values were compared with the standards for feed normally utilized by the feed industry. The results will be used to improve the formulas and to develop new types of feed.

Solid Particle Emissions from AgroPellets Combustion
Svoboda, Marek ; Milčák, Pavel (referee) ; Lisý, Martin (advisor)
This thesis is divided into two parts. The first part deals with defining the main concepts, properties of biomass and pellets. Further, the procedures for measuring agropellets properties according to valid standards are mentioned. The following is a selection of the raw materials for the production of agropellet, with the determination of their properties. The theoretical part closes background research emissions from combustion and emission standards for a solid fuel boiler. The second part is an experimental one, which determines the formation of solid pollutants in combustion of four types of pellets made from alternative sources. Here are the graphs of the gaseous emissions of each of them. At last there will be a comparison of emissions agro pellets with more widespread wood pellets.

Forming of solid pollutants from biomass
Havlínová, Denisa ; Štelcl, Otakar (referee) ; Baláš, Marek (advisor)
This bachelor‘s thesis is divided into two main parts. The first part is research and deals mainly with biomass and pollutants. In this section, we will find a two-dimensional distribution of biomass, a comparison of fuel forms and a discussion of basic pollutants with a focus on solid pollutants. The second part is experimental. It starts with a fuel laboratory, where the water, ash and heat content of the biofuels examined is determined. The following is an investigation of the dependence of the PM formation on the properties of the biomass, which was measured by the measurement of these PM by the filters in the collecting device, while the examined biofuels were gradually burned on the fireplace insert.

The basic chemical parameters of several varieties of cherries
Boberová, Jana ; Vespalcová, Milena (referee) ; Hrstka, Miroslav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with determination of basic chemical parameters in sweet cherry (Prunus avium). In the theoretical part, the taxonomic classification of the cherry, its botanical characteristics and the pomology of several cultivars are mentioned. Also, the history of cultivation, appropriate conditions and most common diseases are listed. The last chapter deals with the chemical composition of the fruits. In the experimental part, the determination of selected chemical parameters of various cultivars (Karešova, Napoleonova and Stark Gold) were determined. The content of total solids was determined in the range of 14.53–18.15 %, soluble solids 13.96–16.44 %, ash 0.34–0.44 %, reducing sugars 6.89–10.18 % and nitrogenous substances 0.056–0.116 %. Ascorbic acid content was set at 26.1–44.1 mg/kg. The titratable acidity was determined in the range of 6.15–8.86 g of predominant malic acid in 1 kg of cherry and a formol number was determined from 194 to 297 ml of 0.1 M NaOH per 1 kg of edible fraction. The amount of anthocyanins was determined at 4–686 mg cyanidin-3-rutinoside/kg and total phenolic compounds at 0.91–1.47 g gallic acid/kg. All data are based on fresh fruit weight.

The basic chemical parameters of several varieties of sour cherries
Komárek, Šimon ; Vítová, Eva (referee) ; Hrstka, Miroslav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with determination of basic chemical parameters in sour cherry (Prunus cerasus). Three different cultivars Köröšská, Pandy 6039 and Šumadinka were examined. The content of total solids varied from 13,32 to 15,22 %, soluble solid content amounted for 12,04–14,60 %, ash 0,4 %, reducing sugars 4,9–6,9 %, nitrogenous substances 0,11–0,12 %, L-ascorbic acid 343–456 mg/kg. Titratable acidity ranged from 15,1 to 21,8 g malic acid equivalent/kg, formol number 268–373 ml of 0,1 NaOH/kg. Total anthocyanins varied from 308 to 1104 mg cyanidin 3-glucoside equivalent/kg and total phenolics ranged from 1,05 to 3,99 g gallic acid equivalent/kg. All data are applied to fresh fruit weight.

Basic chemical properties of fruits of selected cherry varieties
Chmil, Vojtěch ; Vítová, Eva (referee) ; Diviš, Pavel (advisor)
Diploma thesis is focused on chemical characteristics of nine selected sweet cherry varieties in nine parameters. Total and soluble solids were analyzed with these results 13.07–16.58 % for total and 14.67–19.50 °Brix for soluble solids, ash content 0,31–0,39 %, titratable acidity 5.44–9.91 g of malic acid per 1 kg of fresh cherries and formol number 14.45–23.73 ml of 0.1 M NaOH per 100 g of cherries. Then there were analyzed crude proteins content calculated from total nitrogen content determined by Kjeldahl method with results 0.41–0.68 % of crude proteins. Molecular absorption UV/VIS spectrophotometry was used for determination of total phenolic substances 0.30–0.89 g of gallic acid per 1 kg of cherries and total content of anthocyanins 128–848 mg of cyanidine-3-glucoside in 1 kg of cherries. Saccharides were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ELSD detector. Content of glucose was 45.45–59.49 g/kg and fructose 46.88–60.01 g/kg. All results are compiled using tables and graphs and discussed. Experimental part of the thesis also describes principles and procedures of every analysis, so it can be reproduced. In theoretical part there is described botanical characteristic of cherry tree (Prunus avium L.), active substances contained in its fruits and their use in food industry. At the end of the theoretical part there is described instrumentation of high-performance liquid chromatography.

Analysis of ash from fireplace
Drápela, Jakub ; Špiláček, Michal (referee) ; Hrnčířová, Michaela (advisor)
This bachelor thesis should familiarize readers with the size of analysis of ashes of fireplace inset. The work is posssible to divide into two parts, when the first one is devoted to a description of fireplace insets, fuels and subsequent processes during burning in fireplace insets and to individual methods used for size analysis of particles.The other part is focused on practical measurements of individual samples of ashes and subsequent evaluation.

The Effect of Sawdust on the Refractoriness of Insulation Chamotte
Smékalová, Veronika ; Kotásek, Martin (referee) ; Sokolář, Radomír (advisor)
Lightweight refractory products have their place between refractory materials. Still the most common way of lightweighting is by using burnable components. This bachelor work includes the theoretical part, which deals with raw materials for lightweight fireclay, manufactory, and also testing lightweight refractory products. The second part of this work deals with foreign research and its results in this area. The practical part examines the influence of the types of sawdust (spruce or beech) on properties of lightweight refractory materials. The work focuses mainly on heat resistance, temperature usability, thermal conductivity, and density. These properties are evaluated with consideration to the ash which is created by burning sawdust.
