Study of sorption properties of biochar
Kocinger, Oskar ; Řezáčová, Veronika (referee) ; Mravcová, Ludmila (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with sorption properties of biochar produced from wood biomass treated with concentrated hydrochloric acid and activated carbon with respect to the triazine pesticide propazine. Although pesticides are widely used in both agriculture and the private sector worldwide, they pose a significant risk to ecosystems and human health. Propazine belongs to the group of chlorinated triazine herbicides, which pose a risk mainly as endocrine disruptors. The sorption of organic pollutants using pyrogenic carbonaceous materials promises an efficient and economically affordable solution, which has recently received increasing attention from the scientific community. In this work, we used isotherms to describe the equilibria of propazine sorption to given sorbents during vial experiments. Analysis of the propazine content in the model water solutions after reaching equilibrium was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography with mass detection.

Establishment of method for determination of selected triazine pesticides in water using GC-MS/MS
OPEKAR, Jan
This bachelor thesis deals with the determination of triazine pesticides in water using GC-MS/MS. Firstly, the development and optimisation of an analytical method was performed. The following parameters of the analytical method were chosen for optimisation: carrier gas flow rate, temperature gradient, selection of SRM transitions and collision energy of SRM transitions. Then, several extraction parametres such as SPE column drying time, selection of elution solvent, sample pH and sample volume were optimised. Finally, the method was successfully validated and applied to the analysis of a real tap water sample.
