Determination of organic compounds in biochar produced by microwave torrefaction of biomass
Meindl, Jiří ; Vávrová, Milada (referee) ; Mravcová, Ludmila (advisor)
The thesis is focused on a determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contained in dried pelletized sewage sludge and pelletized biochar. Biochars were made in mild conditions by microwave torrefaction of prepared sewage sludge. There were analyzed and quantified the 34 of standardized PAHs compounds in two series. The first serie, also called “Sada 1”, has been aimed at comparison of extraction methods for the chosen sample of sewage sludge and the sample of biochar. In serie “Sada 1”, there were compared efficiencies of chosen type of solvent or solvent mixture by comparison of yields for 34 standardized analytes in a sample of biochar and a sample of sewage sludge. There were compared also to total yields of PAHs and to number of quantified compounds in analyzed samples. The most reliable extraction method has been used for the next analyses of samples in the second serie called “Sada 2”. In Sada 2, there were compared different samples of the same type (e.g. biochar, sludge). The origin of sewage sludge (small or big sewage treatment plant expressed as PE) and used additives (cellulose, chaff, hay) as modificators for torrefaction process were variables for different type of sample. The results of analysis were identification of the most suitable sewage sludge and additive to be used as modificator for microwave torrefaction process. The main goal of correctly chosen sludge and additive was to minimize production of PAH’s during torrefaction and in samples of biochar.

Influence Of Ambient Atmosphere To Active Material Of Disassembled Li-Ion Accumulator
Karmazinova, Katerina
At the present time the worldwide hot topic is recycling. How to deal with the product at the end of its life cycle? This paper is focused on recycling of active cathode material of lithiumion accumulators. The research considers the influence of ambient atmosphere on different types of lithium-ion accumulators within a time period. As the recycling method was chosen the solvent extraction. The results show a comparison of two the most common used cathode materials for lithium-ion accumulators – LiCoO2 and LiMn1/3Ni1/3Co1/3O2. At the forefront is the time period from disassembly the lithium-ion accumulator to extract cathode active material without structure changes due to the effect of the air atmosphere.
