Szkandera, Roman ; Chýlková, Jaromíra (referee) ; Čelechovská, Olga (referee) ; Řehůřková, Irena (referee) ; Dočekalová, Hana (advisor)
The theoretical part of this doctoral thesis deals with determination of mercury and its species in aquatic systems. Special attention is paid to the use in situ sampling technique diffusive gradients in thin films technique (DGT) and its development. Current resin gels used for determination of mercury by DGT technique Duolite GT-73, Chelex-100 and Spheron-Thiol are described. Moreover, new types of resin gels including Iontosorb AV modified by imidazole or 6-mercaptopurine and commercially available titanium dioxide. Preparations of resin gels and their basic tests in model solution according to DGT Research are described. Mercury accumulation in relation to time and basic recovery test were tested and capacity of resins was determined. All tested resins meet the requirements of basic DGT Research tests and relative standard deviations of mercury in recovery tests were lower than 10 %. The sorption capacity of resins varied from 1,5 to 6 µmol.l-1 and decreased in following order: Duolite GT-73 > ISAV-IM > Chelex-100 > Spheron-Thiol > TiO2 > ISAV-MP. Mercury sorption on resins was investigated under conditions similar to those in natural waters. It was found that the ionic strength commonly occurring in natural waters does not affect the determination of mercury. The presence of chlorides significantly affects the determination of mercury using DGT with titanium dioxide and therefore this sorbent can not be recommended for the determination of mercury in sea waters. The accumulated amount of mercury, depending on the pH shows that all the sorbents can be used in natural waters with pH in the range form 4 to 8. Mercury sorption is most affected by the presence of humic acids, especially at ion-exchange resins containing other than thiol functional groups. The exception is titanium dioxide for which physical sorption of humic acid metal complexes is typical. Cadmium and copper in model solutions in the molar balance of the excess mostly influenced the sorption of mercury on Chelex-100 and Spheron-Thiol resins. After laboratory tests, the DGT units with studied sorbents were used for the determination of mercury in natural waters of South Moravia (Svratka, Jihlava and Svitava river). Mercury concentration determined using DGT units containing Duolite GT-73 resin was comparable to the total dissolved concentration of mercury in river water provided by direct determination using AAS technique. Order of magnitude smaller concentrations than the total dissolved mercury concentration were found using DGT containing Spheron-Thiol and ISAV-MP resins. These sorbents are probably able to capture only mercury present in the form of labile complexes. This can be used for speciation analysis if more DGT units with different resins are deployed together. Subtracting the measured DGT Spheron-Thiol or ISAV-MP concentrations from the DGT Duolite GT-73 concentration, information about the amount of mercury present in the form of stabile complexes can be obtained. The amount of mercury determined after application of DGT units containing ISAV-IM, Chelex 100 or TiO2 can probably represent the mercury fraction bound in even weaker complexes than fraction determined by Spheron-Thiol and ISAV-MP DGT.

Options eliminate odors in sewer network
Žíla, Radim ; Malaník,, Stanislav (referee) ; Hluštík, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis focuses on the possibility of removing odor on the sewer network. The first part of the research describes how the odor is generally perceived and what legislation regulates its quantity in the air. The second part of the research focuses on problems of formation of smelting sulfate on the sewer network. This section describes the formation of sulfane as a major component of odor. Further disclosed are methods for its removal, and the ways in which the odor is measured. The practical part deals with laboratory testing of pre-selected fillings in order to determine their ability to remove odorous sulfane. In the second part, on-line measurements are made to determine the causes of sulphan formation in a given location.

Eliminating odors in the sewer network
Novotný, Jiří ; Malaník,, Stanislav (referee) ; Hluštík, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis focusses on the elimination of odor in the sewer system. Firstly, the paper contains the research in problematics of the origin, control and risks of the hydrogen sulfide for humans as well as for the sewer system. Secondly, the paper describes methods for hydrogen sulfide removal from water, air and in addition to that the selected sorbents are described in detail. Practical part deals with sorbent testing for hydrogen sulfide removal in laboratory environment. The practical part also follows up the odor in the particular area through sorption on sewer filters. From the measured data and from the results of the laboratory analyzes the consequences of the odor are evaluated and recommendations for the operator are presented.

Klasifikace korozního poškození historického olova a systém prostředků pro jeho konzervaci
Kouřil, Milan ; Ďurovič, Michal ; Bartl, Benjamin ; Strachotová, Kristýna Charlotte ; Msallamová, Šárka
Mnohé muzejní a archivní instituce se v současnosti potkávají s problematikou koroze olověných sbírkových předmětů, uložených v depozitářích, způsobenou citlivostí olova vůči těkavým organickým sloučeninám (VOC), zejména vůči kyselině octové. Zvláštní skupinou těchto olověných předmětů jsou olověné buly (kovové pečeti), které bývají obvykle připojeny k pergamenovým listinám pomocí textilního závěsného materiálu. Metodika zavádí systém kategorizace korozního poškození olověných pečetí a hodnocení podmínek jejich uložení a navrhuje postupy konzervačních opatření vhodné pro možné varianty výsledky průzkumu stavu pečetí a expozičních podmínek. Navržené konzervační postupy jsou založeny především na eliminaci agresivních složek prostředí volbou vhodných obalových materiálů a použitím sorbentů.

Možnosti represivních aktivit HZS při havárii s únikem ropných látek do vodního prostředí
Buršík, Adam
This bachelor thesis deals with the possibilities of repressive activities of the fire brigade in the event of an accident with the release of petroleum substances into the aquatic environment. The individual chapters describe crude oil and petroleum substances in general, the activities of the fire brigade and the components of the integrated rescue system in the case of the oil pollution accident with the risk of water pollution. In a specific fire protection unit, the technical means for the disposal of petroleum substances, the technical equipment and the protective equipment of the intervening personnel in the event of a disaster are documented.
