Methods of Determination of Moisture Content
Bezdíček, Jiří ; Lachman, Jakub (referee) ; Lisá, Hana (advisor)
With the growing interest in the energy use of biomass in the form of solid biofuels, the requirements for determining the moisture content of these fuels are also growing. Moisture is an important factor not only in the production of biofuels, where the moisture values must be ideal, eg in the production of pellets, but also in storage and other processes. The aim of the work was to determine the suitability of methods for determining moisture for various types of solid biofuels. The main subject of interest was fuels with grain structure. A search of the basic distribution of fuels and introduced and new methods for determining moisture was performed. The research was focused on oven drying methods. The result is the determination of the unsuitability of the method of drying scales for fuels with grain structure, the suitability of all investigated methods for wood fuels, the accuracy of the reference method for most fuels and the susceptibility of the analytical method to the homogeneity of the test portion.

Fuel properties: Determination of moisture solid fuels
Tretera, Michal ; Musilová, Petra (referee) ; Lisá, Hana (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the determination of moisture content in solid fuels. First part contains classification of solid fuels, proximate analysis of solid biofuels and a research of methods for determination of moisture content in solid biofuels. Description of impacts of the moisture content on fuel is included in the proximate analysis. Second part of the thesis is experimental. Thirteen solid biofuels and one solid recovered fuel were measured to obtain their moisture content. The methods used to determine the moisture content include four different drying methods and a xylene distillation method. For each method there are details of the procedure and a summary of the results.

The energetic use possibilities of wood from apple tree pruning and some other
Usťak, Sergej ; Šinko, Jan ; Honzík, Roman
The objective of this methodology is to provide to farmers, agricultural consultants, manufacturers of shaped solid biofuels, operators of boilers using biofuels, workers in research and agricultural education, and to all others interested persons in growing and processing agricultural biomass as a renewable source of raw materials and energy, the basic information about the energetic use of wood from apple tree pruning and some other fruit woods. Applying of this methodology in practice can provide environmentally acceptable and economically effective use of such wood waste. At the introduction, this work provides a basic overview of literary information on relevant issues. Furthermore, the methodology describes own outcomes obtained during the research project usable in practice and provides chemical, energetic and economic evaluation. At the conclusion is presented a summary assessment of the achieved outcomes and a general recommendation for practice.

Příprava, vlastnosti a využití tuhých biopaliv -- vybrané aspekty
Klepárník, Jan
This PhD thesis deals with problems covering production of pallets and chunky wood, using small-scale technologies. There are particularly solved issues focused on fuel embedded energy and return on investment. Further, solid biofuels properties are discussed, and then the study of solid biofuels use in small hear sources was made being focused on the Czech Republic conditions. Particular attention is paid to problems with automatic pellet ignition. The last part is devoted to presenting partial results of a forwarder prototype, which is being solved currently.
