Application of fly ashes from fluid bed coal combustion within refractory materials
Kotrla, Jan ; Bartoníčková, Eva (referee) ; Šoukal, František (advisor)
The thesis deals with the possibility of utilization of fluid ash in refractory materials and its influence on resulting properties. This work studies the effect of bed and filter ash addition on properties of the droplet and resulting mechanical properties, bulk density, shrinkage and firing temperature of stove fireclay. The subject of this thesis is also reduction of SO2 emissions evolved burning of fireclay containing fluid ash rich of anhydrite. Emissions of SO2 were observed by TG-TDA-EGA method. Characterization of prepared samples and study of heat treatment processes was based on XRD, TG-DTA-EGA, TDA, SEM–EDS, heating microscope and isothermal calorimetry.

Water soluble foundry binders with heat hardening
Vaverka, Jiří ; Rusín, Karel (referee) ; Cupák, Petr (advisor)
This thesis is focused on water soluble foundry binders with heat hardening. The thesis comprises general description of moulding mixtures, the description of the most common methods used for heat hardening and primarily the list of current and alternative binders, which reduce negative environmental impact of foundries. Also their qualities, benefits and drawbacks are included.

Changes of slag particles during its alkaline activation
Petrů, Ludmila ; Hrubý, Petr (referee) ; Bílek, Vlastimil (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with changes of slag particles during its alkaline activation. The altered parts of the slag as well as the course of the alkaline activation varies depending on the activator used, and therefore suspensions of blast furnace slag in sodium hydroxide, water glass, sodium carbonate and, for comparison, in water were prepared. Slag particles were isolated from these suspensions at selected time intervals (5 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 5 h and 24 h) for particle size analysis and evaluation of BET specific surface. After solidification, the microstructure of the samples was observed using an electron microscope. To better assess the reaction processes, the pore solution was isolated from the suspensions and its composition was analyzed using optical emission spectrometry in inductively coupled plasma. The hydration process was monitored using isothermal calorimetry.

Study of shrinkage reducing admixture efficiency in alkali activated systems
Fojtík, Ondřej ; Koplík, Jan (referee) ; Bílek, Vlastimil (advisor)
Significant drying shrinkage is one of the major issues for the wider application of materials based on alkali-activated slag (AAS). Some shrinkage reducing admixtures (SRA) were developed for the ordinary portland cement systems. A couple of previous studies focused on the efficiency of these SRA in alkali-activated materials. The studies were mainly concentrated on the SRA based on polypropylene glycol. This thesis deals with efficiency of the SRA based on 2 methyl-2,4-pentanediol in AAS pastes and mortars. Influence of the SRA and activator (waterglass) dose on the drying shrinkage and other properties of AAS (flexural and compressive strength, autogenous shrinkage, workability, setting time and microstructure) were investigated. It was found, that at the activator dose when Na2O/slag mass ratio equals 4 or 6 %, SRA causes retardation of hydration, which leads to shrinkage reduction, however strength is reduced significantly, weight lost during the drying is increased and the coarsening of the pore structure occurs. At the activator dose when Na2O/slag mass ratio reaches 8, 10 or 12 %, in the presence of SRA the drying shrinkage is reduced, weight lost during the drying is similar to the reference, strength is increased and microstructure is unchanged against reference. It has been proved that SRA works properly in AAS only at higher activator doses.
