Study of physiological changes in plants under stress by zinc ions
Adam, Rostislav ; Soudek, Petr (advisor) ; Petrová, Šárka (referee)
Heavy metals are part of us life for many centuries. Some of them are for living organism neccessary, but in large amount they have toxic effects. So we should decrease amount of heavy metals in the Environment. We have many way to do it. A relatively new way are the phytoremediation. If we would use the phytoremediation, we should know, what they do in plants. We must use specific plants, which are tolerant to certain heavy metal. If we would select a suitable plant, we have to try, how heavy metals in soil solution are toxic to plants. Zinc is no expection, although it is important part of many proteins. In plants it make rusty leaves and reduct aboveground and root biomass production. In hydroponic experiment I investigated that mallow Malva verticillata was very sensitive to low additon of Zn(NO3)2. The toxic efect appeared in 2 weeks. In sorghum Sorghum bicolor zinc show expressive toxic effect at concentration 1 mmol/l. I studied six cultivars of Sorghum bicolor, DSM 14-535, Expres, Honey Graze BMR, Nutri Honey, Sucrosorgho 506 and Sweet Virginia. According EC50 I as- sessed that the most sensitive was Sucrosorgho 506 and very tolerant were Nutri Honey and Sweet Virginia. Cultivar Nutri Honey was characteristic. It had the highest ratio concentration in shoot to concentration in root. I studied...

Thorium in environment
Adam, Rostislav ; Soudek, Petr (advisor) ; Petrová, Šárka (referee)
All known isotopes of thorium are radioactive, 6 of them occur in nature decay chains. Thorium forms mainly cation Th4+ . Because thorium behaves like REE, Ce, Zr, Hf, Sc and U, it is a problem with thorium separation. There is requested leach thorium from ore for production of thorium. Monazite is mostly used for industrial production of Thorium. Electrolysis or chemical reduction are the most spread technologies for metal thorium production. For determination of thorium can be used many methods. Currently there is are usualy used radio-spectrometry or mass-spectrometry for determination of Thorium. Thorium occurs in small amounts in all parts of environment. Most of naturally occuring thorium are in the solid part of environment. Radioactive decay of thorium are using in geochronology. Thorium could be use in future as nuclear reactors fuel. Some other usage of thorium are catalyst in organic synthesis, Welsbach lamps or non-silicate glass. Thorium have also some chemical toxic efects for all organism, but more serious problem is its radioactivity. Final product of radioactive decay is lead. Non-stable products are radium, radon, bismuth, thalium and polonium. All products of radioactive decay have some specific chemical toxicity. 1

Návrh úpravy technologie a zařízení čistírny odpadních vod v obci Dyjákovičky
Adam, Rostislav
The main aim of the thesis is to propose or initiate how the technology of sewage treatment in village Dyjákovičky can be modified or upgraded. Special attention is paid to the legislative aspects and the efficiency and conditions of treated wastewater (effluent) that goes back to the recipient. Integral part of the thesis is classification of types of wastewaters and most frequent technologies used for wastewater treatment in small or medium size wastewater treatment plants using specific methods of mechanical pretreatment and biological processes. The technology equipment used in Dyjákovičky is described into details. In response to main aim of the thesis, the actual state of the equipment as well as the state of the whole wastewater plant are assessed in order to identify the main risks and threats. Identification of risks and threats also reflects the presumed demographic and legislative development of implementation of technological and operational measures to improve the parameters of treated water into the recipient.
