The use of biochar as a sorption material for the removal of synthetic fragrances from water
Kašparová, Jarmila ; Zlámalová Gargošová, Helena (referee) ; Mravcová, Ludmila (advisor)
Synthetic fragrances (musk) are artificially produced organic compounds. It is used as fragrance ingredient in personal care products. Substances from this group have the ability to withstand the cleaning process in wastewater treatment plants. The physico-chemical properties of musk compounds cause their accumulation in the living and non-living components of the ecosystem, where they behave as persistent pollutants. The adsorption process is considered to be one of the most widely used separation and purification processes. The adsorption processes of a solution of sixteen synthetic fragrances took place with biochar and activated carbon. Solid phase microextraction (SPME) was used as a method for extracting analytes. Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was applied for final analysis, time of flight analyzer was used as detector. The data were fitted with adsorption isotherms.

Vliv kombinace biouhlu a zinečnatých nanočástic na rostliny kukuřice seté kultivovaných v in vitro podmínkách
Szomolaiová, Erika
Combined application of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and biochar could be a perspective tool for enhancing plant viability and mitigating a large scale of stresses in crops. To investigate effect of different concentrations of ZnO NPs (0, 50, 100 and 1000 mg/L), biochar, and their combination on corn plants (Zea mays L.), in vitro experiment took place. Zinc uptake in form of zinc NPs and possible effect of biochar on zinc uptake and accumulation were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. A positive correlation between ZnO NPs concentration and zinc content in shoots was identified. There was no significant difference observed in plants treated with biochar. Physiological state of plants was evaluated by spectrophotometric analysis of photosynthetic pigments and secondary metabolites. The most significant effect was observed in content of phenolic compounds that increased with increasing ZnO NPs concentration. On the contrary, presence of biochar resulted in significant decrease (p < 0,05) of polyphenols.
