Use of biomarkers for assessing environmental pollution by platinum group metals
Nedvědická, Lucie ; Řezáčová, Veronika (referee) ; Komendová, Renata (advisor)
This diploma thesis in the theoretical part analyses the characteristic feature of individual platinum group elements, their toxicity, anthropogenic sources and the presence of platinum group elements in the environment of the Czech Republic. In addition, there are specified types of bioindicators focusing mainly on lichens, mosses and needles. There are described individual bioindication techniques and pre-treatment of samples for platinum metals determination in bioindicators. The subject of the experimental part is to verify the sorption efficiency and ability of platinum and palladium using the SPE method and to determine the actual platinum metal contamination in selected localities in the city of Brno. There was also the additionally subject to verify the sorption potential of selected bioindicators and determination of the environmental pollution by platinum metals using the bag technique. In the experimental part, the bioindicators of moss Pleurozium schreberi, lichen Xanthoria parietina, lichen Flavoparmelia caperata and needles Pinus nigra were used.

The use of ion exchanges for preconcentration of platinum group metals
Sýkora, Jiří ; Řezáčová, Veronika (referee) ; Komendová, Renata (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is the elaboration of a detailed literature review on the use of ion exchangers for the preconcentration of platinum group metals. This work contains an actual literature review on this issue. In this work you will find information about the current occurrence of platinum metals in the environment, their impact on health, properties, resources and the use. There are also described ways of decomposition, extraction and use of ion exchangers. In the experimental part this thesis deals with optimization of ion exchangers and following application of real samples from the city of Brno.

Application of electrochemical methods for the determination of platinum metals
Vašátko, Jan ; Řezáčová, Veronika (referee) ; Komendová, Renata (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the optimization of platinum determination conditions using electrochemical methods, namely voltammetric analysis. The theoretical part describes the physical and chemical properties of platinum and platinum group metals, their occurrence and their use. The theoretical part also deals with the toxicity of platinum group metals and their environmental cycles. Finally, other possible methods of determination are mentioned, including a detailed description of the voltammetric analysis. The experimental part describes the process of optimization of the conditions of voltammetric analysis of platinum and the application of the optimised method on real samples.
