The study of PET bottles in terms of the content of risk elements
Kryštofová, Petra ; Řezáčová, Veronika (referee) ; Komendová, Renata (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of PET bottles in terms of the possible content of risk elements. The contents of antimony, copper and lead were determined in the PET packaging material and in the beverages contained in the bottles. A total of 15 samples of bottled still and infant water available in the Czech sales network were analyzed. The PET material was decomposed in an acidic medium under the action of microwave radiation under optimized conditions. Atomic absorption spectrometric methods with flame or graphite cuvette atomization were used to determine selected risk elements based on the predicted analyte concentrations. In the PET packaging material, 159.35 to 265.68 mgkg-1 of antimony were determined, the determined values of lead concentration were in the range of 10.96-20.23 mg·kg-1 and the copper concentration in the range of 0.11-7,52 mg·kg-1. In bottled water and in bottled infant water, antimony was identified only in samples labeled 6a, 8a, 9a and 15a, all lead concentrations were measured below LODPb, copper was determined only in samples 2a, 6a and 8a. In none of the samples did the concentrations given by the valid legislation be exceeded. The limits of these metals are not set in legislation in the packaging materials, only specific migration limits and they have not been exceeded. However, the high concentration of antimony in PET poses a potential risk of contamination of the contents of these packages.

The study of vertical mobility of heavy metals and their transfer to mushrooms
Jurnečka, Roman ; Doležalová Weissmannová, Helena (referee) ; Komendová, Renata (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of contamination of forest soils and edible mushrooms with lead, cadmium, copper and zinc in the Jeseníky Mountains, specifically in the Domašov and Vápenná forests. Sampling took place at 12 localities, divided into spruce and beech stands. Atomic absorption spectrometry AAS ContrAA 800D was chosen to determine the content of selected heavy metals. Based on the measured values of the concentrations of the studied metals and other soil properties, dependences were created to determine the vertical mobility of selected metals in the soil profile. Vertical mobility depends on the physico-chemical properties of the soil (pH, C and S content). The dependence of the content of selected heavy metals in the soil on the pH value of the soil was found. In the case of lead, the sorption capacity of the soil organic component was confirmed. The risk and above-limit content of Pb, Cd and Cu was found on the yellow-boletus mushroom. Cadmium shows the highest bioavailability. Lead was evaluated as the element with the lowest mobility.

Demonstrative manufacturing system controlled by MES utilizing AAS
Černocký, Petr ; Kaczmarczyk, Václav (referee) ; Arm, Jakub (advisor)
This work examines today's modern possibilities for production management. More specifically, we focus on MES and its integration within the concept of industry 4.0 using AAS. Furthermore, a search of available open-source MES systems and their description is performed. After their commissioning, their suitability for further use is discussed. There is also an analysis of tools for creating virtual models. The IMES application, which was subsequently slightly modified, and the RobotStudio virtual model creation tool are then selected from these analyzes. This application and tool are then used to implement virtual line control using a separate MES and to basic control using AAS.

Palladium in the environment
Hajdová, Jana ; Řezáčová, Veronika (referee) ; Komendová, Renata (advisor)
This work is focused on palladium in the environment. Its use is especially in the automobile industry as catalytic converters of motor vehicles, but also is applied in dental, jewelry making and electrical appliances. The release of this metal from automobile catalysts is getting into all environmental compartments (soil, road dust, water, plants), where goes to its accumulation. It can be a part of the food chain and cause health risks to humans. The work also focuses on methods of sampling, preconcentration and methods, which can determined palladium in environmental samples (spectrophotometric methods, AAS, ICP-AES and ICP-MS).

Determination of the risk elements and other elements concentration in animal feed
Křehlíková, Jana ; Juglová, Zuzana (referee) ; Diviš, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis deals with the determination of selected microelements and macroelements and risk elements in dog and cat food. The theoretical part describes the nutrition of dogs and cats and focuses on the safety of the food in the context of contamination with risk elements. Another topic discussed is the chemical analysis of feeds, specifically the determination of nutritionally important substances, beneficial elements, and contaminants. The experimental part deals with the preparation and digestion of feed samples and the subsequent analysis of these samples using ICP-OES and AAS methods. The detected concentrations of the elements of interest in the feeds were compared with the feed standards issued by the Department of Veterinary Medicine and the decree issued by the Ministry of Agriculture. The analysed feeds were found to be deficient in some elements. The content of the risk elements in the feed met the legal limits and did not pose a health risk to the animal. Elements for which the legislation does not provide a maximum permissible limit were present in the feed-in in high concentrations that could already harm the animal's health.

Communication Interface for Industry 4.0 testbed
Magáth, Marek ; Fiedler, Petr (referee) ; Kaczmarczyk, Václav (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the creation of a general communication interface between the smart product and process cells within test bed Barman. The aim is to create distributed production according to the Industry 4.0 concept, where each product manages it’s production itself. The first part deals with the analysis of test bed, where are discussed requirements and method of production. Then with the selection of a communication protocol that would meet Industry 4.0 and distributed control requirements. The result of the research was OPC UA communication protocol. Using this protocol, the product and the process cell will communicate with each other. I chose the appropriate implementation for the selected protocol to be used for creating communication modules of the product and the process cell. Production data will be stored in an RFID chip located in the product. Part of the work is devoted to creation this data structure, which contains the recipe as well as production state data. Creation of RFID reader is the work of another student, with whom I solved the method of data exchange between application of the reader and the communication module of the product. When creating a communication module of the process cell, I solved the design of an information model that describes the entire process cell, and the dynamic creation of nodes in the address space. I have mentioned a few examples of how I worked with a selected implementation of OPC UA and how I used it in both applications. I implemented decentralized search of another process cells in the local network. This feature was easy to implement with OPC UA, specifically with the LDS-ME service. I solved the control of production for the communication module of the product and method of communication with the process cell. And in the last part I deal with manual, which describes how to compile projects correctly, specifically on the Linux operating system, and I have described a way to test the whole solution together with the results.

Study of surface water quality in the Ivančice area
Jonášová, Simona ; Řezáčová, Veronika (referee) ; Komendová, Renata (advisor)
Selected physical and chemical water quality parameters were measured at four sampling localities on the Jihlava River. Using UV-VIS spectrophotometry, inorganic forms of nitrogen, chlorides, total phosphorus and CODCr were determined. BOD5 was determined by the dilution method. Na+, K+ and Ca2+ ions, whose concentrations ranged from 5,75–108 mgl 1, were measured by flame emission photometry. Selected metals (Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Hg, Cr, Fe, Mn) were determined in water by the ET-AAS method. Decomposed sediments were determined by the FAAS method. Concentrations of Cr, Cu, Pb and Ni in water were in the range of 0,05–2,84 gl1. Metal concentrations in sediments ranged from 0,02–293 mgkg1, where nickel concentrations were above the limit. The occurrence of iron and manganese is due to the geological subsoil. For the other elements, anthropogenic source is assumed. From the measured data, the water quality is slightly variable in this locality and is classified as fourth or fifth class, i.e. as highly polluted water.
