Brick Dust Arising During Grinding of Burnt Brickwork and Possibilities of its Utilization
Kocmánek, Tomáš ; Sokolář, Radomír (referee) ; Nevřivová, Lenka (advisor)
The diploma thesis focuses on the brick dust arising during grinding of burnt brickwork and the possibilities of its utilization. In the theoretical part origin and basic properties of brick dust is described. Some published results of research on the potential utilization of brick dust in various industries are presented here. Also proposal of utilization of brick dust in the ceramic industry is presented. In the practical part two ceramic raw materials and the two brick dust with different granulometry arising during grinding of burnt brickwork (made from these two ceramic raw materials) were selected. The effect of the addition of brick dust to the ceramic raw materials on the physical - mechanical properties of ceramic body after sintering was investigated.

Blended alkali-activated aluminosilicate binders
Mizerová, Cecílie ; Bayer, Patrik (referee) ; Rovnaník, Pavel (advisor)
The first part of the work presents a summary of the current knowledge of two-component blended alkali-activated binders based on blast furnace slag, fly ash, metakaolin and ground brick with emphasis on their workability, microstructure, mechanical properties and durability. In the experimental part the alkali-activated binders with different ratio of fly ash and metakaolin were made to compare their workability and mechanical properties. The binder structure was evaluated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mercury intrusion porosimetry. From the literature review and my own achievements it can be concluded that the combination of single precursors has a positive effect on the majority of the assessed properties of the material.

Development of pelletization conditions for secondary energy products
Burešová, Eliška ; Batelka,, Michal (referee) ; Sokolář, Radomír (advisor)
This thesis deals with the use of secondary energy products. The teorethical part describes methods of separation of fine particles, characteristics and properties of secondary energy products and equipment suitable for pelletizing. On the basis of the theoretical part, the practical part designed and created suitable conditions for pelletizing two types of secondary energy products, namely brick dust and fly ash. These suggestions have been verified and both feedstocks and resulting pellets were tested. In accordance with the results, it is possible to say that the pelletized raw material has better properties than the raw material in its original powder state.

Boards with alkali activated binder filled with wood chips
Gajdušková, Patricie ; Vacula, Miroslav (referee) ; Bydžovský, Jiří (advisor)
For the production of cement chipboards, cement is used as a binder which is an ecological burden for our planet. This diploma thesis deals with research into the possibility of replacing it with other alternative materials, especially those that are created as a by-product of other production. The focus is primarily on slag, heating plant slag or brick dust. The theoretical part deals with the previous studies and theoretical knowledge of alkaline-activated matrices which are supplemented with an organic binder such as wood chips which are used to reinforce the boards. The practical part deals with the above-mentioned alternative materials which are tested for the design of recipes for modified boards made of alkali-activated binder reinforced with chips. These modified recipes are subsequently subjected to physical-mechanical tests such as bending strength, modulus of elasticity and other monitored parameters of the boards. Selected board variants were analysed in terms of mineralogical composition and microstructure.

Binary alkali-activated composite materials with brick powder
Mizerová, Cecílie ; Bayer, Patrik (referee) ; Rovnaník, Pavel (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the application of brick powder in production of binary alkali-activated binders with metakaolin, slag and fly ash. The theoretical part summarizes recent fields of use of the ceramic waste in construction and binder industry and prerequisite properties of the brick powder for alkaline activation. Brick powder based geopolymers made in the experimental work were tested for their mechanical properties, porosity and microstructure, flow properties of the fresh geopolymers were evaluated by rheometric measurements. In accordance with the results it can be concluded that brick powder could be a suitable precursor for blended binders with metakaolin and slag, these samples exhibited good mechanical properties and microstructure characteristics. The combination with fly ash was less applicable due to a rapid setting, hardening retarder used in these binders caused significant deterioration of the mechanical properties of the material.

Development of high-strength concrete defined properties with the use of secondary raw materials
Ondráček, Michal ; Vítek,, Jan (referee) ; Ďurica,, Tibor (referee) ; Vymazal, Tomáš (referee) ; Hela, Rudolf (advisor)
Civil engineering development is connected with the application of new construction methods and the development of new building materials. Concrete, as one of the basic building materials, is part of this development. A major turning point in the development of concrete and its properties occurred with the use of new, more efficient plasticizing additives. This allowed to produce concrete with lower water cement ratio, while increasing the strength of concrete. Gradually, the compressive strength of concrete boundary has moved by several levels, when there are currently commonly used concrete with strength of about 100 N/mm2 and with the special methods of concrete production strength range from 250 to 300 N/mm2. A negative aspect of the development of (ultra) high-strength concrete is their energy and economic demands. A characteristic feature of high-strength concrete is a high content of cement and very fine admixtures, especially silica fume. One way to improve the economics of these types of concrete is the application of cheaper admixture based on industrial waste. The content of this work is the observation and description of the properties of high-strength concrete and reactive powder concrete, in which the admixtures were based on industrial waste were applied. Part of this work is the comparison of economic parameters for individual types of concrete.
