Application of portable XRF spectrometer for evaluation of the quality of limestone ore and estimation of reserves at the Mořina - východ (Velká Amerika) deposit
Pechar, Tomáš ; Zachariáš, Jiří (advisor) ; Knesl, Ilja (referee)
The present thesis provides assessment potential of the Mořina - Východ deposit (Velká Amerika) as a raw material reserves for the Kozolupy - Čeřinka deposit. The reason for this work is limited lifetime of the Kozolupy - Čeřinka deposit (approx. 11-14 years) that does not allow fulfilling the requirement to ensure the production of limestone for flue gas desulphurization for ČEZ until 2035. Objective of this work is to summarize all the existing knowledge of the deposit and define the expected technological parameters of raw materials and consider the possibility of its use as a raw material for flue gas desulphurization. Special attention was paid to dolomitization of the limestone, namely to its extent and nature, because elevated Mg content lowers the quality of the limestone ore. Finally, ore reserve calculations and mining intentions are presented. On the basis of microscopic research two types of dolomite were distinguish: diagenetic and epigenetic. Diagenetic dolomite originated at shallow burial together with recrystallization of limestone slurry at temperatures up to 50 řC. Homogenization temperatures of primary fluid inclusions in epigenetic dolomite lay in the range 76-92 řC (sample A9) and 63-88 řC (sample A25).The trapping temperature of these inclusions was probably only slightly...

Conditions of dolomitization at selected localities of the Barrandian
Novotný, Petr ; Zachariáš, Jiří (advisor) ; Suchý, Václav (referee)
Research on dolomitic limestones and dolomites from selected localities of the Barrandian, stratigraphically related to the Scyphocrinites Horizon near the Silurian-Devonian boundary, showed the occurrence of two distinct types of dolomite - diagenetic and epigenetic - differing in petrography and genesis. The diagenetic dolomite is quantitatively predominant. It is finely to moderately coarsely grained with crystal size from 20 μm to 450 μm. Crystals of this dolomite form mostly xenotopic and hypidiotopic textures (occasionally even idiotopic). This type of dolomite formed at low temperature and depth by recrystallization of a carbonate mud during early diagenesis, or during subsequent deeper burial. It is also possible that it originated from recrystallization of previously formed syngenetic dolomite. Fine texture of the diagenetic dolomite is a proof of fast dolomitization and of formation of numerous crystallization centers. Very fine-grained variant of dolomite was also detected (forming aphanotopic texture, size of crystals below 0,002 mm). The epigenetic dolomite, also known as baroque or saddle dolomite, is less common than the former one. It forms white, milky-turbid or clear crystals of large dimensions (0.8 - 3.1 mm). The shapes of these crystals are conspicuous, variously twisted,...
