DIPLOMA THESIS IS DEVOTED TO THE STUDY OF PREPARATION OF PURE BELITE CLINKER FOR THE POTENTIAL INCREASE OF KINETICS OF THE HYDRATION PROCESS BY CHEMICAL ACTIVATION. THE THESIS OF THIS WORK IS BASED ON RESEARCH FINDINGS CONCERNING BELITE CLINKER AND RESEARCH AT THE INSTITUTE OF THD. THE THESIS AIMS TO DESIGN COMPOSITION OF THE RAW MEAL BURNING BELITE, FOLLOWING MODIFICATION BY SULPHATE AND POTASSIUM CARBONATE IN ORDER TO POTENTIALLY INCREASE THE REACTIVITY OF THE BURNT BELITE CLINKER AND THE LABORATORY FIRING OF PREPARED SAMPLES. THE LAST STEP WAS TO ASSESS THE MINERALOGICAL COMPOSITION OF BURNED SAMPLES XRD ANALYSIS AND FOLLOWING COMPARISON CELL PARAMETER OF BELITE WITH AND WITHOUT ADDED MODIFYING ADDITIVES.

Specification of the phase composition of Portland clinker
Vávrová, Alžběta ; Dlabajová, Lucie (referee) ; Másilko, Jiří (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the determination of the phase composition of portland clinker and its optimization. The X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and optical microscopy were used to solve this task. In the experimental section, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry results were used to calculate the potential phase composition of the clinker using the Bogue method. Then the X-ray diffraction analysis followed, it was used not only to determine the phase composition but also to determine amorphous content in the clinker. The microscope integration method was used to study the samples using optical microscopy. The obtained results were compared with each other and the main deficiencies of the individual methods were identified.

Structural and electrical properties of PVDF-CNT composite
Misiurev, Denis ; Dallaev, Rashid (referee) ; Sobola, Dinara (advisor)
Electrospininig se osvědčil jako jeden z nejpopulárnějších a nejrozšířenějších způsobů výroby vysoce kvalitních vláken s požadovanými parametry. Kvalita a morfologie vyráběných vláken závisí na mnoha parametrů, jako je vlhkost, dávka materiálu, aplikované napětí atd. Omezení keramických piezomateriálů (křehkost, toxicita vzorků obsahujících olovo, obtížnost přípravy složitých tvarů atd.) vynutila výzkum v oblasti piezoelektrických polymerů. Jedním z nich je polyvinylidenfluorid (PVDF). polyvinylidenfluorid může by být připraven v různých formách: tenké filmy, objemové vzorky, vlákna. PVDF vlákna přitahují největší pozornost díky vysoké flexibilitě, nízké hmotnosti, mechanické stabilitě a chemické inertnosti. Vlastnosti PVDF vláken lze zlepšit pomocí doplňujících materiálů: keramické částice, kovové nanočástice, Graphicitové materiály jako jsou oxid Graphicenu nebo uhlíkové nanotrubičky (CNT).

Relation between Preparation Parameters of Belite Cement and its Hydraulic Properties
Staněk, Theodor ; Palou, Martin (referee) ; Škvára, František (referee) ; Havlica, Jaromír (advisor)
The dissertation thesis is devoted to the study of belite clinkers and to the possibilities of the increase in their hydraulic activity. The mechanism and the kinetics of belite clinker formation were studied together with the relation of the velocity of these processes and the hydraulic activity of clinker. The influence of various parameters (degree of lime saturation, duration and temperature of burning) of the belite clinker preparation on the belite clinker development in time, on belite polymorphism, on the chemical composition of belite crystals and on the belite cement hydraulic activity was studied, too. The research methods used for the investigation involved electron microscopy, optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, high-temperature microphotometry and calorimetry. The resulting clinkers were hydraulically activated by addition of calcium sulfate. The experiments have proven that the higher rate of belite formation does not lead to the increase of its hydraulic activity, as opposed to that of alite. On the other hand, the chemical activation by sulfate anions enables to prepare clinker with relatively higher degree of lime saturation with minor admixture of alite and anhydrite, which is hydraulically activated. The work was concluded by experimental burning of belite clinker doped with sulfate anions in a model rotary kiln and by the preparation of cements blended with common industrial alite clinker. The results indicate the possibility of separate industrial production of special belite clinker alongside with common alite clinker and the production of economically and environmentally beneficial blended Portland cements with suitable technological parameters, or targeted production of special cements with properties corresponding to their required utilization.

Thermal analysis methods application for characterisation of sol-gel binding system for ceramic materials
Cesnek, Ľuboš ; Másilko, Jiří (referee) ; Švec, Jiří (advisor)
The master thesis deals with the study of the binder system of silica sol and its characterization mainly by methods of thermal analysis. The master thesis also uses method of rheology to determine the gelatinization time, method of TG/DTA do analyse the exo and endothermic effects during heating, the method of FT-IR to quickly determine the composition of samples, method of XRD to analyze phase composition of the samples and the method of SEM to observe the topography of the samples. MgO is used as a gelling agent, reactive alimina is used as a filler.

Preparation and Properties of Belite Clinker
Havlík, Leoš ; Kalivoda,, Karel (referee) ; Gazdič, Dominik (advisor)
DIPLOMA THESIS IS FOCUSED ON THE PREPARATION AND PROPERTIE OF BELITE CLINKER. IT IS BASED ON THE STUDY OF SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES DEALING WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED TOPIC AS WELL AS THE ANALYSIS OF THE BRNO THD INSTITUTE´S RESEARCH RESULTS. AS PART OF MY EXPERIMENTAL WORK, A PROPOSAL OF THE COMPOSITION OF RAW MEAL TO EXTRACT BELITE CLINKER IN THE PRESENCE OF POTASSIUMS CARBONATE AND SULPHATE WAS MADE TO MODIFY RAW MEAL. THE PURPOSE OF MODIFYING RAW MEAL IS A POTENTIAL INCREASE IN BELITE CLINKER REACTIVITY. FURTHER THE EXTRACTION OF BYPASS DUST FROM A LOCAL CEMENT PLANT WAS CONDUCTED. THE EVALUATION OF THIS RESEARCH WAS MADE BY THE X-RAY DIFFRACTION (XRD) ANALYSIS METHOD.

Study of Phase Changes During Portland Clinker Firing
Pertlová, Alena ; Fridrichová, Marcela (referee) ; Gazdič, Dominik (advisor)
The presented bachelor thesis deals with monitoring of transformations during the burning of cement clinker. The theoretical part is devoted to the theories regarding the burning of Portland clinker and to the description of clinkers properties in general. The focus is put on the modern low-energy clinkers as well. Moreover, the thesis deals with several methods for determining the phase composition of cement clinker including HT-XRD analysis, which allows to monitor the behaviour of individual phases at high temperatures besides the determination of the phase composition. In the experimental part, there is introduced the project proposal of the model raw mixture used to produce ordinary Portland clinker and raw mixture of low-energy ternesite clinker. Furthermore, the thesis shows HT-XRD analysis done in the high temperature chamber, followed by the evaluation of results and their comparison with the theoretical background.

Analysis of Strain - induced Variations of Phase Composition of the TRIP Steel using EBSD Method
Pešina, Zbyněk ; Pantělejev, Libor (referee) ; Man, Ondřej (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with phase composition measurement of the TRIP steel, using EBSD method. The steel was delivered as thermo-mechanically treated via two different routes. The phase composition of the steel was examined during gradual plastic deformation in the range 0 to10.99%. One route of thermo-mechanical treatment exhibited good agreement with the literature in terms of measured fraction of the retained austenite (15.6%) as well as its decrease during the deformation (to 8.9% at the maximum imposed strain). The samples of the second route did not show any agreement in either of the parameters spoken.

Application of Electron Backscatter Diffraction in Materials Engineering
Man, Ondřej ; Vodárek, Vlastimil (referee) ; Svoboda, Milan (referee) ; Švejcar, Jiří (advisor)
The thesis deals with principles and common applications of the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) method. Some practical experience in application of the method to a study of highly deformed structure of copper and its thermal stability is described on one hand, and, on the other hand, to a study of phase composition of TRIP steel on various levels of imposed strain. The limitations of EBSD method are discussed along with its resolution in comparison with other complimentary techniques.
