The object of the thesis is to design a grate boiler for bagasse and brown coal combustion with a heat output of 160 MW. Calculations of a flue gas stoichiometry are based on known element analyses of each fuel. The crucial part of the thesis includes designs of heat-exchanging surfaces, where the bagasse is considered as the main fuel while the brown coal is the spare one. Overall thermal balance and an actual boiler efficiencies are provided in last chapters. The boiler-outlet flue gas temperature is compared with the dew point temperature at the very end of the thesis. As a part of the thesis there is a design of the boiler attached.

This thesis deals with optimalization processes of adsorption of ferulic acid on different types of sorbents. Specifically, was used the activated carbon as a sorbent of heterogeneous character and Amberlyst A-21 and Amberlit XAD-16 as macroporous polymer sorbents. The ferulic acid is fully characterized in the theoretical part and are discussed the problems of adsorption processes. To determination of the phenolic acid were used UV-VIS and HPLC instrumental methods. The main aim of the experimental part is to optimize various parameters of adsorption, including the construction of adsorption isotherms, determination of maximum adsorption capacity of individual sorbents, study of kinetics and mechanisms of adsorption. Determination of the influence of salt was studied to assess the impact of the inorganic salts on the ferulic acid adsorption capacity. Based on these parameters, was carried out determination of an optimal pH value on 3, with an optimal adsorbent load (m/V ratio = 0,009 gml-1) and a contact time of 50 min for all three adsorbents. Equilibrium studies described by adsorption isotherms and the Langmiur model fitted the best, and the maximum adsorption capacities were determined for all three sorbents with 150,4 mgg-1 for activated carbon, 209,1 mgg-1 for Amberlyst A-21 and 82 mgg-1 for Amberlyte XAD-16. In the study of kinetic models was selected pseudo-second model for all three adsorbents, which correlated with the results obtained by the Langmuir isotherm. The decrease in adsorption capacity in the determination of NaCl influence was 4 % for activated carbon, for macroporous polymer sorbents was decreased by 52 % and 55 % for Amberlyst A-21 and Amberlyt XAD-16 respectively. In a selectivity test under optimized conditions, adsorption strength increased in the order of sinapic acid ferulic acid p-coumaric acid for polymeric sorbent XAD-16 and activated carbon. For the A-21 sorbent the adsorption strength increased in the order of p-coumaric acid ferulic acid sinapic acid. The results of the work indicate the suitability of all three sorbents for the phenolic acid adsorption.

In the first part of this thesis the methodic of lab trial was studied, which will be useful for studying adsorption of natural organic matter by activated carbon. As an optimal method of testing adsorption characters jar testing was chosen. Again as an indicator of organic contamination, it was decided to use permanganate chemical oxygen demand (in Czech CHSKMn) will be used. In the second part of this thesis the adsorption characters of eight types of granular activated carbon were studied. Those granular activated carbon came from two world produces, from company NORIT five type of granular activated carbon were tested: NORIT GAC 1020, NORIT PK 1-3, NORIT GAC 1240, NORIT ROW 0.8 SUPRA a TOD NORIT ROX 0.8 and from company Chemviron Carbon three types of granular activated carbon were tested: F100 FE11120A, F400 FE11210A a TL830 FE2028B. Batch kinetic tests of natural organic matter adsorption were conducted with all types of granular activated carbon at first. For description of sorption not only the batch kinetic tests and duration needed for setting equilibrium were observed, but also the process decreasing of concentration of natural organic matters to the value of equilibrium concentration known as adsorption equilibrium was followed.

"Black Kladno" - a name inextricably linked with the largest city of the Central Bohemian clearly reflects the former industrial face of Kladno. In addition to the steel industry here had long tradition just coal mining and its phasing, which culminated early in 2002 close of the last Kladno Mine Schoeller / Nejedly / Kladno, had an impact on a large number of people who have worked in this field. In addition, mine closure linked solely with the decline of mining activities after 1991, but also with a methane explosion, which occurred at the mine in late 2001, and died with him four people. This thesis using qualitative research methods in the form of oral history interviews devoted to the completion of mining the bottom Schoeller / Nejedly / Kladno, as it was perceived by miners and other employees of the mine, compensate the loss of jobs often lasting many years, and their search for new employment. As the main source of information for the actual parts are used extensive publication Josefa Suldovského Chronicle mining Czech lands and collective work Coal mining in the Kladno: History Kladno- Slaný-Rakovník basin. For more information regarding mining directly Kladensko then a series of regional publications and printing. The work is divided into five parts. The introduction briefly summarizes...

This Diploma thesis is telling the story of the village Kralupy u Chomutova that had to be demolished because of coal mining. It is following the life of people of the village from the time before World War I untill the 70's. It is the time when the village was demolished. Kralupy u Chomutova were located in so called Sudetenland. Therefore its rezidents where changing during 20th century. In the end It was them who were witnesses of the demolition and their stories are part of this thesis.

Succession is often studied by using a chronosequence. When using a chronosequence we study a set of sites with different ages at the same time and by comparing them we conclude what kind of changes occurred during time (space for time substitution). Only a few studies however compare how results obtained by using a chronosequence differ from those obtained by long-term studies. In my theses I repeated a study that investigated succession of ant communities on brown coal mining spoil dumps in Sokolov district after 19 years. There are chronosequences of two types of sites (spontaneous succession and recultivation) in Sokolov coal mining district. By repeating the original study I could compare changes that occurred du- ring time with changes along a chronosequnce. Relationship between occurrence of ant groups with different ecological requirements and age of site was also investigated. RDA model and variation partitioning were used to find out statistical significance between sites and their age. An increase in number of species was recorded on the spoil dumps. 22 ant species were found in the year 2020, from which 5 species were new on the dumps. All the new species are specialists, two of them are dendrophilous. A statistically significant increase in abundance of forest species with site age was...

This diploma thesis deals with the study of adsorption of low-molecular components of organic substances produced by phytoplankton - AOM (Algal Organic Matter) on AC (Activated Carbon) during drinking water treatment. For the experimental purpose in this thesis, there were used selected amino acids as low molecular substances of AOM that are difficult to remove by conventional water treatment process by coagulation. As adsorbent, there was used a detailed characterized of granulated activated carbon (GAC) - Filtrasorb TL 830 (FTL830) which is intended directly for the purpose of water treatment. There were realizing the equilibrium batch adsorption experiments with three different model amino acids - arginine (Arg), phenylalanine (Phe) and aspartic acid (Asp). There was investigated the efficiency of removing amino acid depending on the solution temperature and pH. Results of the adsorption experiments have shown that the temperature affects the adsorption efficiency. Adsorption is essentially described as an exothermic process but the adsorption of Arg and Phe from an aqueous solution to GAC occurs more efficiently at higher temperatures. It means that the adsorption is the endothermic process. In the case of Arg adsorption, the temperature was found to influence adsorption efficiency less than...
