Mutual visits: 

Lucie Obalová, Kamila Kočí: 8. – 10. 4. 2008 visit in Vienna 

Šárka Michaláková: 14.9. - 10. 10. 2008 visit in Vienna 

Benedikt Nowak: 17.11. - 16.12. 2008 visit in Ostrava 

 

The project was realized according to the original plan, accepted by AKTION 
foundation. The aim of measurements and catalysts for diploma and Ph.D. thesis was 
specified at the first visit of Czech partners (L. Obalová, K. Kočí) from 8th April till 10th April 
2008 at TU Vienna. The exact date of exchange stays (Š. Michaláková, B. Nowak) was 
arranged, too. Due to great busyness of Prof. Winter, his visit at TU Ostrava was not possible 
to realize. Unutilized financial money (4 340 Kč) was used for purchase of temperature 
regulator for experimental apparatus for N2O decomposition. This experimental apparatus is 
used for project solution. 

Šárka Michaláková provided experimental work in TU Vienna from 14th September 
till 10th October 2008 and dealt with catalytic decomposition of N2O in fluidized-bed reactor. 

 Benedikt Nowak provided experimental work in TU Ostrava from 17th November till 
16th December 2008 and dealt with catalytic decomposition of N2O in fixed-bed reactor. 
Calcined Co-Mn-Al hydrotalcite was used as catalyst in both experiments. 


These results will be presented as a poster “Is it possible to use calcined hydrotalcite 
as catalyst in fluidized bed reactor?” at the 36th International Conference of Slovak Society of 
Chemical Engineering in Tatranské Matliare, Slovakia (May 25 - 29 2009). 

The effects of this project will have significant influence on the quality of research at 
the Technical University in Ostrava and Technical University in Vienna and are considered by 
both sides to be just a beginning of long-term cooperation. For future research is planned to 
repeat this project. 

On behalf of all collaborators, I would like to thank AKTION for the financial support 
of our collaborative project.
