Process for making Red Mud based Synthetic Aggregates Radiation Shielding Concrete

Project Overview

Developed Advanced Radiation Shielding concrete having Gamma ray shielding properties have application for: Nuclear Power Plants , Bunkers for Strategic Sector , Medical diagnostic installations

Benefits

Developed Radiation Shielding Concrete is Non-toxic lead free Hematite ore free
, Bulk utilization of Aluminium Industrial waste namely Red Mud
, The use of waste will save the Non replenishable resources such as Hematite Ore aggregates and thus a waste will be converted in to a highly value added shielding materials, The developed Synthetic Aggregate based concrete achieved around 11% better attenuation factor as compared to conventional hematite ore based concrete for high energy Gamma radiation source i.e.137
