Process for making Red Mud based Synthetic Aggregates Radiation Shielding Concrete

Implementing Organization

Advanced Materials and Processes Research Institute (AMPRI)

About

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

Outcome / Output

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
