Radiation protection cement

Researchers including Do Quang Minh, Tran Thi Thu Thuy, Department of Silicat Materials, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology have studied the effect of barite on the working ability of anti-radiation cement.

Grout containing barite effects prevent radiation during use of nuclear energy. Cement mortar with different barite content has been fabricated and tested for properties such as standard viscosity, setting time, volume stability. The results of the study have determined the rate of cement barite to ensure the ability and ability to prevent radiation.

Barite cement barite works to prevent the ray
Radiation in the process of using nuclear energy.

Radiation protection is a material used to prevent the propagation of radiation in the course of exploiting nuclear fission energy applications as well as in the event of a nuclear crisis. Barium (Ba) is a heavy enough element, capable of limiting the radiation.

Barite is a relatively common material that can be applied flexibly, cheaply, and can be exploited in large quantities. The results showed that barite content did not significantly affect the standard water content and volume stability in the cement mix, but significantly affected the setting time and greatly affected the compressive strength of the samples. Especially with samples higher than 40%.

The radioactivity of the cement sample was recorded. The results show that, at 40% content, the X-ray compartment is the best and still guarantees compressive strength.
