The disposal of radiological wastes in the deep geological repositories has become an important issue for the reduction of hazardous risks on the human and biological environments. In this study, blended cement-stabilized barite fillers against gamma rays and neutrons have been developed with the use of the maximum density method by considering various amounts of water (100–300 kg/m3), binder (4–10%), and compaction energy (500–2000 kJ/m3). According to the experimental series of these filler materials, satisfactory response surface results have been achieved in the study. The experimental results revealed that compacted filling material can ensure an efficient shielding capability for gamma rays and neutrons when designed with a density of 3.064 g/cm3. An increase in binder content, water content, and compaction energy has improved the compressive strength of these materials up to 37 times according to that of the poorest series. Neutron and gamma-ray shielding capabilities were found to be 119 and 14% higher than those of the poorest filler material, respectively when theoretical and experimental results are considered in the study.

Serpentine and boric acid are effective materials to produce the radiation-shielding concrete (RSC) for attenuating the fast and thermal neutrons, respectively. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of boric acid (0, 1, and 3% by cement weight) on the physical, mechanical, microstructural, and radiation shielding properties of serpentine concrete. The results showed that the addition of boric acid hindered the hydration of cement through the generation of amorphous borate material, which encapsulates the cement phases and retards their transformation into hydration products. Such a retardation process negatively influenced the mechanical properties of boric acid-bearing concrete and contributed to the thicker and less condensed interfacial transition zone. Furthermore, unlike total γ-rays, boric acid enhanced the attenuation properties of serpentine concrete against thermal and fast neutrons favoring the former. There was a satisfying agreement between the theoretical and measured values of fast neutron attenuation parameters. However, negligible variations in the theoretical values of photon interaction parameters showed that porosity was the principal reason for the reduction in gamma-ray attenuation as a result of boric acid addition.

Baran, Y.; Gökçe, H. S.; Durmaz, M.
Turkey is ranked in the first place with two-thirds of the world hazelnut production. As the amount of shell obtained from shelled-hazelnut is almost equal to that of hazelnut by weight, the shell is a regionally important waste. The biomass is consumed as a fuel in some homes, workplaces, and public buildings with the help of specific caldrons. In the study, the use of ash was researched in the production of blended cement. For this purpose, blended cement mixtures containing hazelnut shell ash at the ratios of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30% by weight of CEM I 42.5R ordinary Portland cement were prepared. The binary cementitious systems were assessed in terms of chemical, physical and mechanical properties. Hazelnut shell ash introduction increased the water demand up to 59% for standard consistency and reduced setting time up to 96% according to the ordinary Portland cement. Compressive strength results were remarkably reduced by an increase in the amount of ash. With over 5% of hazelnut shell ash introduction, the 28-d compressive strength value was found unsatisfactory (<42.5 MPa). The insufficient total amount of SiO2+Fe2O3+Al2O3 reduced the usage amount of the biomass ash in cementitious products due to having no pozzolanic characteristic. Hazelnut shell ash can be used as an alkaline set accelerator in concrete products as it is not steel-reinforced due to its high chlorine ion content. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
