Abstract

See full text

Conventional shielding materials are based on single material either toxic lead or barium based compounds and any matrix made therefrom contains only single phased barium based compounds, thereby posing limited radiation shielding capacity. Since brine sludge, an industrial toxic waste product, generated in chloralkali industry contains multiple compounds; there is a need to provide a process which enables the preparation of multi-phase based radiation shielding materials. In view of the above, the present invention provides advanced non-toxic radiation shielding materials utilizing tailored brine sludge and a process that enables conversion of toxic elements like chromium, zinc, copper and vanadium present in brine sludge into non-toxic shielding phases, thereby enabling to convert a toxic waste material into highly value added advanced radiation shielding materials possessing homogeneous radiation shielding matrix.
