Asphaltene or Polyvinylchloride Waste Blended with Cement to Produce a Sustainable Material Used in Nuclear Safety

The current research uses sustainable methods to preserve the environment, such as exploiting municipal or industrial waste that may harm environment. wreckage of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes and asphaltene are used additives cement improve its mechanical properties, while stabilizing radioactive resulting from peaceful nuclear materials, enhancing radiation shielding efficiency. New composites Portland with ground PVC up 50% investigated. Fast neutron removal cross-section (?R) gamma parameters, mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), half-value layer (HVL), effective atomic number (Zeff), exposure build-up factor (EBF) at wide energy range thickness, determined. compressive strength apparent porosity examined test durability prepared stabilizers for waste. obtained results show bulk density hardened cementitious was slightly increased by increasing additive amount asphaltene. reached more than 4.5 MP 50 wt.% 8.8 MPa These values significantly higher those recommended US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (3.4 MPa). Additionally, demonstrate although MAC is decreased adding PVC, highly increased, reaching 171% in case 304% PVC. We can conclude have optimized properties stabilize
