Glass fabrication using ceramic and porcelain recycled waste and lithium niobate: physical, structural, optical and nuclear radiation attenuation properties

The ceramic and porcelain industry in the Arab Republic of Egypt annually produces a huge amount by-product waste. Public health is threatened by accumulated dust crumbs. In this study, five different waste samples were recycled glass form xLiNbO3-(40-x)Waste investigated with LiNbO3 contents x = 8, 16, 20, 24, 32 wt.% for useful nuclear radiation shielding applications. amorphous structure prepared assured XRD analyses. protection features experimentally compared theoretical calculations photon energies range 81–2614 KeV. Moreover, optical parameters glasses such as absorption coefficient, skin depth, extinction coefficient have been calculated. factors showed that Waste32 sample best shield out fabricated Waste-x samples. insertion wastes system reached wt.%.
