In the current study, BaO was doped in Bi2O3-ZnO-B2O3-SLS glass to develop lead-free radiation shielding glasses and to solve the dark brown of bismuth glass. The melt-quenching method was utilized to fabricate (x) BaO (1 − x)[0.3 ZnO 0.2 Bi2O3 0.2 B2O3 0.3 SLS] (where x are 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, and 0.05 mol) at 1200 °C. Soda lime silica glass waste (SLS), which is mostly composed of 74.1% SiO2, was used to obtain SiO2. The mass attenuation coefficient (μm) was investigated utilizing X-ray fluorescence (XRF) at 16.61, 17.74, 21.17, and 25.27 keV and narrow beam geometry at 59.54, 662, and 1333 keV. Moreover, the other parameters related to gamma ray shielding properties such as half-value layer (HVL), mean free path (MFP), and effective atomic number (Zeff) were computed depending on μm values. The results indicated that HVL and MFP decreased, whereas μm increased with an increase in BaO concentration. According to these results, it can be concluded that BaO doped in Bi2O3-ZnO-B2O3-SLS glass is a nontoxic, transparent to visible light, and a good shielding material against radiation.

The investigation of borate glasses and the dosimetric features of lithium glass system began as an experiment in science as well as an attempt to describe it composition of amorphous materials in general. This research improved our knowledge of the structure and behaviour of borate glasses. There are a few exceptions to the fact that silicate and borosilicate glasses meet most scientific and industrial needs. However, there are some benefits to borate glasses above silicate glasses which are not widely understood or explored. However, certain features of transition metal (Dysprosium) doped borate glasses, like their propensity for water, require that they would be carefully chosen, constructed, or manufactured to fulfil the demands of a certain application. The goal of this study is to investigate and report on some of important characteristics of binary borate glasses. It also includes specific instructions designed for several purposes in which the published studies are examined in relation to technical knowledge or needed skills.
