“…Having said all of the above, the existing researches mainly focus on basalt fiber reinforced composites, although there are some research on basalt fiber itself, there are no in-depth studies. Different oxides possess different mass attenuation coefficients [ 21 ]. Studies have shown that the increased content of oxides, such as TiO 2 , Fe 2 O 3, and K 2 O, can greatly strengthen the gamma ray shielding property of the glass or alloy materials [ 22 , 23 , 24 ].…”

In this study, four basalt rocks were selected to produce continuous fibers, the chemical composition of basalt rocks and the corresponding fibers were compared using the XRF, the results reveal that the content of the chemical component present in the basalt fibers is consistent with basalt rocks. The mass attenuation coefficient of different fibers was analyzed using the XCOM program, the results indicate that when the incident electron energy is 0.01~0.1 MeV, fiber mass attenuation coefficient is found to be positively correlated with the content of Wt (Fe2O3 + MnO + TiO2 + CaO + K2O). The structure and properties of the fibers irradiated by different absorption doses of gamma rays were studied using the SEM, EDX and FTIR, the results indicate that irradiation produces no effect on the basalt fiber structure, surface morphology, and contents of the surface elements, the mass loss rate of the fiber was much less than 1%, fiber tensile strength and elastic modulus increased 4.7–7.5% and 3.9–9.1%, respectively, but the elongation at break of fiber decreased 4.18–10.97%. Two selected basalt fiber cloths of thickness 0.12 and 0.28 mm were irradiated with gamma rays of energies of 100 and 120 keV to examine the shielding property of basalt fibers against the gamma rays, when the energy was 100 keV, the shielding ratios of the fiber cloths were 18.9% and 22.5%, respectively, but when the energy was 120 keV, the shielding ratios of the fiber cloths decreased significantly and were at 8.7% and 10.4%, respectively. When the irradiated electron energy is 100 keV, the shielding ratio for basalt fiber cloths measuring 0.12 and 0.28 mm can reach up to 38.9% and 46.3% of that of the 0.5-mm lead plate, respectively.
