Cement-free Binders for Radioactive Waste Produced from Blast-furnace Slag using Vortex Layer Activation Technology

Abstract

The paper addresses the issue of recycling granulated blast-furnace slag (gBFS) as a source for production of cement-free binder materials for further usage in rare-earth metals production for radioactive waste disposal. The use of the vortex layer activator was provided as main technique allowing to produce high-dispersed chemically activated binders. The paper examines the effect of processing conditions on the physical-chemical and mechanical properties of the resulting BFS-based cement-free materials and gBFSbased concretes.

A comparative analysis of the quality of concrete blocks produced from coconut fibre, oil palm empty fruit bunch, and rice husk as filler material

“…The research related to the durability of concrete has been conducted by many researchers to minimize the negative ecological impact [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. This research proposes to utilize OPEFB, RH, and CF without combustion process to reduce air pollution which is the trigger of global warming [19].…”
