Abstract:A harmful environmental problem such as cement kiln dust (CKD) was considered as a source of CaO and SiO 2 , which are useful oxides for the glass industry. So, Na 2 O, B 2 O 3 , Bi 2 O 3 , PbO and CKD were used to fabricate new borate based glasses. The structure of the prepared glasses was studied by FTIR before and after gamma irradiation at doses up to 120 kGy. Analysis of FTIR before irradiation revealed that CKD split the characteristic broad band of the vibrations of BO 3 structural units into two bands… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
