Pre-impregnation approach to encapsulate radioactive liquid organic waste in geopolymer

Valorisation of baryte tailings for radiation shielding in plastics and nuclear waste disposal

“…Other aspects for using the generated composites as binder material for radioactive ash were also promising. Typical waste acceptance criteria are mechanical strength and low leachability as well as the resistance against thermal impacts [ 27 , 28 ]. The above noted chemical inertness and high-level mechanical strength encourage further testing of the generated waste products.…”
