The study aims to perform the immobilization/stabilization process quality of ions exchange resins by cementation. For this purpose, three natural and local materials were tested as additions: (1) limestone, (2) marly clay and (3) marly limestone. After characterization of these additions, mainly by X-ray diffraction, the experimental study was initiated by the preparation of cemented packages according to two formulations. The first was carried out without addition and the second with addition. The second stage of the work was focused on studying the additions effects on the physicochemical properties and the mechanical behavior of the cemented resins packages. The obtained results showed that additions improve significantly the mechanical strength and the physicochemical properties of the studied packages. Local marly clay, rich in kaolinite and free silica, has made it possible, as a natural addition, to prepare the most efficient cemented resins packages.
Organic radioactive waste can occur in solid, liquid or rarely gaseous form. In general, organic components of radioactive waste Generally, the organic components of the radioactive waste have a contaminant effect stronger than most of the inorganic components, because of their low melting point, of their answer to the radiolyse or of their volatilitydu to their low melting point, to their answer to the radiolyse or to their volatility. This property can significantly affect the strategy adopted for their management. Organic radioactive waste results from the use of radioisotopes in the National Center for Energy, Nuclear Science and Technology (CNESTEN) and from medical applications. Organic radioactive waste requires management steps that take into account not only their radioactivity but also their chemical content. The aim of this study is the optimization of the stabilization of radioactive organic effluents in cementitious matrices. Thus, we study the effects of the addition of the alumina powder on the physicochemical and mechanical properties of the cement paste. The mortar was made by mixing Portland cement, sand, water and alumina powder (88 μm). The study showed that the addition of 12% alumina powder improves the compressive strength.
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.
