This invention discloses a
radiation-shielding aggregate, its preparation method, and a high-strength, crack-resistant,
radiation-shielding concrete, belonging to the field of concrete technology. The process includes the following steps: S1. Mixing lead
powder,
iron ore powder, and
barium cement evenly, adding
hydrogen peroxide and water, granulating, and curing and heating at high temperature to obtain the aggregate core; S2. Immersing the aggregate core in a
mixed solution of
sodium alginate and
boron fiber, then spraying it with a
calcium chloride aqueous solution to obtain aggregate particles; S3. Mixing
red mud and
graphite powder evenly, calcining at 800-900℃,
grinding and sieving, mixing evenly with an alkaline activator, adding water to obtain a
slurry, then mixing the
slurry with the aggregate particles, and molding to obtain the final product. The
radiation-shielding aggregate of this invention can attenuate the radiation
energy gradient, exhibiting excellent deceleration, weakening, and absorption effects on
radiation rays. Simultaneously, the radiation-shielding aggregate of this invention has relatively low
apparent density and high strength, which can prevent concrete segregation and improve the workability and mechanical
properties of concrete.
