Bonding Material Containing Ashes After Domestic Waste Incineration for Cementation of Radioactive Waste

It is known that cement minerals hydration is accompanied with heat emission. Heat of hardening influences formation of a cement compound structure and its properties. It is important to reduce the heat quantity at continuous cementation of waste and filling of compartments of a repository or containers by a cement grout. For reduction of heating, it is necessary to use cement of mineral additives (fuel ashes, slag and hydraulic silica). Properties of ashes after domestic waste incineration can be similar to ones of fly fuel ashes. However, ash after domestic waste incineration is toxic industrial waste as it contains toxic elements (As, Cd, Hg, Pb, Sb, Zn). Utilization of secondary waste (slag and ash) of combustion plants is an important environmental approach to solving cities’ issues. Results of the research have shown that ashes of combustion plants can be used for radioactive waste conditioning. Coprocessing of toxic and radioactive waste is ecologically and economically effective. At SIA “Radon”, experimental batches of cement compositions are used for cementation of oil containing waste.
