![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: The encapsulation of Mg(OH)2 sludge in composite cement The encapsulation of Mg(OH)2 sludge in composite cement](/preview/png/1457017.png)
A range of magnesium hydroxide waste sludges arising from the re-processing of nuclear fuel exist in the UK and require safe long-term disposal. Similar wastes undergo a cementation process in order to immobilise radioactive material prior to disposal. Simulant magnesium hydroxide sludges have been prepared and their subsequent interactions with composite cement systems based on the partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement with blastfurnace slag and pulverised fuel ash have been studied. This work has concluded that there was little reaction between the sludge and any of the composite cements during hydration. Apart from a small quantity of a hydrotalcite-type phase containing magnesium from the sludge, the main phases detected were C–S–H and unreacted brucite. This indicates that the magnesium in the sludges is encapsulated by the cement, rather than being immobilised or chemically bound within the hardened matrix.
