| Popis: | Cement based materials may contain varying levels of radionuclides, mainly 226Ra (from the 238U series), 232Th and 40K, which are used to determine the Activity Concentration Index ("ACI"). According to the European directive Euratom 2013/59 in these materials, the “ACI” must be < 1 to be suitable for their use in construction. In this paper, data on the activity concentration of natural radionuclides in cementbased materials (i.e. cements, additions, pigments and aggregates) as well as their chemical composition are presented. Radioactivity measurements have been determined by using gamma spectroscopy the chemical compositions have been determined by X-Ray Fluorescence. Data for cements measured shown that white cements present a lower concentration of activity than conventional CEM I. In addition, the CAC (Calcium aluminate cements) present high activity concentration in the 232Th series. Regarding additions, FA (Fly Ash) are those that present the highest concentration of activity in the 238U and 232Th series, while olive biomass ashes are those supplementary cementitious materials that show the highest concentration of activity for 40K. Some pigments used in mortar and concrete technology were also characterized. This study was funded by the Spanish Ministry of the Economy, Industry and Competitiveness under project BIA2016-77252-P. Dr. M.M. Alonso also wishes to thank CSIC for funding the project PIE 2018 60I 054 (Proyecto Intramural de Incorporación). |
