Abstract:

This paper aims to analyse the use of lead (Pb) surplus in powder form by automobile battery reprocessing, combining the material and the residue in polymer composites, as regards its attenuation properties when applied at radiological amenities. Where, Attenuation is generally proportional to the square of the frequency of the sound. Fixed attenuation values are often provided by an individual frequency, or an average attenuation value of many frequencies. This technique included polymeric composites made from white silicone and lead residue, in the form of flexible plates and rigid plumes of polyester and lead residues. In the circumstance of metallic materials, plates were obtained by thermal spraying processes by placing the Pb residue in powder form on the carbon steel substratum. Once the samples are formed, It is classified mineralogically, chemically, physically and mechanically. Using the responses obtained in the study of the attenuation properties, the best composites were chosen and tested experimentally for their gamma attenuation and X-rays properties. Following proof of the mechanical properties of composites, they can be used to minimize safety in hospitable, dental and industrial settings in order to prevent ionizing radiation (X-rays and Gamma rays).
