Key Points

The research aims to evaluate the mechanical properties and radiation attenuation abilities of calcium carbonate derived from biowaste.
Conducted linear accelerator tests to measure radiation attenuation.
Analyzed mass attenuation coefficients (MAC) and half-value layers (TVL) for different samples.
Considered larger slab surfaces and proposed MRI and XRD analyses for further characterization.
GMSP4 sample exhibited the highest mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) values.
GMSP8 demonstrated the lowest half-value layer (TVL) yield in linear accelerator tests.
Indications for future research include exploring additional characterization methods.

Abstract

for all energies. MAC values peaked at GMSP4, and TVL was lowest at GMSP8. In linear accelerator tests, GMSP4 had the lowest TVL yield. Future studies should explore MRI and XRD analysis for powder characterisation and consider larger slab surfaces.
