Influence of SeO2-Bi2O3 on structure and radiation shielding of waste cathode ray tubes (CRT) glasses

Key Points

• Improved radiation shielding was noted, with a specific increase in protective capabilities due to the addition of selenium oxide and bismuth oxide.
• The study used structure analysis techniques to evaluate the effects of SeO2 and Bi2O3 on the composition of waste CRT glasses.
• Findings indicate that enhanced radiation shielding properties make recycled CRT glass more effective for waste management applications.
• Further validation is warranted to explore practical applications and scalability for industry use.
