The present study explored the gamma-rays shielding characteristics of waste soda-lime glass (SLG) containing lanthanum oxide (La₂O₃) and gadolinium oxide (Gd₂O₃) by utilizing theoretical and experimental determinations. For this purpose, both La₂O₃, and Gd₂O₃ were separately added as 0.005, 0.05, and 0.5 wt% in place of waste SLG. The glass series of SLGL and SLGG were successfully fabricated via conventional melting techniques. Some physical analyses were done while radiation shielding parameters were figured out by using gamma-rays spectroscopy and XCOM computations to the produced glass specimens. One can easily state that the synthesized glasses showed a transparent appearance without any glass defects. Further, the glass density revealed an increasing trend with the insertion of both substances, but the SLGG series enhanced more. According to the experimental measurements, it was figured out that both oxide additions had the ability to increase the linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) values. The LAC was improved from 0.151 to 0.242 cm^-1 for Gd₂O₃ insertion ration whereas 0.148 to 0.202 cm-1 for La₂O₃ series. Moreover, a good agreement between the experimental measurements and theoretical calculations was fulfilled. Based on the measured LAC values, other important parameters including mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), half-value layer (HVL), and mean free path (MFP) were evaluated for the investigated glass series. All in all, the authors concluded that SLGG3 glass can compete with commercial radiation shielding glasses.

本研究利用理论和实验方法，探索了含有氧化镧（La ₂ O ₃）和氧化ado（Gd ₂ O ₃）的废钠钙玻璃（SLG）的γ射线屏蔽特性。为此，La ₂ O ₃和Gd ₂ O ₃分别添加0.005、0.05和0.5 wt％的废SLG。SLGL和SLGG玻璃系列是通过常规熔化技术成功制造的。进行了一些物理分析，同时通过使用伽马射线光谱法和XCOM计算得出了制作的玻璃样品，从而确定了辐射屏蔽参数。可以容易地指出，合成玻璃显示出透明的外观而没有任何玻璃缺陷。此外，随着两种物质的插入，玻璃密度显示出增加的趋势，但是SLGG系列的增强更多。根据实验测量结果，发现两种氧化物的添加均具有增加线性衰减系数（LAC）值的能力。Gd ₂的LAC从0.151改善到0.242 cm ^-1O ₃插入率，而La ₂ O ₃系列为0.148至0.202 cm-1 。此外，在实验测量和理论计算之间达成了良好的协议。根据测得的LAC值，对研究的玻璃系列评估了其他重要参数，包括质量衰减系数（MAC），半值层（HVL）和平均自由程（MFP）。总而言之，作者得出的结论是SLGG3玻璃可以与商业辐射屏蔽玻璃竞争。
