摘要

Management of radon emissions from uranium tailings ponds is crucial for public safety. Calcium lignosulfonate (CaLS)-modified red clay is explored as a radon mitigation material in this study. Experiments showed that a 6% CaLS concentration with a three-day curing period optimized radon adsorption, reduced exhalation rates by 30–47% and blocked up to 98.9% of radon. This modification also enhanced the soil strength. The use of CaLS-modified red clay in tailings dams significantly reduced radon emissions, and lowered health risks.
