Sažetak
Red mud is a by-product obtained by processing bauxite ore during alumina production. Based on chemical and morphological characteristics, red mud shows good potential for use as building material. Since red mud is of natural origin, the presence of radionuclides in such material is expected, which in increased concentration can cause damage to human health. As part of this research, the activity concentration of radionuclides in a red mud sample from Dobro Selo near Mostar (BiH) was examined by high- resolution gamma spectrometry. In addition to red mud, concentration of radionuclides in fly ash sample from the Tuzla thermal power plant (BiH) and in commercial cement from Holcim, Koromačno (CRO) were also examined for the purpose of comparing red mud with materials already used as construction materials.
