Formulation of industrial explosives using ANK technology for pneumatic charging

Keywords:industrial explosives, mechanical activation, ammonium nitrate, emulsion explosives, ANK technology, detonation velocity, particle size distribution

The article discusses technological schemes for the production of industrial explosives for pneumatic charging based on ammonium nitrate mechanically activated using ANK technology. ANK technology involves the sensitization of industrial explosives with non‑explosive components and is based on changing the surface energy due to structural and phase changes. The technological schemes have been implemented on the chassis of underground mining equipment manufactured by the Gekkon company. Samples of industrial explosives were produced and tested on prototype units designed for an underground charger, with both detonation and operational characteristics determined. Based on the data obtained, the advantages of industrial explosives produced using ANK technology were identified, as well as possible combinations and ratios of the components of industrial explosives.

Domestic underground emulsion technology for improving the method of reducing the effect of dynamic impact on the detonation of an adjacent charge sensitized by gas bubbles, when conducting blasting operations in mines and quarries

Keywords:emulsion explosives, gas bubble sensitization, dynamic effect, mixing and charging technology

Underground mining conditions introduce specific challenges to blasting technology. The reduced relative distance between charges, compared to open-pit mining, leads to a significant dynamic impact of explosive charge (or charge groups) explosions on undetonated charges in adjacent boreholes. As a result, explosive charges sensitized by gas bubbles may experience a reduced detonation velocity or even failure. This paper proposes a method for determining the magnitude of a concentrated charge equivalent in impact on a given point in the rock mass to a fan charge, allowing for the prediction of the initial velocity of the rock mass displacement during a fan charge detonation. A method for modeling the dynamic impact of a fan charge's lead blast on an adjacent fan using blasthole charges is also developed. A series of mechanisms with varying performance, dimensions, and power sources for driving them is proposed for sensitizing and loading explosives underground. These mechanisms are capable of producing explosives with a density of 0.8–1.2 g/cm³ and loading boreholes and boreholes with an emulsion viscosity of 40–140 Pa⸱s, which is sufficient to obtain explosives with optimal parameters to ensure the detonation capacity of explosive charges under dynamic loads.

Features of detonation of low-density mixtures of EEs with polystyrene granules

Keywords:low-density emulsion explosives, polystyrene foam granules, jet-portable model of the detonation process, smooth detonation

It has been shown that in low-density emulsion explosives (EE) obtained by mixing an emulsion with a significant volume of polystyrene foam granules, a stable spread of the explosive process is possible. This process takes place in the form of a detonation-like wave of combustion of emulsion droplets in jets of explosive gases flowing from the high-pressure region of the reaction zone. The chemical reaction in these EE occurs in the form of surface combustion of emulsion particles interacting with the gas stream. A method for determining the parameters of explosive decomposition of low-density EEs has been developed and it has been shown that during the explosion of these EEs, a gradual increase in pressure occurs in the decomposition products of explosives. Analytical studies made it possible to recommend low-density EEs obtained by mixing emulsions with a significant volume of polystyrene foam granules during smooth blasting. Pilot explosions at the quarries of the Urals and Siberia when setting sides in the limit position using low-density EEs confirmed the correctness of the recommendations made. The results obtained are useful in improving the technology of smooth blasting using low- density EEs.

The capabilities and outcomes of experimental evaluation for the initiating capacity of different configurations of the intermediate detonators

Keywords:blasting compounds, intermediate detonators (booster charges), linear initiation, tangential effect

In experimental-industrial conditions, the effect of raising the potency of the blasting action of borehole charges of granular explosives was obtained when initiated by a linear cord charge. The proposed explanation about the impact of lateral (side-multipoint) initiation and the corresponding increase in the tangential component of the shock wave impulse has been confirmed by special experiments on model charges with the capability of measuring the detonation velocity. These results make it possible to estimate the facts known from publications about the improved efficiency of intermediate detonators (booster charges) of elongated shape due to an increase in the geometry size and/or proportion of their "active mass".

The influence of borehole conditions on the detonation capacity of emulsion explosives

Keywords:detonation process, shock wave, borehole, sensitizing additive, detonation velocity, testing, charges

When using emulsion explosives in boreholes, the internal detonation process is different from the surface process. The charge detonation in the borehole results in a shock wave generation, which, by reflecting from the borehole wall, can "press down" the detonation wave up to its attenuation under certain conditions, which is recorded when determining the detonation velocity. Such a process is possible if the shock-wave velocity, which is equal to the sound speed in the material plus the mass velocity of the detonation products, is close to or greater than the explosive detonation velocity. Measuring the detonation pressure on the borehole walls would be the most informative. Moreover, the detonation process can be influenced by increased pressure in the lower part of the borehole, whereby stabilizing additives can be "squeezed out" to the top of the charge, and gas-generating bubbles be further compressed. This phenomenon can result in deactivation and failure of the explosives in the subdrill to detonate. All these factors should be taken into consideration for the design of blasting operations.

Elastic explosive formulation and development of the elastic explosive-based line charge for anti-hail rocket case self-destruction system

Keywords:anti-hail rocket, elastic explosive composition, line charges, petn

This paper presents the results of formulating an elastic explosive based on Petn grade "Sh", which is recommended for the production of line (ribbon-type) charges designed for use in self-destruction systems of the “Alazan” anti-hail rocket cases. It has been shown that the developed elastic explosive ET-85 corresponds in safety and manufacturability to the currently used RDX-based EG-85 possessing similar detonation characteristics and less-sized critical detonation diameter. The elastic explosive ET-85 manufacturing and line charge forming are performed using standard water-suspension process followed by roll-milling and extruding. The developed line charges based on elastic explosive ET-85 are low-cost compared to the currently used RDX-based charges, high-efficient ensuring the safe size of rocket case fragments, and can be used in other industrial fields.

Development of a control method for special conditions in the provision of public services for the issuance of permits for work with explosive materials for industrial purposes

Keywords:public service, control and supervisory activities, industrial explosives, industrial safety, government regulation, work permit, risk-based approach, special conditions

The article analyzes ways to optimize the procedure for providing public services for issuing permits for work with industrial explosives. The need for research is dictated by the high risk of these technological processes and the need to build an effective risk management system. The expediency of abandoning the discretionary approach in favor of a formalized control and supervisory mechanism is proved. A control method for regulating special conditions based on a risk-based approach is proposed. The transition from decision-making based on the personal judgment of the inspector to a strictly formalized verification system is justified. An algorithm for the implementation of the method and the expected effects in the form of an increase in the safety level of blasting facilities are presented. Keywords: public service, control and supervisory activities, explosive materials for industrial purposes, industrial safety, government regulation, work permit, risk-based approach, special conditions.

Keywords:emulsion explosives, detonation, emulsion, emulsifier, research, explosion, industry

The article presents an analysis and stages of the introduction of scientific developments into the practice of mining and explosives in Russia and abroad, which contributed to the development of new technologies in terms of creating new granular and emulsion explosives (EVV) for the mining industry, various types of industrial installations for their manufacture and improving safety.labor standards of miners and miners. Under the leadership of Vyacheslav Alexandrovich Sosnin, chief designer of industrial explosives at JSC “GosNII Kristall” (State Corporation “Rostec”), Doctor of Technical Sciences, and member of the Bureau of the Scientific Council of the Russian Academy of Sciences “On Problems of the Economic Use of Explosions,” the best explosive detonators were developed. Under his scientific supervision, for the first time in Russia, studies and industrial tests of safety‑enhanced explosive detonators were carried out at the Raspadskaya and Prokopyevskugol coal mines. Industrial tests of cartridge‑type small‑diameter explosive detonators were developed and conducted. The results are based on the practice of successfully applying unique domestic technologies that surpass foreign counterparts. The developed technologies for the production of emulsion explosives, equipment, and the developing scientific school have been recognized by experts and have ensured full sovereignty in industrial blasting and formed a unified foundation for the industrial safety of the mining industry.
