摘要:
A gas bubble sensitized water-in-oil emulsion explosive composition comprising a discontinuous aqueous phase comprising at least one oxygen-releasing salt, a continuous water-immiscible organic phase, a discontinuous gaseous phase, a water-in-oil emulsifying agent and at least one agent capable of facilitating the production of gas bubbles in the presence of said water-immiscible organic phase. The agent capable of facilitating the production of gas bubbles enhances the explosive characteristics of the composition.
摘要:
This invention concerns a water-in-oil emulsion explosive composition which comprises a discontinuous aqueous phase containing one or more oxygen-releasing salts, a continuous water-immiscible organic phase comprising sump oil, and an emulsifying agent. The explosive compositions show improved sensitivity over conventional compositions made using paraffin oil as the organic phase.
摘要:
Detonating apparatus comprises a plurality of multi- channel exploders (MCEs) connected to a control unit which provides an operator/apparatus interface remote from the MCE's detonator circuits. MCEs measure integrity, resonant frequency and impedance at resonance of the detonator circuits connected to each channel, and are thereby programmed to give optimum firing current at the resonant frequency. The control unit provides electrical power, interrogates the MCEs on the status of their detonator circuits, and gives firing signals to be obeyed by MCEs after predetermined delays.
摘要:
An emulsion explosive of the water-in-fuel type containing in its continuous phase a water immiscible fuel and at least a proportion of polymer in a liquid or in finely divided particle form. The explosive is particularly advantageous for use at low temperatures. The explosive may be made by emulsifying an aqueous solution or melt containing an oxidising salt and an aqueous dispersion of a polymer to form an emulsion in which the oxidising salt forms part of the discontinuous phase, and the polymer forms at least part of the continuous phase, the continuous phase forming a water immiscible fuel component.
