2018-3-1 Mining blasts may be defined as the use of explosive charges in a controlled manner by following a tightly controlled timing sequence according to an assigned firing order. Changes of timing between charges may result in an altered firing order and failure of the blasting sequence, which can cause high vibration levels, poor fragmentation, and/or an undesirable rock mass movement direction.

2017-1-25 Abstract. Except for very deep-seated deposits, open cast mining method has been recognized as the safest and most productive mode for mining minerals. Ever growing demand in minerals and coal has compelled the mine operators to increase the size of mine, which has resulted in an increasing trend towards large capacity open cast projects.

Improving the explosive mining of flux raw materials

The use of high-energy explosives in quarries mining limestone and dolomite is undesirable. It is possible to increase the quality of flux materials by using an optimum conmbination of explosive energy and the physicomechanical properties of the rocks being mined; this is achieved by the proper choice of industrial grades of explosives, and by creating explosions with controlled detonation

2020-3-17 Rock fragmentation due to blasting depends upon many parameters. The properties of the explosive are one of them. In limestone quarries, ammonium nitrate–fuel oil (ANFO) or site mixed emulsion (SME) are generally used for rock fragmentation. Both these explosives cause substantial changes in the breakage mechanism of rockmass thereby affecting the fragmentation.
