What is an explosive?
Anthracite
Subbituminous
Lignite
Bituminous
Take 1kg of Coal and Explosive
Which produces more energy?
![Page 3: Dimensioning explosives energy in the blast - Ken](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/5594292b1a28abae5a8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Coal produces more energy!
Approximately 6.5 x more
Coal 20 to 30MJ/kg
vs.
Anfex 3.8MJ/kg
![Page 4: Dimensioning explosives energy in the blast - Ken](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/5594292b1a28abae5a8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
So why don’t we use coal as an explosive?
Time
Coal burns slowly!
![Page 5: Dimensioning explosives energy in the blast - Ken](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/5594292b1a28abae5a8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Coal needs additional elements- Explosives has its own oxygen
Air (Oxygen)
Combustion products from coal
Some 6.25kg of these elements required per 1kg of coal for combustion to occur
Carbon
CO2
Hydrogen
H2O
Sulphur
SO2
Oxygen
Nitrogen
NOx
Ash

An explosive produces:
A rapid reaction
Shock wave
Expansion of gases

Density of rock mass
High density rocks do not deform easily and require high explosive energy to fragment
But – hard rock is easy to blast
Low density rocks deform easily and require distributed low explosive energy to fragment
But – soft rock is difficult to blast

Breaking effect: How is the energy delivered?
Required:
Fragmentation, movement
Unwanted:
Damage, vibration, flyrock, fumes, sensitivity.
What form of energy is required at mine?Useful energies = fragmentation, heave
Reduce wasted energy, fuel, wear & tear
load, haul, crush, mill
Want as little as possible

Another way to look at energy is:- Non Ideal Detonation
How well is the product mixed?
Incomplete Reaction
Dependent on Confinement
Ideal assumes no rock movement
Curved Shock Front
Dependent on Diameter
![Page 21: Dimensioning explosives energy in the blast - Ken](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062406/5594292b1a28abae5a8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How does this affect the detonation?
Detonation becomes less ideal in smaller diameters
Detonation pressure is reduced
Velocity of detonation decreases

Achieving the best blast performance,
necessitates the replacement of guess by
understanding, brute force by finesse and
laxity by care and precision
