The process of formation of the energy field by the explosion of a conical charge has been mathematically simulated. The features of the development of the energy field, depending on the point of initiation of the truncated cone explosive charge, were determined. The complex nature of the use of a charge at the bottom of a borehole with an intermediate conically-shaped detonator is discussed. Possible technological directions for using a charge with a complex shape are proposed.
The influence of the shape of donor charges on their initiating ability is investigated. The composition of these charges, based on chopped ammonium nitrate(V) and nitromethane in the ratio of 95-80% to 5-20%, was investigated experimentally. The composition has a detonation velocity of 3000-3300 m/s and a critical diameter of 5-9 mm. It is established that the use of the truncated conical form of donor charges with a truncated taper angle of 15°, 30°and 45°, contributes to the concentration of the detonation wave along its axis. The use in these charges of a composition based on ammonium nitrate(V) and nitromethane with low energy characteristics will increase the quality of blasting operations. For reasons of safety, it is proposed that mixing is carried out on-site.
The technique of blasting in a mining is based mainly on application of the systems of the prolonged charges, which provide the rational distributing of charges explosive in the destroyed volume of rock mass. Large majority of output volumes is provided by the opencut method which fully is practically based on application of the downhole charges systems. A downhole charge must execute a few functions. Main of them is destruction of rocks around the mining hole, bit also avoiding the problem of overdrill in mass explosions is very important.
Reduction or complete liquidation of overdrill is possible by introduction of structural decisions, which create the reorientation of power stream of explosion in direction which coincides with the plane bench toe. Additional structural decisions for a control of overdrill size, capable to orient development of deformation process from the axis of downhole charge along the project bench toe, are needed. The article discusses the development of the deformation zone during the explosion, which allows to solve the problem of over-drilling.
Abstract:The results of studies on the thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate(VII) (PP) and the catalytic effects of copper, iron, nickel, titanium, magnesium, chromium and manganese oxides on the process are presented in this paper. The investigated oxides are ranked according to the magnitude of their catalytic effect; of these, CuO and МnО2 show the best catalytic performance. These oxides reduce the PP decomposition temperature from 919.3 K down to even 825.2 K. The share of the catalytic additive in the composition, required to achieve a desirable thermal decomposition profile, was found to be no more than 0.5 wt.%. The activation energy of the decomposition process was determined, using the modified Freeman and Carroll method for both neat PP and PP supplemented with MnO2; the addition of the catalyst produced a 48.8% decrease in the activation energy of thermal decomposition.
