Definitions
- the present invention relates to improved chemical gassing of explosives, in particular to a gassing composition for use in explosives.
- the present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing explosives and to an explosive composition.
- Chemical gassing of explosive compositions such as emulsion explosives, has been practised with chemical gassing agents such as sodium nitrite. These gassing agents may, in certain conditions take a considerable time to generate the desired gas and form a suitable gassed explosive. In commercial operations it is desirable to quickly generate the gas so that the explosive may be detonated.
- One of the problems associated with the gasser systems of the prior art is that the maximum gasser rate currently achievable is not sufficiently rapid for some applications. For example, this is a particular disadvantage when bulk explosives are loaded into large volume blastholes in cold climates because it may take several hours for the bulk explosive to fully gas.
- the gasser reaction commences shortly after the mixture of gasser composition and bulk emulsion is loaded into a blasthole and reaches completion rapidly.
- Mining operations are usually carried out on a tight schedule and delays are minimised so that efficiency is maximised. Accordingly there are economic advantages to minimising the delay between the completion of loading and detonation of the blastholes. This is particularly important in underground blasting where an entire mine tunnel may have to be evacuated and activities in many areas halted while blasting is carried out. In many above ground and underground mines blasting is carried out at one set time each day and if the blastholes and explosives are not ready at the set time, then there is a 24 hour wait for the next opportunity to detonate the blastholes.
- the present invention provides a gassing composition for gassing explosive compositions wherein, the gassing composition comprises a gassing agent and a metal salt having a divalent cation.

- the gassing composition of the present invention may be used in a wide variety of explosive compositions, including water-in-oil emulsions, oil-in-water emulsions (or slurries).
- Water-in- oil emulsions include, for example compositions where the emulsion is a water-in-oil emulsion, melt-in-fuel emulsion and melt-in-oil emulsion.
- the present invention will now 5 be described in relation to water-in-oil emulsion explosives.
- the gassing compositions may be used in other forms of explosive compositions with modifications adapted to account for the chemical interactions between the gasser composition and the explosive composition.
- the rate of gas formation by a gasser composition dispersed in an emulsion may be affected by a variety of parameters including the emulsion temperature, ambient temperature, ground temperature, the concentration of components in the gasser composition, the composition of the explosive composition and h.
- Water-in-oil emulsion explosive compositions were first disclosed by Bluhm in United States Patent 3,447,978 and comprise (a) a discontinuous aqueous phase comprising discrete droplets of an aqueous solution of inorganic oxygen-releasing salts; (b) a continuous water-immiscible organic phase throughout which the droplets are dispersed and (c) an emulsifier which forms an emulsion of the droplets of oxidiser salt solution throughout the continuous organic phase.
- these types of-emulsions comprise very little water or adventitious water only in the discontinuous phase they are more correctly referred to as melt-in-fuel emulsion explosives.
- the emulsion suitable for use as an explosives emulsion is a water-in-oil or melt-in- oil emulsion or melt-in-fuel emulsion.
- Suitable oxygen releasing salts for use in the aqueous phase of the emulsion of the present invention include the alkali and alkaline earth metal nitrates, chlorates and perchlorates, ammonium nitrate, ammonium chlorate, ammonium perchlorate and mixtures thereof.
- the preferred oxygen releasing salts include ammonium nitrate, sodium nitrate and calcium nitrate. More preferably the oxygen releasing salt comprises ammonium nitrate or a mixture of ammonium nitrate and sodium or calcium nitrates.
- the oxygen releasing salt component of the compositions of the present invention comprise from 45 to 95 wt% and preferably from 60 to 90 wt% of the total emulsion composition.
- the oxygen releasing salt comprises a mixture of ammonium nitrate and sodium nitrate or calcium nitrate the preferred composition range for such a blend is from 5 to 100 parts of sodium nitrate or calcium nitrate for every 100 parts of ammonium nitrate.
- the amount of water employed in the compositions of the present invention is in the range of from 0 (for a melt-in-fuel emulsion) to 30 wt% of the total emulsion composition.
- the amount employed is from 4 to 25 wt and more preferably from 6 to 25 wt% .
- the continuous water immiscible organic phase of the emulsion composition of the present invention comprises the continuous "oil" phase of the emulsion composition and is the fuel.
- Suitable organic fuels include aliphatic, alicyclic and aromatic compounds and mixtures thereof which are in the liquid state at the formulation temperature.
- Suitable organic fuels may be chosen from fuel oil, diesel oil, distillate, furnace oil, kerosene, naphtha, vegetable oils, waxes such as microcrystalline wax, paraffin wax and slack wax, paraffin oils, benzene, toluene, xylenes, asphaltic materials; polymeric oils such as the low molecular weight polymers of olefines, animal oils, fish oils and other mineral, hydrocarbon or fatty oils and mixtures thereof.
- Preferred organic fuels are liquid hydrocarbons generally referred to as petroleum distillates such as gasoline, kerosene, fuel oils and paraffin oils.
- the organic fuel or continuous phase of the emulsion comprises from 2 to 15 wt% and preferably 3 to 10 wt% of the total composition.
- emulsifiers are used to decrease interfacial tension between the aqueous and oil phases. Molecules of the emulsifier locate at the interface between the aqueous droplet and continuous hydrocarbon phase. The emulsifier molecules are oriented with the hydrophilic head group in the aqueous droplet and the lipophilic tail in the continuous hydrocarbon phase. Emulsifiers stabilise the emulsion, inhibiting coalescence of the aqueous droplets and phase separation. Emulsifiers also inhibit crystallisation of oxidiser salt in the aqueous droplets which crystallisation can lead to emulsion breakdown and reduction in detonation sensitivity of the emulsion explosive composition.
- the emulsifier of the emulsion composition of the present invention may comprise emulsifiers chosen from the wide range of emulsifiers known in the art for the preparation of emulsion explosive compositions. It is particularly preferred that the emulsifier used in the emulsion composition of the present invention is one of the well known emulsifiers based on the reaction products of poly[alk(en)yl] succinic anhydrides and alkylamines, including the polyisobutylene succinic anhydride (PiBSA)derivatives of alkanolamines.
- PiBSA polyisobutylene succinic anhydride
- Particularly preferred emulsifiers include condensation products of poly[alk(en)yl] succinic anhydride with amines such as ethylene diamine, diethylene triamine and ethanolamine.
- Another preferred emulsifier for use in the emulsion composition of the present invention is a mixture of PiBSA based and sodium mono-oleate based emulsifiers.
- emulsifiers for use in the emulsion of the present invention include alcohol alkoxylates, phenol alkoxylates, poly(oxyalkylene)glycols, poly(oxyalkylene)fatty acid esters, amine alkoxylates, fatty acid esters of sorbitol and glycerol, fatty acid salts, sorbitan esters, poly(oxyalkylene) sorbitan esters, fatty amine alkoxylates, poly(oxyalkylene)glycol esters, fatty acid amines, fatty acid amide alkoxylates, fatty amines, quaternary amines, alkyloxazolines, alkenyloxazolines, imidazolines, alkylsulphonates, alkylarylsulphonates, alkylsulphosuccinates, alkylarylsulpnonates, alkylsulphosuccinates, alkylphosphates, alkenylphosphates, phosphate esters
- the emulsifier of the emulsion comprises up to 5 wt of the emulsion.
- Higher proportions of the emulsifying agent may be used and may serve as supplemental fuel for the composition but in general it is not necessary to add more than 5 wt% of emulsifying agent to achieve the desired effect.
- Stable emulsions can be formed using relatively low levels of emulsifier and for reasons of economy it is preferable to keep the amount of emulsifying agent used at the minimum required to form the emulsion.
- the preferred level of emulsifying agent used is in the range of from 0.1 to 3.0 wt% of the water-in-oil emulsion.
- secondary fuels may be incorporated into the emulsion in addition to the water immiscible organic fuel phase.
- secondary fuels include finely divided solids and water miscible organic liquids which can be used to partially replace water as a solvent for the oxygen releasing salts or to extend the aqueous solvent for the oxygen releasing salts.
- solid secondary fuels include finely divided materials such as sulphur, aluminium, urea and carbonaceous materials such as gilsonite, comminuted coke or charcoal, carbon black, resin acids such as abietic acid, sugars such as glucose or dextrose and vegetable products such as starch, nut meal, grain meal and wood pulp.
- water miscible organic liquids include alcohols such as methanol, glycols such as ethylene glycol, amides such as formamide and urea and amines such as methylamine.
- the optional secondary fuel component of the composition of the present invention comprises from 0 to 30 wt% of the total composition.
- the emulsions themselves are not detonable and to form an explosive emulsion must be mixed with sensitising agents such as a self explosive (e.g. trinitrotoluene or nitroglycerine) or a discontinuous phase of void agents.
- Sensitising using this explosives has been superseded by sensitisation methods which utilise nonexplosive sensitising agents. For example the incorporation of small voids into the emulsion which act as hot spots for propagating detonation may sensitize the emulsion and result in a detonable explosive.
- the emulsion may also be incorporated into the emulsion other substances or mixtures of substances which are oxygen releasing salts or which are themselves suitable as explosive materials.
- the emulsion may be mixed with prilled or particulate ammonium nitrate or ammonium nitrate/fuel oil mixtures to form so-called heavy ANFOs (or HANFOs).
- divalent cation salts falling within the above description may have the desired effect on the gasser rate of an emulsion, but may be less preferred for use in a gasser solution or an emulsion explosives formulation.
- the addition of FeSO 4 to an emulsion explosive formulation comprising nitrate ions may cause production of large quantities of noxious fumes.
- Copper nitrate may also be an unsuitable additive in an emulsion explosive formulation due to the possibility of forming undesirable by-products, including a touch sensitive explosive such as copper tetramine nitrate.
- the final density of the gassed emulsion may depend on the concentration of the components of the gasser composition but typically the final density is between 0.2 and 1.5 g/cc. Preferably the final density is between 0.5 and 1.3 g/cc or more preferably between 0.6 and 1.2 g/cc.
- the water-in-oil emulsion composition may be prepared by a number of different methods.
- One preferred method of manufacture includes: dissolving said oxygen releasing salts in water at a temperature above the fudge point of the salt solution, preferably at a temperature in the range from 20 to 110 °C to give an aqueous salt solution; combining an aqueous salt solution, a water immiscible organic phase, and an emulsifier with rapid mixing to form a water-in-oil emulsion; and mixing until the emulsion is uniform.
- a water-in-oil emulsion of the following composition was prepared for use in the example;
- the emulsifier system comprised a mixture of a sorbitan mono-oleate derivative (SMO) and the uncondensed amide formed by the reaction of an alkanolamine with poly(isobutylene)succinic anhydride (PiBSA).
- SMO sorbitan mono-oleate derivative
- PiBSA poly(isobutylene)succinic anhydride
- the emulsion was prepared by dissolving ammonium nitrate in the water at elevated temperature (98 °C) then adjusting the pH of the oxidiser solution so formed to 4.2.
- the fuel phase was then prepared by melting the microcrystalline wax and mixing it with the hydrocarbon oil/emulsifier system mixture.
- the oxidiser phase was then added in a slow stream to the fuel phase 98 °C with rapid stirring to form a homogeneous water-in-oil emulsion.
- the emulsion was then divided into numerous portions of equal mass.
- Gasser Compositions A series of gasser compositions were prepared by dissolving sodium nitrite and a divalent metal salt in water. All the gasser compositions comprised 5 wt% sodium nitrite and 35 wt% divalent salt (with the exception of calcium chloride which was 32.5 wt% and magnesium sulphate which was 33.6 wt%). A control gasser composition was prepared by dissolving sodium nitrite (5 wt%) in water.
- the water-in-oil emulsion was divided into numerous portion. Each of the gasser compositions was mixed into a separate portion of emulsion at 30°C, the gassing rate was measured and the relative rate constant at 30°C was calculated. The relative rate constant is the rate constant measured, divided by the rate constant for the control sample.
- the relative reaction rate constants for gasser compositions having different divalent metal salts are recorded in Table 1.
- the catalytic effect decreases going down a column of the periodic table; for example magnesium nitrate has a greater effect per mole than calcium nitrate which in turn has a greater effect than strontium nitrate.
- magnesium and zinc nitrate have a greater effect on gasser rate than calcium nitrate.
- Example 2 In this example a gasser composition of the present invention was added to a water-in-oil emulsion comprising a PiBSA based emulsifier system and compared with the results obtained in Example 1 where the gasser composition is added to an emulsion comprising a mixed PiBSA/SMO based emulsifier system.
- a water-in-oil emulsion was prepared as described is Example 1 but instead of a PiBSA/SMO emulsifier system, PiBSA alone was used as emulsifier. Emulsion of this formulation was suitable for use in forming an explosives emulsion.
- the first gasser composition comprised 35 wt% calcium nitrate and 5 wt% sodium nitrite in water.
- the second, control gasser composition comprised 5 wt% sodium nitrite in water.
- the water-in-oil emulsion was divided into two portions. Each of the two gasser compositions were mixed into separate portions of emulsion at 30 °C, the gasser rate was measured and the relative rate constant at 30 °C was calculated. The relative rate constant is the rate constant measured, divided by the rate constant measured for the control sample.
- the reaction rate constants for two gasser compositions are recorded in Table 2.
- the presence of the divalent metal salt (calcium nitrate) in the gasser composition increased the rate of gasser by 2.5 times the rate of gasser using the control gassing composition. It is noted that the gassing rate for the emulsion comprising PiBSA based emulsifier was less than the gassing rate for the equivalent emulsion comprising a mixed PiBSA/SMO emulsifier system (Table 1).
- the final density of the gassed emulsion was 1.0 ⁇ 0.1 g/cc.
- Example 5 The experiments described in Example 3 which were carried out at 30 °C were repeated using emulsion and gasser composition at 5 °C.
- the gassing times were also measured for the experiments described in Example 3 and the results are recorded in Table 4.
- the gassing time is the length of time taken for the gasser reaction to reach completion in an emulsion at 30°C.
- Gasser compositions were made up using 5 wt% NaNO 2 and a range of different concentrations of divalent cation salts.
- the gasser compositions were added to separate portions of emulsion made according to Example 1 and the gasser rate was measured.
- the reaction rates measured indicate that the extent of the increase in gasser rate is approximately proportional to the square of the nitrite salt concentration. Without wishing to be bound by theory it is believed that the divalent cation takes part twice in the rate limiting step of the gassing reaction mechanism.
- gasser compositions of the present invention comprising different levels of divalent cation salt were added to a water-in-oil emulsion comprising a PiBSA/SMO based emulsifier system and the final gassed emulsion densities were measured.
- a water-in-oil emulsion was prepared as described in Example 1.
- Example 8 The experiment described in Example 7 was repeated, the only difference being that all gasser compositions additionally included 10 wt% NaSCN. The densities measured for the gassed emulsions were all within the range 0.97-0.98 g/cc.
- Gasser Compositions Tl and T2 comprise a divalent cation Ca 2+ while the control gasser does not comprise a divalent cation.
- the three samples of gasser composition mixed with emulsion were pumped into three separate vessels of equal volume at a loading rate of 70kg/minute.
- Figure 1 illustrates a faster gasser rate and lower final density for the emulsion samples gassed with gasser compositions Tl and T2 than the control samples.
- Gasser composition T2 which comprises twice the content of divalent cation Ca 2+ compared to gasser composition Tl also exhibits the faster gasser rate.
