  2. Drilling and blasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_and_blasting

    The most commonly used explosives in mining today are ANFO based blends due to lower cost than dynamite. Before the advent of tunnel boring machines (TBMs), drilling and blasting was the only economical way of excavating long tunnels through hard rock, where digging is not possible.

  3. Use forms of explosives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_forms_of_explosives

    Dynamite is considered a "high explosive", which means it detonates rather than deflagrates. The chief uses of dynamite used to be in construction, mining and demolition. However, newer explosives and techniques have replaced dynamite in many applications. Dynamite is still used, mainly as bottom charge or in underwater blasting.

  4. Water gel explosive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_gel_explosive

    Detagel, which is very high in strength, is a specific example of a small diameter water gel explosive that is used for mining activities. [citation needed] Water gel explosives are frequently used as cartridge explosives because they are much easier to load into large casings. With water gel explosives, the slurry material can simply be poured ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semtex

    The composition of the two most common variants differ according to their use. The 1A (or 10) variant is used for mining, and is based mostly on crystalline PETN.The versions 1AP and 2P are formed as hexagonal booster charges; a special assembly of PETN and wax inside the charge assures high reliability for detonating cord or detonator.

    This is a list of software used to simulate the material and energy balances of chemical process plants. Applications for this include design studies, engineering studies, design audits, debottlenecking studies, control system check-out, process simulation, dynamic simulation, operator training simulators, pipeline management systems, production management systems, digital twins.

  8. Shaped charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaped_charge

    Explosive energy is released directly away from the surface of an explosive, so shaping the explosive will concentrate the explosive energy in the void. If the hollow is properly shaped, usually conically, the enormous pressure generated by the detonation of the explosive drives the liner in the hollow cavity inward to collapse upon its central ...
