The analysis has been made of the technical parameters of the existing passport for drilling and blasting operations (DBO) in terms of compliance with labour safety requirements and scientific-technical standards. The methodology for constructing the DBO passport has been developed, which takes into account the areas of blast-hole groups and the properties of emulsion explosives. The type of the cut has been analysed, modelled and accepted for use, which corresponds to the conditions of tunnelling as much as possible. The zones of deformation and fracturing in the massif around blast-hole charges have been simulated. The level of decrease in the hazard index for atmospheric air has been set when using the emulsion explosive Ukrainit-PP instead of TNT-containing charge – Ammonite No.6 ZhV.

Methodological Principles

Increasing the production capacity of open-pit and strip mines while ensuring the efficiency of the mining enterprise can be achieved through enhancing the quality of rock preparation prior to excavation. The use of emulsion explosives and the transition to the high-bench technology can reduce the cost of mining operations by optimizing the drilling and blasting parameters. The article reviews methods to improve the efficiency of rock preparation for extraction based on the applicable scientific and methodological principles and it proposes a method to regulate the density of emulsion explosives. Schemes are presented for calculation of drilling and blasting parameters when implementing technical measures aimed at improving the blasting quality through rock preparation for extraction in conditions of overburden and mining operations with bench height of 15 m and higher. Parameters of drilling and blasting operations on high benches are justified with differentiation of the charge density along the length of the blast hole by controlling the delivery of the gas-generating additive. A simulation has been performed and the results of pilot tests of the emulsion explosive charge density control at the Ural deposits are presented.

Scientific Achievements

Drilling and blasting operations (D&B) are the most difficult and laborious operations in the process of mineral extraction, requiring permanent development and upgrading of methods and equipment. The aim of the study is to substantiate the parameters of drilling and blasting drivage of horizontal and inclined (up to 12o) mine workings on the basis of high-performance self-propelled equipment and new designs of box cuts with cleaning explosive charges (0.2 kg of 6ZhV ammonite), placed in advance holes of 65 to 105 mm in diameter. The paper presents the results of the analysis of practical experience and scientific achievements in the field of drilling-andblasting rupture of solid media and continuum mechanics. The need for new designs of box cuts, reliability of which in the formation of high-quality (clean) cut cavity reaches 0.95-1.00, was substantiated. New design options of box cuts have been developed, the peculiarity of which consists in provision of sufficient compensation (peripheral) volume with the use of blast hole cut charges for blasting rupture of trapezoidal partitions, with the compensation volume factor of 2.50 to 1.34. Promising areas of research were shown using the example of complicated structure ore deposits and large faults in the Kirovograd ore district and crystalline rocks of the Ukrainian shield at the following mines of Ukraine: PJSC KZhRK, CJSC Sukhaya Balka (Kryvyi Rih), Vostok-Ruda LLC, SE VostGOK (Zheltye Vody), CJSC ZZhRK, etc. Promising areas of research were proposed using the example of complicated structure ore deposits typically formed at the junction of large faults; besides, the use of environmentally friendly emulsion explosives and self-propelled emulsion explosive chargers was recommended.

Since oil phase materials, oxidizer, and water are important components of emulsion explosive, their influences on compression resistance performance of emulsion explosives in deep water was studied by using reusable experiment device to simulate the deep charging environment. The experimental results show that with the equivalent content of the oil phase material, the sequence of three oil phase types of emulsion explosives from good to bad in terms of compression resistance performance and explosion performance in deep water are composite wax, composite wax and machine oil, paraffin wax, vaseline and machine oil. With the equivalent content of oxidant, the type of oxidant species has quite small influence on compression resistance performance and explosion property. Within a certain range, water content has small influence on compression resistance performance, and explosion performance increases with the increasement of water content, while it significantly decreases with water content increasing to a certain amount.

Abstract Explosive welding is an effective method of joining of various metals and alloys. However, when the materials with very different strength and thermo-physical properties are welded or thin-layer cladding is performed, the difficulties occur which call for extra investigations. In the present paper, with the couples of steel / carbide composite and copper / hardened steel used as examples, under study were the peculiarities of bonding formation by the explosive welding of metals with highly differing properties. The experiments were carried out with emulsion explosive containing hollow micro-spheres and detonating in thin layers with the low (2 - 3 km/s) detonation velocity. Obtained results show that the emulsion explosives enable to extend the explosion welding potentiality.

Technical Solutions

An internationally acknowledged requirement is to analyze and provide technical solutions for prevention and safety during use and maintenance of manure spreader wagons. Injuries statistics data and specific studies show that particular constructive criticalities have been identified on these machines, which are the cause of serious and often fatal accidents. These accidents particularly occur during the washing and maintenance phases, especially when such practices are carried out inside the hopper when the working bodies of the machine are in action. The current technical standards and the various safety requirements under consideration have not always been effective for protecting workers. To this end, the use of SWOT analysis allowed to highlight critical and positive aspects of the different solutions studied for reducing the risk due to contact with the working bodies. The selected and tested solution consists in a decoupling system automatically activated when the wheels of the wagon are not moving. Such a solution prevents the contact with the moving working bodies of the machine when the worker is inside the hopper. This mechatronic solution allowed to obtain a prototype that has led to the resolution of the issues related to the use of the wagon itself: in fact the system guarantees the stopping of manure spreading organs in about 12 seconds from the moment of the wheels stopping.

ALROSA performs blasting operations mainly using explosives manufactured on the spot. Considering modern trends of using local manufacture explosives, Company’s experience of application of emulsion explosives, as well as prompt introduction of technological innovations, novel process solutions are utilized in manufacture and use of emulsion explosives. To this effect, Udachny Mining and Processing Plant constructed and commissioned a plant to manufacture non-explosive components for emulsion explosives within the Plant’s infrastructure area. Emulsion explosives enable blasting in open pit and underground mines which are assumed hazardous in terms of oil and gas shows. Within the framework of technical upgrading at MMLT-500-PR Plant, the investment project on construction and commissioning of a modular production line to manufacture packaged emulsion explosives has been implemented. The field trials of NPGM grade emulsion explosive has proved the economic and production efficiency of blasting using this explosive in open pit and underground mining. This article presents the results of testing and application of NPGM emulsion explosive during blasting in open pit and underground mines of ALROSA. The outcomes of pilot explosions using this type explosive as the main borehole and chain charges, as well as intermediate detonators in full-scale conditions of an underground mine and in an open pit are described. The proposed technology features higher operational efficiency and is applicable in various geotechnical conditions of mineral mining.

Strong Confinement

Emulsion explosives (EMX) based on fine emulsion matrix are characterized by high detonation ability. Critical diameter (as minimum diameter when detonation occurs) and reaction zone length are known in the case of thin confinement with low acoustic impedance. The dependence of critical diameter of EMX in steel confinement with high acoustic impedance was examined in the range of initial density 0,75–1,37 g/cm3 . Density was varied by the concentration of glass microballoons, which were used as the sensitizer. It was shown experimentally, that characteristic value is /2 1 cr R d a  in the case of strong confinement. This can be due to the decrease of detonation front curvature. Comparison was made between the values of critical diameter in weak and strong confinement. The main distinction is that such dependence in strong confinement is lower and almost monotonic. This can indicate the influence of some processes besides lateral rarefaction wave. Period of reaction is closely connected with critical diameter and reaction zone length. Model based on heterogeneous kinetic of heating of emulsion surrounding single microballoon was proposed to describe the experimental dependence of the reaction zone time of EMX on concentration of microballons

Carcinogenic Effects

Assessment of risk to Kaluga population health has been carried out taking into account both air pollution with nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and suspended solids (dust), and danger coefficients related to development of non-carcinogenic effects for specific substances, and the hazard index for a group of substances with unidirectional impact. An alarming risk prevailed for the population health in the period from 2013 to 2016. The main contribution in this risk formation was made by atmospheric air pollution with nitrogen dioxide and suspended solids. The tendency for territorial expansion of city’s controlled areas with a predominance of acceptable non-carcinogenic risk to public health in 2017 has been established.
