PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PARTICULATE, WATER RESISTANT EXPLOSIVES BASED ON AMMONIUM NITRATE

摘要

C-I-L 712ABSTRACT"Process for the Production of Particulate, Water ResistantExplosives Based on Ammonium NitrateAn improved process for the manufacture of waterresistant dry blasting agents. Powdered, solid, waterblocking agent and solid fuel, if required, is added as asuspension in a liquid non-hydrating fuel phase to porousammonium nitrate prills. The process thus avoids unevennessof coating with water blocking agent of prior art processesand is particularly suited to on-site truck mountedmanufacturing of water resistant blasting agents.
