Definitions

  • the present invention relates to explosive compositions and, in particular, to sensitized explosive compositions.
  • Semisolid colloidal dispersions of water-bearing explosives or blasting agents are well known. These products typically comprise an oxidizing component, usually predominantly ammonium nitrate, a fuel component and water. These blasting agents are referred to in the art as slurry explosives (or as water gels), and as emulsion-type explosives.
  • Slurry explosives typically comprise a discontinuous fuel phase which is dispersed in a continuous aqueous solution of the oxidizer salt. Thickening agents are added to the aqueous phase in order to increase the viscosity of the explosive, or to effect gelation, and thus stabilize the structure of the explosive.
  • Emulsion explosives typically comprise a discontinuous aqueous oxidizer salt solution which is dispersed in a continuous fuel phase. Emulsifying agents are generally added to the dispersion to stabilize the dispersion.
  • additives to both slurry and emulsion explosives to modify the performance of the blasting agent is similarly well known.
  • additives include, for example, the addition of aluminum or ammonium nitrate to the explosive to increase the strength and/or sensitivity of the blasting agent.
  • One method of addition of voids in a blasting agent is the addition of hollow glass microballoons to an emulsion explosive. While this method provides a suitable means for the creation of voids within the blasting agent, the microballoons are relatively expensive and can be difficult to handle due to their low bulk density.
  • microballoons which products also have particles containing one or a number of gas bubbles, such as, for example, inorganic hollow microspheres made of glass, sirasu (Japanese volcanic ash), silicon sand, or sodium silicate and the like, is also known. These materials suffer from the same disadvantages as glass microballoons.
  • Edamura et al disclose in U.S. Patent No. 4,543,137, the use of a gas-retaining agent, such as, those made from foamed polystyrene, foamed polyurethane and the like.
  • the gas-retaining agents of Edamura et al can have a rigid structure similar to the inorganic microballoons described hereinabove, and which can be brittle and subject to breakage during handling or can be made soft and spongy so as to be more resistant to inadvertent breakage during handling.
  • These soft and spongy gas-retaining agents are produced by foaming a foaming agent in a thermoplastic resin and allowing the thermoplastic resin to set and thus entrap gas within the resin structure.
  • In-situ generation of air or gas voids within the blasting agent is an alternative method over the addition of gas filled microballoons and, typically, comprises the addition of a material which reacts in the blasting agent to generate a gas bubble.
  • This gas bubble is entrained within the blasting agent by the viscous nature of the semisolid blasting agent.
  • the generation of a gas void within the blasting agent by an in-situ chemical reaction is termed within the industry as chemical gassing.
  • a third route to introducing gas voids into an explosive blasting agent is to mechanically agitate the blasting agent composition in order to entrain an occluded gas void within the blasting agent.
  • This route has the disadvantage of intensive mechanical agitation of a sensitized explosive and can be subject to poor long-term blasting stability as gas is slowly lost from the blasting agent.
  • a further route to the production of gas voids within an explosive blasting agent is described by Curtin and Yates in U.K. Patent Application No. 2,179,035, wherein a gas bubble generating agent is added to the blasting agent prior to or while the blasting agent is subjected to superatmospheric pressure to dissolve at least part of the gas present.
  • the blasting agent is returned rapidly to atmospheric pressure and, thus, creates a fine discontinuous gaseous phase in the composition.
  • this production route requires the sensitized blasting agent to be prepared under pressure and, thus, requires specialized equipment adapted to handle the pressurized explosive.
  • the present invention provides a method of producing a water in oil emulsion explosive composition sensitized by dispersed gas bubbles, wherein the gas bubbles are introduced to said emulsion explosive composition by mixing a gas-in-liquid foam comprising at least 90% by volume gas into an emulsion explosive composition whereby the gas in said foam becomes a dispersion of sensitizing gas bubbles in said emulsion explosive composition, wherein the liquid in said gas-in-liquid foam comprises a liquid- or liquifiable-fuel and a foaming agent.
  • bubble in this specification and claims, is used to describe a mass of bubbles which have been dispersed in a liquid.
  • the bubbles are surrounded by and, thus, separated from each other by thin, flexible films of liquid with, optionally, viscosity control agents or foaming agent molecules absorbed at the gas/liquid interface in order to stabilize the film.
  • the gas phase comprises at least 90% by volume of the foam.
  • the foam used in the present invention may be produced by introducing or "sparging" a pressurized gas into a closed vessel containing the pressurized liquid component of the foam, mixing and subsequently releasing the pressure on the system so as to create small gas bubbles within the liquid component.
  • the foam produced can then be added to and blended into the base explosive composition by, for example, a low shear or a static mixer.
  • the pressurized gas used to form the foam can be any gas which is compatible with other components of the explosive.
  • the gas is air, carbon dioxide or nitrogen but any other gas could be used provided that the solubility of the gas in the liquid is controllable over the time and temperature range to which the sensitized explosive will be stored prior to use.
  • Bubbles can also be dispersed in the liquid carrier to produce a foam by mechanical agitation, such as, for example, by a high shear mixer, such as an Oakes mixer, or by low shear mixing of the liquid carrier to entrain gas voids within the liquid carrier.
  • Mechanical agitation in the process of the present invention is conducted on a non-explosive liquid carrier and, thus, is inherently safer and more effective than a process of entraining gas voids directly into the explosive composition.
  • the foams of the present invention preferably, have a low density in order to effectively lower the density of the explosive to which the foam is added.
  • the foam has a density of less than 0.2 g/ml and, more preferably, below 0.1g/ml and, even more preferably, below 0.06g/ml.
  • the liquid phase which surrounds the individual bubbles will begin to drain so as to create a thinner layer at the top of the bubble than at the bottom.
  • the thinner layer will break causing coalescence of the bubble or loss of gas from the foam and the loss or drainage of the carrier liquid from the foam.
  • the loss of gas is, thus, related to the 'drainage' rate of the foam in that the gas volume is reduced as liquid drains from the foam.
  • the stability of the foam can, thus, be measured by determining the half-life of the foam wherein the half-life is the time taken for the loss of half of the gas volume from the foam. The half-life is, thus, an indication of the shelf life of the foam after the foam is produced.
  • Control of the drainage rate and, thus, control of the half-life of the foam can be influenced and effectively controlled by the addition to the foam of additives which stabilize the liquid film around the bubble. If the foam is to be incorporated in the explosive shortly after it is produced, for example, within one to four minutes of production, foam stability is not as critical as for foams which are prepared and later added to the explosives.
  • Additives such as high viscosity polyisobutylene, act to increase the viscosity of the liquid film around the gas bubble.
  • additional additives such as foaming agents are, preferably, added to the liquid carrier in order to assist in formation of the foam.
  • the foams of the present invention preferably, comprise a gas, a foaming agent, a viscosity control agent and a liquid carrier.
  • the foaming agent provides a film around the gas bubbles in order to prevent them from bursting or coalescing.
  • typical foaming agents would include materials such as proteins, and, more specifically, milk proteins, egg proteins, animal proteins, vegetable proteins, fish proteins, ond any mixture thereof.
  • the foaming agent can also be a protein derivative or associated product, such as, phospholipids, lipoproteins, collagens, hydrolyzed proteins, and globulins. Steroids may also be used as a foaming agent.
  • the foaming agent may also include surfactants, such as, for example, FC740 or FC751 which are perfluorinated surfactants, or mixtures of other surfactants.
  • surfactants such as, for example, FC740 or FC751 which are perfluorinated surfactants, or mixtures of other surfactants.
  • Other foaming agents include lanolin oil, derivatives of succinic anhydride, glycerol monostearate, steryl octazylene phosphate and long chain alcohols.
  • Casein is a mixture of proteins extracted from milk solids or soya beans, and can be used as is or can be fractionated into a water soluble portion or an oil soluble portion, each of which can be separately used as a foaming agent.
  • the casein used may be totally or partially soluble in the oil but is, generally, dispersable so as to not be detrimental to foam production.
  • the stability of the foam may also be enhanced by the addition of solid particles, such as, carbon black, talc or other materials known in the foam stabilization art.
  • Viscosity in the foam can be controlled by the addition of viscosity control agent materials, such as, for example, high viscosity polyisobutylene, butyl rubber, natural rubber, bifunctional high molecular weight acids and the like and mixtures thereof to the liquid carrier which will increase the viscosity of the liquid component of the foam.
  • viscosity control agent materials such as, for example, high viscosity polyisobutylene, butyl rubber, natural rubber, bifunctional high molecular weight acids and the like and mixtures thereof to the liquid carrier which will increase the viscosity of the liquid component of the foam.
  • the viscosity of the oil selected will also influence the ease with which the foam can be produced and the drainage rate of the foam. Selection of the oil will, thus, depend on, inter alia , the method of manufacture of the foam, mixing conditions, temperature, residence times, pressure, type of gas and the like.
  • the foam can be added to sensitize any suitable explosive material wherein gas voids are advantageous.
  • Explosive materials include, in particular, emulsion explosives but also include propellants, high have explosives, such as, Heavy ANFO, modified emulsions, cast explosives, nitro ester based systems, and TNT, RDX or NG based systems.
  • the liquid carrier used to prepare the foam is a liquid which is, preferably, compatible with the continuous phase of the explosive and into which the preferred additives of the foaming system can be dispersed or dissolved.
  • the liquid carrier may take part in the detonation as a fuel or comprise an oxidizer, a sensitizer, or it may be non-reacting.
  • liquids are non-aqueous oils and solvents which are miscible with the organic liquid phase.
  • liquids or liquifiable materials which act as fuels in the explosive reaction.
  • fuels include, for example, paraffin oil and fuel oil.
  • the liquid carrier need not be perfectly compatible with the continuous phase of the explosive provided that the explosive composition created remains sufficiently stable to allow adequate storage stability based on the proposed use of the explosive composition.
  • Emulsion explosives includes low and essentially non-aqueous emulsions.
  • the liquid carrier wilt preferably, contribute to the total fuel phase present in the emulsion explosive and, thus, may be described as a fuel for the explosive, as described hereinabove.
  • a viscosity control agent can also be reduced or eliminated.
  • the foam once produced, is added to a base explosive composition, which base explosive composition is an insufficiently or non-sensitized emulsion explosive.
  • the foam is, preferably, added to the base explosive composition shortly after its production, in order to minimize the need to create foams which are stable for long periods of time. It has been our experience that the use of foams having a half life of greater than one to four minutes is desirable in order to have sufficient time to mix the foam into the explosive composition.
  • the foam is, preferably, added to the base explosive composition by a low shear mixing technique, such as, a static mixer or a ribbon mixer. During addition of the foam, the foam is broken and its gas bubbles are merely dispersed within the base explosive composition. At this stage, there is generally no need for intense mechanical agitation to entrain additional gas voids within the explosive composition.
  • the base explosive composition to which the foam sensitizer is added can be any chemically compatible emulsion explosive, which base explosive compositions are described in the prior art.
  • These base explosive compositions generally consist of a water-in-oil dispersion of an aqueous solution of an oxidizing salt and a fuel.
  • the oxidizing salt may be any of the oxygen-containing salts typically used in the industry. These salts include, for example, nitrates, chlorates, and perchlorates. Most preferred, are salts, such as, sodium nitrate, calcium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and, most preferably, ammonium nitrate or mixtures thereof.
  • the oxidizing salt may be melted, (e.g. as an eutectic mixture) to provide a liquid which can be dispersed as a discontinuous phase into the fuel or, more preferably, may be dispersed into the fuel as a concentrated aqueous solution.
  • the fuel phase may be any liquid or liquifiable fuel known within the explosives art and may be the same as or different than the fuel used in the preparation of the foam. Suitable materials include mineral oil, waxes, paraffin oils, benzene, toluene, xylenes, and mixtures of petroleum distillates such as gasoline, kerosene and diesel fuel.
  • An emulsion explosive formed as an embodiment of the present invention preferably, also include stabilizing surfactants, such as, for example, a mixture of sorbitan sesquioleate and a polyisobutylene succinic anhydride (PIBSA) based surfactant.
  • stabilizing surfactants such as, for example, a mixture of sorbitan sesquioleate and a polyisobutylene succinic anhydride (PIBSA) based surfactant.
  • PIBSA polyisobutylene succinic anhydride
  • soribitan esters such as, sorbitan sesquioleate, sorbitan mono-oleate, sorbitan mono-almitate, sorbitan mono-stearate and sorbitan tristearate
  • the mono- and di-glycerides of fat-forming fatty acids soya bean lecithin ond derivatives of lanolin, such as, isopropyl esters of lanolin fatty acids, mixtures of higher molecular weight fatty alcohols and wax estes
  • ethoxylated fatty ethers such as, polyoxyethylene lauryl ether, polyoxyethylene oleyl ether, polyoxyethylene stearyl ether, polyoxyalkylene oleyl laurate

  • Suitable mixtures of such conventional emuls such as, 2-oleyl-4,4′-bis-(hydroxymethyl)-2-o
  • the explosive compositions may also comprise additional additives to enhance or modify the properties of the explosive blasting agent.
  • additional additives are commonly known within the explosives industry and include the solid dopes and sensitizers commonly added to emulsions, such as, aluminum, ferrosilicon, TNT, AN, MAN, PETN and the like.
  • additional sensitizing agents such as, for example, glass microballoons, may also be used in combination with the foams of the present invention.
  • the present invention also provides a method of manufacturing a sensitized explosive composition as defined in claim 10.
  • the foam is prepared by mixing a carrier liquid with a foaming agent to form a foaming solution and subjecting said solution to mechanical agitation, such as in a high shear mixer, low shear, or a static mixer, or other mixers known to those skilled in the art of foam manufacture, or to a pressurized gas sparge, or allowing it to foam by chemical reaction in the foam system.
