Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of emulsion explosive preparation, and particularly relates to a preparation process of emulsion explosive for underground mining. Background Art

[0002] Emulsion explosives are a new type of industrial explosive developed in the 1970s. They are formed by evenly dispersing droplets of aqueous oxidizer salt solutions in an oil-phase continuous medium containing porous substances such as dispersed bubbles or hollow glass microspheres with the help of emulsifiers.

[0003] The traditional production of emulsion explosives has the disadvantages of low intermittent process efficiency, low explosive fluidity and adhesion, and is not convenient for loading into vertical or inclined blast holes through a loader by pumping. As a result, the optimal blasting effect cannot be achieved when loading explosives for blasting, affecting the stability of detonation performance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a process for preparing underground mining emulsion explosives with a simple structure and reasonable design in order to solve the above problems.

[0005] The present invention achieves the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical solutions: A process for preparing emulsion explosives for underground mining comprises the following steps: Step 1, aqueous phase preparation: crush the ammonium nitrate, add it into the aqueous phase tank according to the ratio of sodium nitrate and water, heat it to 85±2℃ and stir it to form an aqueous phase solution; Step 2, oil phase preparation: melt the composite oil phase material and mix and stir with the emulsifier to form an oil phase solution; Step 3, continuous emulsification: the programmable controller controls the water phase and oil phase solutions to enter the colostrum in the crude emulsifier according to the preset ratio; Step 4: Pumping the aqueous phase and oil phase solution after the colostrum to the finishing emulsifier via an electric cylinder pump for secondary emulsification to form a latex matrix; Step 5, sensitization reaction: dynamically mixing the foaming agent with the latex matrix at a ratio of 0.02-0.06% to form a sensitized emulsion explosive; Step 6, automatic barrel filling: The plastic barrel is quantitatively filled with medicine controlled by a weighing sensor, and then transported to the transit warehouse after sealing.

[0006] As a further optimization scheme of the present invention, the mass ratio of ammonium nitrate, sodium nitrate and water in the aqueous phase preparation is 70%-80%:2%-6%:10%-15%, and a screw conveyor and a steam heating system are used for linkage control.

[0007] As a further optimization solution of the present invention, the air pressure of the steam heating system is less than or equal to 0.4 MPa, and the steam temperature when adding ammonium nitrate is 85°C.

[0008] As a further optimization scheme of the present invention, the volume of the coarse emulsifier in the continuous emulsification step is 120L, the fine emulsifier adopts a static mixer, and the density of the emulsified matrix is ​​controlled to be 1.40±0.05g / cm³.

[0009] As a further optimization scheme of the present invention, the sensitization step adopts the technology of synchronous addition of foaming agent, and realizes dynamic matching of latex matrix flow rate and foaming agent flow rate through a microcomputer measurement and control system.

[0010] As a further optimization scheme of the present invention, the foaming agent includes foaming agent A and foaming agent B, and the mass ratio of each component in the foaming agent is as follows: sodium nitrite: 15%-30%; foaming agent A: 15%-30%; foaming agent B: 10%-30%; water: 45%-55%.

[0011] As a further optimization solution of the present invention, the automatic barreling step is integrated with a weighing feedback system, equipped with an anti-static plastic barrel, plastic film bags laid in the barrel, and an automatic capping device, and the finished product transportation adopts a closed logistics system.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by mixing and stirring ammonium nitrate, sodium nitrate and a composite oil phase in a specific proportion, the mixture is pumped to a fine emulsifier for secondary fine emulsification after being produced in a coarse emulsifier, and then a foaming agent is added for a sensitization reaction, so that the produced explosive has certain fluidity and certain adhesion. The process is simple, which not only reduces the production cost, but also facilitates pumping to an upper inclined or vertical blast hole through a charge loader, and utilizes the fluidity and adhesion of the emulsion explosive to stably load the emulsion explosive, thereby greatly improving the blasting effect and the stability of the detonation performance.
