Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of emulsion explosive preparation technology, and in particular to a method for preparing anti-seepage mixed emulsion explosives for fractured rock strata. Background Technology
[0002] Mixed emulsion explosives are widely used in blasting operations in mining, water conservancy projects, and other fields due to their advantages such as good water resistance, excellent explosive performance, and low production cost. However, in fractured rock environments, existing mixed emulsion explosives generally suffer from insufficient matrix consistency and poor cohesion, leading to easy leakage along rock fissures after loading. This not only increases explosive consumption and blasting costs but may also affect blasting effectiveness due to uneven explosive distribution, and even cause safety hazards.
[0003] In existing technologies, improvements to mixed emulsion explosives mainly focus on storage stability and detonation velocity enhancement, such as improving stability by optimizing the emulsifier structure or enhancing detonation performance by adjusting the sensitization process. However, there are few technical solutions specifically addressing the anti-leakage requirements of fractured rock formations. Furthermore, blasting in fractured rock formations often faces complex conditions, such as low-temperature environments and storage requirements. Existing anti-leakage technologies often struggle to simultaneously achieve multiple performance indicators, including anti-leakage, detonation velocity, low-temperature resistance, and storage stability. Therefore, developing a method for preparing mixed emulsion explosives that combines high anti-leakage, excellent explosive performance, and environmental adaptability is crucial for solving the challenges of blasting in fractured rock formations. Summary of the Invention
