WHO developed explosives that are primarily used in mining?
Alfred Nobel!!!!!!!!! :) (answered by a proud Carolinian)
What explosive to use in underground silver mining?
Blasting agents such as ANFO (ammonium nitrate/fuel oil) or emulsion explosives are commonly used in underground silver mining due to their good performance in confined spaces. These explosives are carefully engineered to provide the necessary energy to break the rock effectively while minimizing the risk of excessive damage. It's important to follow strict safety protocols and regulations when handling and using explosives in mining operations.
What degree do you get to become an explosives engineer?
Depends. People that develop explosives are Chemical Engineers. People that design the USE of explosives may be Civil Engineers, or Mining Engineers. However, many everday users of explosives for mining and construction do not have a degree.
What is blasting and casting?
Blasting is the use of explosives to break rock as one step in mining. Sometimes explosives are used to break AND move rock to one side- to permit the mining of what was under the rock. THAT is cast blasting. Rock is cast aside.
How are explosions helpful?
Explosives- about 5 million pounds a DAY- used used in construction and mining- and most mining would be impossible with them. Without mining, you have just reverted to a Stone Age civilization. No cars, no roads, no computers, no electriicity.
How do you become an explosives expert?
In order to be an explosives expert you need to be an expert in math and energy science. If you're serious about it, the Missouri University of Science and Technology offers a mining degree with an option to minor in explosives. They used to offer an exlosives engineering degree, but I guess that was discontinued.
What industry is the explosives industry associated with?
Historically, the explosives industry has been closely aligned with the coal mining industry
What type of technology is used in mining?
Large earth moving equipment, explosives, drilling equipment, tunneling equipment, etc.
What are the purposes of properly using explosives?
Millions of tons of explosives are used each year. As small percentage has a use as military weapons. The largest use is to break rock in mining and construction, and a small amount is used in demolition of structures.
What has the author Clarence Hall written?
Clarence Hall has written: 'The selection of explosives used in engineering and mining operations' -- subject(s): Explosives, Tests 'Investigations of fuse and miners' squibs' -- subject(s): Explosives 'Investigation of detonators and electric detonators' -- subject(s): Accessible book, Detonators, Explosives
What are medium explosives?
Medium explosives are materials with a moderate amount of power and sensitivity, falling between low and high explosives. They are often used in mining, construction, and military applications for their ability to generate controlled explosions. Examples of medium explosives include TNT (trinitrotoluene) and RDX (cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine).
What are the good and bad uses of explosives?
In the US, we use about 5 million pounds of explosives every day in mining and construction. Compared to that, a very tiny percentage is used in criminal acts to hurt people and destroy property.
