Abstract
This note introduces a novel method for mining and tunnel blasting. The new system includes a blast tube, natural accumulation biomass powder, high pressure oxygen, and a high energy ignitor. The detonation performance of sawdust was tested, demonstrating the feasibility of such a material for blasting. Subsequently, the new method was demonstrated at a blasting site for cushion blasting. Finally, the advantages of the biomass blasting technology are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Shock Waves provides a forum for presenting and discussing new results in all fields where shock and detonation phenomena play a role. The journal addresses physicists, engineers and applied mathematicians working on theoretical, experimental or numerical issues, including diagnostics and flow visualization.
The research fields considered include, but are not limited to, aero- and gas dynamics, acoustics, physical chemistry, condensed matter and plasmas, with applications encompassing materials sciences, space sciences, geosciences, life sciences and medicine.
Of particular interest are contributions which provide insights into fundamental aspects of the techniques that are relevant to more than one specific research community.
The journal publishes scholarly research papers, invited review articles and short notes, as well as comments on papers already published in this journal. Occasionally concise meeting reports of interest to the Shock Waves community are published.
