The detonation enthalpies and velocities of the obtained ammonium nitrate derivates were measured, revealing their suitability for application in fertilizer production. These results showed that, for a pure ammonium nitrate solution, coating with 0-20 wt% fly ash and adding a maximum of 25 wt% limestone and dolomite would eliminate the detonation problem associated with ammonium nitrate. It was also revealed that chemicals such as lead azide, lead styphnate, and mercury fulminate, which normally increase the detonation velocity of ammonium nitrate, did not do so when it contains CaCO３ (12.5%), CaMg(CO３)２ (7.5%), or fly ash (0- 20%). Even with the addition of lead saltsandmercury fulminate, the detonation velocity of calcium ammonium nitrate continues to decrease. Thus, the detonation hazard of calcium ammonium nitrate can be mitigated. Keywords:ammonium nitrate, calcium carbonate, dolomite, fly ash, detonation 1.

  • Chapter 2 EXPLOSIVES
    Chapter 2 EXPLOSIVES This chapter classifies commercial blasting compounds according to their explosive class and type. Initiating devices are listed and described as well. Military explosives are treated separately. The ingredi- ents and more significant properties of each explosive are tabulated and briefly discussed. Data are sum- marized from various handbooks, textbooks, and manufacturers’ technical data sheets. THEORY OF EXPLOSIVES In general, an explosive has four basic characteristics: (1) It is a chemical compound or mixture ignited by heat, shock, impact, friction, or a combination of these conditions; (2) Upon ignition, it decom- poses rapidly in a detonation; (3) There is a rapid release of heat and large quantities of high-pressure gases that expand rapidly with sufficient force to overcome confining forces; and (4) The energy released by the detonation of explosives produces four basic effects; (a) rock fragmentation; (b) rock displacement; (c) ground vibration; and (d) air blast. A general theory of explosives is that the detonation of the explosives charge causes a high-velocity shock wave and a tremendous release of gas. The shock wave cracks and crushes the rock near the explosives and creates thousands of cracks in the rock. These cracks are then filled with the expanding gases. The gases continue to fill and expand the cracks until the gas pressure is too weak to expand the cracks any further, or are vented from the rock. The ingredients in explosives manufactured are classified as: Explosive bases. An explosive base is a solid or a liquid which, upon application or heat or shock, breaks down very rapidly into gaseous products, with an accompanying release of heat energy.

  • CMJ MW NEW Chapter 01 FINAL
    Chapter One Analysis Mania Justus Liebig is widely regarded as the nineteenth century’s greatest chemist.1 Liebig is famous for developing the world’s first school for chemical research and a new piece of chemical glassware he called the Kaliapparat (potash apparatus). Iconic from the start, Liebig’s Kaliapparat remains familiar to present-day chemists everywhere from the American Chemical Society logo.2 Triumphalist accounts of Liebig are based on the attractive proposition that when Liebig invented the Kaliapparat in 1830 he solved the problem of organic analysis, and that this achievement was crucial in propelling his rapid rise to fame. These accounts also assume it was always obvious to Liebig that doing organic analysis would be his route to success, and that he intended to found a school for research in this area right from the start.3 This standard account of Liebig is, in large part, derived from what Liebig himself later wrote – autobiographical recollections that entered the historical literature through the first biography of Liebig, written by his devoted pupil Jacob Volhard.4 Despite numerous more recent studies of 1 James R. Partington, A History of Chemistry Vol. 4 (London: Macmillan, 1964), 300. 2 www.acs.org. 3 Organic analysis is the process by which chemists determine the composition of organic compounds in terms of their constituent elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and (sometimes) nitrogen. The nature of the early nineteenth-century problem confronting organic analysis is examined below in The State of the Field. 4 Jakob Volhard, Justus Liebig, Vol. 1 (Leipzig: Barth, 1909). According to Volhard’s pupil Daniel Vorländer, “Jacob Volhard,” Berichte der deutschen chemischen Gesellschaft 45 (1912): 1855–1902, 1856, JACKSON: Material World DRAFT 2 Liebig, the central elements of this hagiography have remained unchallenged until now.
