An operational method for evaluating the explosive characteristics and gas hazardousness of industrial explosives is presented. The distinctive feature of this approach is that the determination of the amount of toxic gases, detonation parameters and relative workability of explosives is carried out in a single experimental cycle, which makes it possible to comprehensively consider the peculiarities of the action of each explosive charge and objectively assess the level of its safety and effectiveness.
The study of the mechanism of excitation and propagation of detonation processes in water-containing explosives (WCE) has important scientific and practical significance. The stability and completeness of detonation of explosive charges determine the amount of energy released and the explosion momentum, which predetermine all subsequent phases of explosion development, namely: deformation of rock, its crushing, movement of rock mass and seismic action.
