국내에서는 Heavy ANFO로 더 잘 알려져 있는 Emulsion Blends는 왁스 대신 오일을 사용 하여 상온에서 펌핑이 가능하도록 한 에멀젼과 ANFO(또는 초안)의 혼합물을 일컫는다. ANFO는 저렴하고 안전하며 장약이 쉽고 밀장전되는 장점이 있지만, 내수성이 거의 없고 폭발 속도가 느리며 장약 비중이 0.75∼0.90g/cc 정도로 낮아 폭약으로서 그 위력이 작은 단점을 갖고 있다. Blends는 수용성 ANFO 입자 사이의 빈 공간을 내수성 에멀젼이 태우고 있는 형태로서 에멀젼 함량 25%부터 내수성이 나타나기 시작하여 에멀젼 함량 40% 이상에서는 완전한 내수성을 갖게 되며, 에멀젼의 함량이 증가할수록 폭발속도는 카트리지 에멀젼 폭약에 근접하게 된다. 장약 비중은 에멀젼의 함량이 증가하여 45% 근처에서 1.25∼ 1.30g/cc의 최대 값을 갖지만, 그 이상의 에멀젼 함량에서는 기폭 감도 저하로 예감제를 사용하여 비중을 감소시키는 것이 바람직하다. Blends는 자체에 물을 함유하고 있으므로 열역학적으로 계산된 단위 중량당 반응열은 ANFO에 비해 매우 적지만, 폭발속도, detonation pressure(폭굉압), borehole pressure(폭발압력) 등이 ANFO에 비해 크므로 폭발압력에서부터 암석의 파괴가 가능한 압력가지의 단위 중량당 유효한 에너지의 양은 암석의 강도가 커질수록 ANFO에 비해 매우 적지만, 폭발속도, ANFO와 비슷해진다. 따라서 장약 비중이 ANFO의 130∼145%로 높은 Blends는 동일한 천공에 더 많이 장약할 수 있어 단위 천공당 암석 파괴에 이용되는 유효 에너지의 총 양이 커지게 되므로, 공간격과 저항선을 늘릴 수 있어 총 천공수를 감소시킬 수 있다. 결론적으로, Blends의 장점은 내수성과 함께 비장약량은 비슷하거나 약간 증가하는데 비해, 천공수는 크게 감소하여 전체적으로는 발파 현장의 경제성이 향상된다는데 있다.

Emulan은 ANFO와 bulk Emulsion(Emulite)의 흔합물로서 ANFO입자 사이의 공간은 내수성을 가진 Emulite로 채워지기 때문에 에너지와 밀도가 확실하게 증가하며 뛰어난 내수성을 가진다. 따라서 높은 장전밀도와 고 함유 에너지로 인하여 ANFO 대비 천공 미터당 암석 파쇄량을 40 %이상 증가시킬 수 있으며 저항선과 공간격을 각각 20%이상 증가시킬 수 있다. 특히, 습윤상태가 심한 장소에서 ANFO를 대신하여 가장 경제적인 폭약임이 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 최신 Bulk-type의 폭약(Emulan)과 AFPO 및 Emulsion계 폭약을 각각 사용하여 현장의 적용성, 상호 발파효과 및 효율성과 경제성 비교를 통하여 앞으로의 대규모 노천현장이나 석산에서 보다 적절하게 사용할 수 있는 화약류에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다.

The existence of shallow bedrock and the desire to use underground space necessitate the use of blasting methods. The standard blasting method under water after drilling is associated with certain technical difficulties, including reduced detonation power, the use of a fixed charge per delay, and decoupling. However, there is no blasting method to replace the existing blasting method. In this paper, a dry hole charged with ANFO blasting is assessed while employing a dry hole pumping system to remove water from the drill borehole. Additional standard blasting is also utilized to compare the blasting performances of the two methods. The least-squares linear regression method is adopted to analyze the blasting vibration velocity quantitatively using the measured vibration velocity for each blasting method and the vibration velocity model as a function of the scaled distance. The results show that the dry hole charged with ANFO blasting will lead to greater damping of the blasting vibration, more energy dissipation to crush the surrounding rock, and closer distances for the allowable velocity of the blasting vibration. Also, standard blasting shows much longer influencing distances and a wider range of the blasting pattern. The pilot test confirms the blasting efficiency of dry hole charged with ANFO blasting.

In order to determine the performance of an explosive, various parameters such as the detonation pressure, detonation velocity, heat generation, and fume generation of the explosive should be accurately described. In this study, the pressure increase, volume expansion, temperature increase, and detonation velocity of high explosives were tried to determined theoretically based on thermochemical theories. From this study, a Fortran program for calculating the explosion parameters, which can influence on the performance of explosives, was developed and applied to the high-explosives, ANFO and NG.

Large deformation and rapid pressure propagation take place inside the rock mass under the dynamic loads caused by the explosives, on quarry faces in order to extract aggregate material. The complexity of the science of rock blasting is due to a number of factors that affect the phenomenon. However, blasting engineering computations could be facilitated by innovative software algorithms in order to determine the results of the violent explosion, since field experiments are particularly difficult to be conducted. The present research focuses on the design of a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) code, for investigating in detail the behavior of limestone under the blasting effect of Ammonium Nitrate & Fuel Oil (ANFO). Specifically, the manuscript presents the FEA models and the relevant transient analysis results, simulating the blasting process for three types of limestone, ranging from poor to very good quality. The Finite Element code was developed by applying the Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL) equation of state to describe the thermodynamic state of ANFO and the pressure dependent Drucker-Prager failure criterion to define the limestone plasticity behavior, under blasting induced, high rate stress. A progressive damage model was also used in order to define the stiffness degradation and destruction of the material. This paper performs a comparative analysis and quantifies the phenomena regarding pressure, stress distribution and energy balance, for three types of limestone. The ultimate goal of this research is to provide an answer for a number of scientific questions, considering various phenomena taking place during the explosion event, using advanced computational tools.

일반적으로 석회석 광산에서의 발파는 ANFO를 사용하여 주로 시행되어지고 있다. Bulk장전 시스템의 도입으로 장약, 발파가 간편하여 효과적으로 발파를 할 수 있고 그 비용도 저렴하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 수공에서의 장약이 불가능하고 낮은 위력으로 인해 저항선 및 공간격의 제한이 커서 이에 따르는 발파효율의 저하가 불가피 하였다. 본 연구는 현재 해외에서 일반화되어 사용되고 있는 Bulk EMX(HiMEX)폭약을 국내 현장에 적용함으로 그 적용 방법과 이점을 규명하고자 시행되었다. 대규모 석회석 광산을 대상으로 적정 패턴을 산출하기 위해 기존의 발파 패턴과 비교하여 시험발파를 시행하여 저항선 및 공간격을 산정 하였으며 이를 토대로 해서 성신양회, 현대시멘트 영월사업소와 함께 장기간 시험발파를 실시하고 그 자료를 검증하였다. 그 결과 HiMEX는 초유폭약에 비해 비중이 높아 공당 장약량은 45%정도 증가하나, 1발파 당 생산 물량이 증가하여 5%이상의 장약량 감소효과를 볼 수 있었다. 또한 35∼50%정도의 천공비용이 감소되는 것으로 나타났다.

Gunpowder was invented as a result of discovering the fact that potassium nitrate acts as an oxygen carrier in the process of manufacturing traditional medicine by heating the mixture of potassium nitrate and sulfur. Rapid progress was made in dynamite manufactring technology as a result of development of basic chemistry in Europe. However, recently the demand for dynamite has decreased in favor of the ANFO explosive which is improved production technology. This study was attempted to clear the historical facts concerned with the developing process of European eaplosive technology, and intended to submitt the reference materials for researchers.

A TBM launching shaft in DTL2 Contract 915 site is located in a typical hard Bukit Timah granite formation and lots of blasting work is required for shaft sinking. The original blast design used the electric detonator and ANFO blasts consisting of 30 holes per one blast with 1.5 m depth of drilling hole. However, significant delay of work and poor progress were expected due to the limitation of the number of blasting hole and strict vibration regulation on retaining systems. To overcome such constraints, an efficient new blasting method which can improve productivity and satisfy vibration limit was required. The revised blast design, using triple-deck blasts with electronic detonators and cartridge emulsion explosives, gives better construction performance and can reduce construction time. Such a new blasting technique can be effectively used for similar underground projects in the future where the volume of rock blasting is significant.

In this study, the domestic bench blasting sites were researched to set the blast coefficient C according to the type of rock and type of industry. With the use of the experimental data on the representative industrial explosives and the data of the manufacturers'data on explosives, powder coefficient e was set up. The blast coefficient C was 0.21~0.30 when the average value for 5 representative kinds of rocks including granite was searched. The blast coefficient C for quarrying, mining and construction sites were 0.22, 0.13 and 0.26 respectively. On the other hand, powder coefficient e was obtained in four elements such as reactive energy, ballistic mortar test, VOD, Langefors'strength per unit weight. e value for emulsion which is one of the representative explosives was found to be 1 while those of high performance emulsion and ANFO were found to be 0.9 and 1, respectively.
