Method of controlling density in gas-sensitized aqueous explosives
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6142972
The sensitization of an aqueous explosive is described by homogeneously mixing a gas into an explosive stream in a mixing zone. The components of the explosive are intermixed to form a continuous stream, one of the components being a gas-retaining component. The portion of the stream containing the gas-retaining component is passed through a mixing zone across which there is a pressure drop of at least 5 psi. The gas added to the mixing zone and is homogeneously dispersed into the stream. (14 claims)
