LIQUID OXYGEN BEING
USED FOR BLASTING WORK

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The
use of liquid oxygen as an excellent
and cheap explosive in salt, metal
and other non-gaseous mines and
in quarry and other outside blasting
is recommended by the United
States Bureau of Mines after a series
of tests. Preliminary experiments
in this novel explosive, conducted at
the bureaus experimental station at
Pittsburgh indicate that It may be
used to advantage where dusts and
gases are not present, but is espe-
cially useful elsewhere In l%essening
the cost of blasting.
While liquid oxygen has not been
used in this country so far for this
purpose, it is already widely used in
Mexican mines: has been employed
in large quantities In the Upper Sile-
sian mines of Germany since the war
and has been adapted to tunnel work
iron mining, subway and excavation
work in cities in that country. 1t
was used not only in Germany but in
the French iron mines of Lorraine
after the German seizure, and APP
piled by them also to the destruction
of French steel plants. French Of
icials of the Briey iron district be-
lieve the explosive has come to stay,
and the bureau is conducting nego-
tiations with Alaskan companies for
its adoption there.
An advantage is that 1t can be pre-
pared on the job at low cost after the
erection of COMPRISING plants which
will make It of special value in
Alaska. AS liquid oxygen can be
made at the place of consumption,
dangers common to the t%ransporta-
ton Of other explosives can be done
away with. Low production cost,
lessening the cost per unit of ma
terial blasted, Is another advantage.
In the use of liquid oxygen explo-
sives there is practically no danger
of premature ignition, it was found.
The danger of misfires, too. is elm
mated by a wait of 80 or 40 min
utes after the fuse is lighted. when
practically all of the danger of nnox
ploded sticks in shoveling and sub
sequent handling of coal or ore going
out of the mine. Other sources OF
danger avoided are the handling and
thawing processes such as are neces-
cary with frozen dynamite, and the
hazard from lightning or fire when
stored.
But there are certain disadvantage
in the use of this explosive, the
bureau says. Because of its rapid
evaporation, liquid oxygen must be
used quickly and within a definite
time after the hole is charged, thus
limiting the number of holes that
can be fired simultaneously, although
in Germany as many as % have been
fired at nee Its use virtually re-
quires the installation of a liquid
ating plant at considerable first cost,
and this plant must be kept running
regularly to obtain low cost explo-
sive. as the main cost is in the
power used.
That the power of liquid oxygen
an explosive is ~favorably compar-
able with other explosives Is shown
in the fact that 100000 pounds of
oxygen are equal to 5000, 900
pounds of dynamite.
One of the interesting features of
the high development of this explo-
sive in Germany has been the de-
of small portable liquid
oxygen making plants to produce
three liters In hour. Such plants
been constructed to move about
on trucks. making the material much
more available for small operators.
