DYNOMIX™ WR

DYNOMIX WR es un explosivo pre mezclado, granulado, con resistencia al agua limitada, que utiliza una mezcla especial de ingredientes para revestir la superficie de los gránulos ANFO. Ese revestimiento ayuda a bloquear la penetración de agua y permite la detonación en barrenos humedos. En algunas situaciones, DYNOMIX WR puede llenar el espacio entre el ANFO regular y los explosivos empaquetados, y está disponible en sacos de varios tipos y tamaños.

Blast Design Changes to Accommodate Poor Geology
Document type: EEG Guide
Categories: Explosive Engineers Guide, Asia Pacific

This Granite Quarry in the Carolinas had poor geology, resulting in excessive back-break and requiring either paired holes, reduced front row spacing or angle holes and was further complicated by neighboring homes within 750 fee of the shot area. Previous shots were resulting in concerns from neighbors and peak particle velocity values approaching the NC DNR limit. After the changes made by DynoConsult seismic results were excellent, with a significant reduction in recorded peak particle velocity and all channels showing a frequency spectra about 70 Hz. Back-break was reduced and the overall breakage was good. No complaints were received on this blast.

Dyno Nobel’s trial at Sunrise Dam set out to measure the practical superiority of the HotShot® electronic detonator system over the existing NONEL® shocktube system. AngloGold Ashanti’s Engineering and Geology Department selected sites of consistent geology. The blast results were recorded using video footage, vibration monitoring throughout the mine, spot heights of muck-pile swell to provide heave profile graphs and PITRAM data.

Instead of looking at each sub process as a separate cost centre, DynoConsult, the consulting arm of Dyno Nobel, looks at the whole operation and provides solutions to improve overall productivity.

Improved blasting practices and milling solutions have shown potential to boost grinding circuit efficiency at the Porgera Joint Venture (PJV) gold mine in the Papuan Highlands.

Approximately 15% increase in Sag mill throughput was recognized during the field trials of Mine-to-Mill optimization project lead by DynoConsult.

TITAN® XL for Wet Blasting Conditions
Document type: EEG Guide
Categories: Explosive Engineers Guide, Asia Pacific

TITAN® XL emulsion was utilized as a water resistant product that could be chemically gassed to various lower densities. Instead of the 1.30 gm/cc density of the 50/50 blend, TITAN XL was brought down to 1.10 gm/cc. The product is pumped through a hose placed in the hole. This eliminates the need to de-water the boreholes.

DynoConsult®, BOT Process Helps Iron Ore Producer Reduce Blasting Costs
Document type: EEG Guide
Categories: Explosive Engineers Guide, Asia Pacific

Blasting is one of the least expensive, yet most critical aspects of the overall mining cycle. To gain a better understanding of production costs and to develop a continuing improvement process, DynoConsult assisted in the development of a Six Sigma® team that utilized the Dyno Nobel Blast Optimization Team (BOT) process.

Using DynoConsult blast auditing tools, areas targeted for improvement were identified. Using the Six Sigma® methodology, processes were put into place to measure and analyze various segments of the drill/blast cycle.

The BOT program implemented key changes and tracked results to insure gains were identified and maintained.

Hole Depth = (bench Height + subdrill) / hole Angle

Column Height = hole Depth – Stemming

Imperial:

lb/cyd = (explosive Diameter 2 * explosiveDensity * 0.3405 * columnHeight)) / (benchHeight * burden * spacing / 27)

tons/lb = ((benchHeight * burden * spacing / 27) * specificGravity) / (explosive Diameter 2 * explosiveDensity * 0.3405 * columnHeight)

lb/tons = lb/cyd / Specific Gravity

Metric:

Kg/cu m = (explosive Diameter 2 * explosiveDensity * 0.7854 * column Height / 1000) / (bench Height * burden * spacing)

T/Kg = ((bench Height * burden * spacing) * specific Gravity) / (explosive Diameter 2 * explosive Density * 0.7854 * column Height / 1000)

Dyno Nobel Improves Blasting Practices at Ridgeway
Document type: EEG Guide
Categories: Explosive Engineers Guide, Asia Pacific

Dyno Nobel has modified the pre-charging practices at Ridgeway Gold Mine to deliver enhanced safety, reliability and blast outcomes.

With production drill and blast practices critical to the success of the sublevel caving operation at Ridgeway, underground sublevel caving production ring pre-charging was introduced in 2001.

When Dyno Nobel started work on site, pre-charging practices required up to two rings to be loaded ahead of the ring to be blasted in each drawpoint.

The explosive sometimes remained in the up-holes for four weeks or more prior to blasting. During this ‘sleep’ time, it was subjected to repeated shock from the blasting of adjacent rings.

Working with Ridgeway staff, Dyno Nobel successfully resolved explosive performance problems in the pre-charging environment by introducing some very simple measures.
Extensive testing allowed Dyno Nobel to determine the most appropriate loading and sleep time criteria for the mine’s pre-charging practices and improved the safety and efficiency of the operation.
