THE PAINFUL REMEMBRANCE OF THE BLACK DAY - DECEMBER 2, 1984 - THE BHOPAL GAS TRAGEDY Two of the painful incidents that brought untold miseries to millions of living creatures by the whimsical and overconfident acts of some crazy humans are: (i) the leakage of the poisonous methyl isocyanate gas from the pesticide making company Union Carbide in Bhopal in 1984, and (ii) the leakage of the killer polystyrene gas from the LG Polymer company in Visakhapatnam.  Yesterday these were caused by poisonous gases leaked from industries and those gases killed and maimed millions of living creatures. Tomorrow it can be nitrous fumes from explosives used in mining activities.  In this context, our effort is to manufacture nitrate-free explosives for mining. Nitrate-free explosives will reduce air pollution arising from oxides of nitrogen. Today is the day to read the booklet - 33 PAGES ON GREEN & ECO-FRIENDLY EXPLOSIVES FOR ROCK BLASTING.

  One of the widely used high-energy materials for rock blasting is ANFO. Its high gaseous energy and heat energy released upon detonation has made it one of the most preferred explosives by the blasting crews and mining industries. However, the rising costs of AN, and Diesel Oil are pinching the user mining industries to look for other explosives similar to ANFO. Thus some alternatives are either worked out or are in the process of working out. This video is on this subject. The derivatives of ANFO that have reached near success to cots and quality are HANFO, WRANFO, ANVO, and CANFO.

One of the curious researchers and user of ANFO asked a very interesting question. His question is - is it viable to replace AN with CAN in standard ANFO formulation? The second part of his question is - what is its impact on performance/Fuel (diesel) absorption in case of grinding CAN & Caking in storage? My responses to your queries are as follows Ammonium nitrate has its own different forms such as the AN, LDAN, HDAN, PPAN, UAN, CAN, and so on. Many different products are manufactured from these variants of AN. The newer products manufactured are available in the forms of ANFO, HANFO, and LDSME. Also there are products like ANVO where the fuel oil is vegetable oil. We shall discuss some of the aspects of the ANFO nad our discussion will restrict to the question or ruery raised by one of the curious and innovation mind. His question is – is CANFO as good as the ANFO. Let u see.   [1] ANFO is a straight jacket product. Any change in the input materials (AN and Fuel Oil) will make

 

The ship TITANIC did not sink because of any reason other than the hidden part of an iceberg. Hidden icebergs are present in every walks of life. These are better termed as HIDDEN COSTS. But the good part is that these hidden costs can be eliminated. This video is to communicate one of the many aspects of hidden costs in business processes.

  Whether it is the individual living beings or individual matters, the synergy always brings out the best and the most. In the language of chemistry, the synergy output of one plus one is always greater than one. In this context, we have discussed the emulsion products that are made using two different phases of two different materials. 

Maintaining specs of aluminium powder does not require additional cost by the manufacturers of aluminium powder, but shows a bit of casualness on the part of the suppliers. It is thus important to test the aluminium powder at the user level before its use in the production system. One of the hidden costs thus can be eliminated. Good material also is safe to use.  

 

 

  REPLACEMENT OF DIESEL OIL BY OTHER HYDROCARBON OILS is tricky because chemical formulae may deceit the Design of Experiments. It is not the oxygen factor alone that determines the manufacture of the ANFO. A wrong calculation may make the product go poor. #ANFO #roleoffueloilinANFO #replacementofdieselwithotherhydrocarbonoils #replacementofoilsinANFcouldbetricky #oxygenfactorofhydrocarb
