At the Haerwusu open-pit coal mine in the city of Ordos, Zhunneng Group successfully loosened rocks using blasts from a novel coal-based nano-carbon hydrogen explosive.

The blasting once again confirmed the excellent performance of the new coal-based nano-carbon hydrogen explosive product and marked the official start of the industrial application of this new explosive at the Haerwusu coal mine.

The blasting had a total volume of about 80,000 cubic meters and was divided into two areas in order to better compare blasting effects.

After blasting, the rock blocks in the blasted area of the new coal-based nano-carbon hydrogen explosive were smaller and more uniform, with good blasting indicators such as pile shape and settlement, making mining and loading easier.

In contrast, the rock blocks in the ammonium oil explosive blasting area were uneven, and there were large blocks in some areas with little pile settlement.

Not only are the blasting effects superior, but the new coal-based nano-carbon hydrogen explosive also outperforms ammonium oil explosives in terms of economy and functionality.

The explosive is composed of 89 percent ammonium nitrate, 2 percent diesel, and 9 percent coal-based nano-carbon hydrogen fuel. It reduces the amount of explosives used by 31 percent compared to traditional ammonium oil explosives.
