Funded Activity Summary

Novel technology to sensitise emulsion explosives. The project will develop a new technology for more efficient and safer extraction of minerals. It will extend the application of emulsion explosives to low-temperatures and will eliminate the heating of emulsion blasting agents during transport. Since mining operations are located in regional areas, the project will bring benefits to local and rural communities. The project will also generate new knowledge on the behaviour and stability of three-phase systems that contain very small gas bubbles. In addition to its fundamental importance, this knowledge can be carried over to food and cosmetic industries to facilitate the development of new products.
