"EXPLOSIVE"
The following st~iternent is a full dle-;ription of this invention, including the best method of performing it kno)Wn to *NWite: The descripjtion, Is to be typed In double spacing, pica type face, in in area not exceeding 250 mm In Oepth and 160 mm In W~dlh, on tough white paper of good qualit and it Is to be Inserted Inside this form.
11710/76- L C. 1, T~iowwsON Conimon'-calth Government Printer, Canberra I, I-2- THIS INVENTION relates to an explosive. It relates in particular to the manu"acture of an emulsion explosive comprising a discontinuous phase which forms an oxidizing salt-containing component and a continuous phase which is immiscible with the discontinuous phase and which forms a fuel component.
Such explosives, when the oxidizing salt-containing comporr t contains iwater and is in the form of an aqueous solution, are known as 'water-in-fuel' emulsion3, and when the oxidizing salt component S Icontains little or no water, they can be regarded as 'melt-in-fuel' emulsions.
According to the invention, in the manufacture of an emulsion explosive comprising a discontinuous phase which forms an oxidizing salt-containing component and a continuous phase which is immiscible Swith the discontinuous phase and which forms a fuel component, there is provided a method of thickening or increasing the viscosity of the emulsion which comprises dispersing insoluble particulate bentonite in at least one of the components of the emulsion.
The bentonite may be added to the emulsion fonred after admixture of said components, in a proportion of from about 1,0 to about by mass -3basec on the emulsion mass. The Applicant has found that the bentonite is thereby dispersed through the emulsion without dissolving in either of the components, and without causing crystallization.
The bentonite may be swellable sodium bentonite which is composed largely of the mineral montmorillonite. It may be of the so-called USA tight-spec type having a degree of dry particle fineness as follows: by mass minimum finer than US Sieve No. 40 and 10% by mass maximum finer than US Sieve No 200. In other words, at least 90% by mass of the bentonite particles may have a particle size less than 425 microns and at most 10% by mass of the bentonite particles may have a particle size less than 75 microns. Tb average particle size of the bentonite particles may be from about 75 microns to about 425 microns, preferably from about 75 microns to about 350 microns.
The sodium bentonite may be that which is conmmercially available in powder form under the trade name DM-80 VOLCLAY WESTERN BENTONITE-13T from The American Colloid Company, and which has a water content of between 5 and 10% by mass, a dry particle fineness of 10% by mass ma,ximum retained on US Sieve No. 40 and 10% by mass maximum passing US Sieve No. 200, and a wet particle fineness of at least 94% by mass being finer than US Sieve No. 200 and at least 92% by wrass being finer than US Sieve No. 325.
The bentonite may be dispersed in the emulsion by admixture of the powder with the emulsion in a low shear blender.
The discontinuous phase may comprise at least one oxidizing salt selected from the group consisting of ammonium nitrate, alkali metal
I
-4nitrate, alkaline earth metal nitrates, ammonium perchlorate, alkali metal perchlorates, and alkaline earth metal perchlorates.
The discontinuous phase may comprise ammonium nitrate with at least one further compound selected from the group consisting of oxygen-releasing salts and secondary fuels which, together with the ammonium nitrate, forms a melt which has a melting point which is lower than that of the ammonium i 10 nitrate. Said further compound may be sodium Snitrate, calcium nitrate, urea, urea derivatives such as thiourea, or the like. The discontinuous phase may in certain cases comprise water, w.ich is S* kept to a minimum to avoid wasted energy arising 15 from steam generation, but which is employed to U facilitate melting/dissolving of the oxidizing salt component to avoid excessive high processing temperatures during formation of the base emulsion.
Typically, the optional secondary fuel component of the discontinuous phase may comprise S.any water miscible fuel known in the art. Typical S* secondary fuels include alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and decanol.
The continuous fuel component of the emulsion i 25 may form from 2 to 25% by mass of the emulsion, preferably about 3 to 12% by mass.
The fuel of the continuous fuel component i, will be immiscible with and insoluble in water.
SPreferably, the fuel of the fuel component is F 30 non-self-explosive and is selected from at least one member of the group consisting of hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons and nitrated hydrocarbons.
Typically, said fuel comprises at least one wax selected from the group conssiting of paraffin waxes, microcrystalline waxes and slack waxes, and it may comprise at least one member of the group consisting of mineral oils, fuel oils, lubricating 5 oils, liquid paraffin, xylene, toluene, petrolatum and dinitrotoluene. The continuous fuel may comprise an emulsi,',er or a mixture of suitable emulsifiers. The continuous fuel component may thus comprise at least one emulsifier selected from the group consisting of sorbitan sesquioleate, sorbitan monooleate, sorbitan monopalmitate, sodium monostearate, sodium tristearate,.the mono- and diglycerides of fat-forming fatty acids, soya bean lecithin, derivatives of lanolin, alkyl benzene sulphonates, oleyl acid phosphate, laurylamine acetate, decaglycerol decaoleate, decaglycerol decastearate, 2-oleyl-4,4'-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2oxazoline, polymeric emulsifiers containing polyethylene glycol backbones with fatty acid side chains and derivatives of polyisobutylene succinic anhydride.
The emulsifiers act as surfactants and stabilizers to promote the formation of the emulsion S 20 and to resist crystallization and/or coalescence of the discontinuous phase.
The method may include the step of dispersing a density-reducing agent in the emulsion to form an emulsion having a density of form 1,10 to 1,15 g/cm 3 at 25 C. The density-reducing agent may be selected from the group consisting of microballoons, microspheres and gas bubbles. In one embodiment, the eventual emulsion may thus include glass microballoons, microspheres of polymeric material or another form of density-reducing agent, to provide the emulsion with the final density of 1,10 to 1,15 3 o g/cm at 25 C. The emulsion may then comprise up to about 10% by mass of glass microballoons (eg C15/250 glass microballoons available from 3M South Africa (Pty) Limited) or microspheres of a polymeric material (eg EXPANCEL 642 DE microspheres available from KemaNord AB, Sweden), which -6can further act to sensitize the explosive. Although the mass of miroballoons or microspheres included may be up to 10%, it is preferably less than 4,5% by mass, based on'the mass of the emulsion to which they are added. In another embodiment, the density-reducing agent may comprise air bubbles in the emulsion. The bubbles can then be mechanically induced eg by physical mixing or blowing, and/or chemically induced, eg by a chemical foaming agent such as sodium nitrite added to the emulsion.
The invention extends to an emulsion explosive whenever manufactured according to the method described above.
The invention will now be described by way of example, with reference to the following non-limiting Examples.

The paraffin wax was Aristo (trade name) wax obtained from Sasol Chemicals (Proprietary) Limited, and the microcrystalline wax was BE SQUARE Amber 175 (trade name) obtained from Bareco Inc. USA. The microballoons were 3M B23/500 (trade name) glass microballoons obtained from 3M South Africa (Proprietary) Limited. The bentonite was MX-80 VOLCLAY WESTERN BENTONITE-13T (trade name) obtained from American Colloid Company, and typically having the following chemical analysis: SiO 2 60,0-62,0% m/m; A1 2 0 3 21,0-23,0% m/m; Fe 2 0 3 3,0-4,0% m/m; MgO 2,0-3,0% m/m; Na 2 0 2,0-3,0% m/m; CaO 0,1-0,7% m/m; K20 0,4-0,5% m/m; and having a pH value of 8,5-10,0.
S* The amount of water given includes the water used to make up the sodium S nitrite solution.
The emulsion explosives were prepared by forming a premix of water, ammonium nitrate, sodium nitrate, and thiourea at about 80 to 90 0 C, and a second premix of the microcrystalline wax, paraffin wax, P95 oil and Crill 4 at about 70 to 80°C. The first premix was then slowly added to the second premix with agitation to form a base emulsion. The bentonite was thereafter admixed with the base emulsion in a low shear blender for about 1 minute to provide a thickened emulsion. Samples 1 and 2 were prepared by respectively dispersing the sodium nitrite or the microballoons in the base emulsion in a blender at normal elevated working temperatures, followed by cartridging and rapid cooling.
Comparative samples, identical to Samples 1 and 2 save that they did not contain bentonite, were also made up.

S. C C C C *5 'L -11- -11- Without wishing to be bound by theory, the Applicant believes that the desired increase in viscosity on addition of bentonite to emulsion explosives is obtained by the bentonite acting on components such as the wax on cooling, thereby causing swelling of these components (indicating modification of the crystal structure thereof) and hence thickening of the emulsion.
The increased emulsion viscosity provides advantages such as higher degree of gas or air bubble retention and hence longer shelf life.
The addition of bentonite to emulsion explosives causes an increase in rigidity at all temperatures, but the resistance to softening at high temperatures is increased considerably, as seen from the viscosity (see Table II) and cone penetration values (see Table I).
