Soviet Mining Aims and scope

Summary

  1. 1.

    An industrial-scale experiment confirmed that it is feasible to use aerated solutions when drilling blast holes in fractured rock by means of a BSSh-1M drill without a compressor.

  2. 2.

    Aerated solutions can be produced on the basis of the drilled-out rock when aerated water is fed in with 0.1% PO-1 surfactant added.

  3. 3.

    Aerated solutions prevent absorption of water in fractured rocks. When enough solution is fed in as washing agent, drilling fines are effectively removed, and the drilling speed goes up up by a factor of 1.5.

  4. 4.

    The use of aerated solutions offers great promise, provided that a method can be devised for trapping them at the borehole mouth for subsequent re-use.
