- Mining explosives based on ammonium nitrate(V) are safe and effective, however, the risk of NOx fume production during blasting is still present. In 2013, a project to eliminate NOx fumes from blasting began and hydrogen peroxide was chosen to replace ammonium nitrate(V) as the oxidiser. Previous work in this area demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide/fuel-based mixtures were able to detonate, provided that they are initiated under a situation of high confinement and also using hydrogen peroxide at relatively high concentrations. In contrast, a comprehensive study was conducted to determine the detonation properties of hydrogen peroxide/fuel-based mixtures that used hydrogen peroxide at lower concentrations (below 50 wt.%), detonated in unconfined conditions and used void sensitisation to achieve an efficient detonation reaction. This article presents the results of the influence of the density, water content, critical diameter and type of void sensitisation on the velocity of detonation (VOD) of hydrogen peroxide/ fuel-based explosive mixtures. The results indicate that the mixtures can achieve a different VOD which depends on the size of the sensitising voids and more importantly, the mixtures behave as non-ideal explosive, similarly to ammonium nitrate-based explosives, but with the advantage of being a NOx-free explosive.
