The verification of the blasting parameters of Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil (ANFO) with the
addition of microstructured charcoal (MC) produced by destructive wood distillation was …

In the presented research, we investigated Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil (ANFO), with the
addition of variously modified zeolite Y as an attractive explosive. Analysis of both blasting …

The admissible concentrations of toxic fumes, which appear after blasting works in open pits
and underground mine excavations, are presented in this paper. Fumes were examined …

Regarding the current state of the art on the utilization of zeolites in industry, the application
of zeolites as an additive to eco-friendly energetic materials indicates the innovative …

Global economic development and the associated increase in consumption increase the
demand for plastics. The result of these changes is the increase in the share of this group of …

Ammonium nitrate (AN) is a strong oxidizer that undergoes phase transitions and thermal
decomposition at relatively low temperatures. This—as verified by historical facts …

On 2 October 2003 in Saint-Romain-en-Jarez (France) a fire in a farm building triggered an
