Harnessing CO2 Power for Safer Rock Blasting

The innovative CO2 blasting method is a safer and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional dynamite. Utilizing pipes filled with liquid carbon dioxide, the process generates immense pressure to fracture rocks effectively. Upon activation, the CO2 heats and expands rapidly to approximately 600 MPa, breaking a rupture disc and releasing the energy needed for rock excavation. This method minimizes fire hazards, reduces environmental risks, and offers a controlled and efficient solution for mining, construction, and other industries.
