Description
Composite Propellant and Cartridge Incorporating Same
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a composite propellant, particularly, though not exclusively, for breaking and fracturing hard materials and, to a cartridge incorporating said composite propellant.
Background of the Invention
Many types of energetic substances are currently used in rrining and civil construction for the purposes of blasting or fragmenting hard materials such as rock and concrete. The expression "energetic substance" is intended to cover both explosives and propellants.
The difference between an explosive and a propellant is functional rather than fundamental. Explosives are intended to be functioned by detonation following shock initiation. Propellants on the other hand are intended to burn (ie deflagrate) steadily at a rate determined by designed pressure of their environment, e.g. a rocket, or a gun breach, and are ignited by a flame.
What type of energetic material is used in a particular instance is dependent on many factors including: the strength of the material to be fragmented; the location of the material to be fragmented; whether or not production of noxious gases and materials is of importance; the allowable seismic signature; the availability and cost of the energetic substance; and whether fragmentation is to occur in heavily populated, i.e. residential areas, where often governed authorities exclude the use of explosives in favour of propellants. Further, the conditions on the handling and transport of explosives is substantially more stringent than that for propellants. Thus while at times, a particular explosive may be preferred on technical grounds over a propellant for the purposes of fragmentation, regulations relating to the use and handling of explosives may prohibit their use.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an composite propellant having characteristics which enable classification as a propellant, and produce a sufficiently large volumes of gas to facilitate fracturing and breaking of hard materials.

Preferably said hot flame igniting means is a pyrotechnic chemical mixture including boron, calcium chromate, titanium, potassium perchlorate and dextrin.
An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to Figure 1.
Detailed Description of Preferred Embodiment
An embodiment of the composite propellant in accordance with the present invention includes a first proportion of an oxidising agent in the form of granules or prill where the granules or prill have a diameter in the range of 0.5mm to 4mm. Mixed with the oxidising agent is a second proportion of a propellant. The composite propellant is in the physical form of a particulate solid.
In order to control burn rate of the oxidising agent, particularly for breaking or fracturing of hard materials such as rock or concrete it has been found most advantageous if the granules or prill have a diameter in the range of 1mm to 3mm and a density in the range of 1.1 to 1 ,7g/cc and more preferably, a density in the range of 1.3 to 1.5g/cc.
A particularly well suited oxidising agent for this purpose is an inorganic nitrate such as ammonium nitrate (AN). AN is particularly advantageous due to its abundance of supply, low cost and high gas volume. However, it is envisaged that oxidising agents other than inorganic nitrates can be used. For example inorganic perchlorates, alkali metal perchlorates, heavy metal perchlorates, alkali metal permanganates and ammonium perchlorates.
. It is envisaged that the first proportion of the oxidising agent will constitute between 40 to 60% by weight of the composite propellant while the propellant constitutes between 60 to 40% by weight of the composite propellant. More advantageously, the oxidising agent constitutes between 40 to 50% by weight of the composite propellant while the propellant constitutes between 60 and 50% by weight of the composite propellant.
Specifically for underground application, where the production of toxic by-products is more critical than aboveground application, it is more advantageous for the oxidising agent to be present in a proportion of 45 to 49% by weight of the composite propellant with the propellant constituting between 55 to 51% by weight of the composite propellant.
A particularly advantageous propellant is double based propellant which comprises a combination of nitrocellulose (NC) and nitroglycerine (NG). The nitroglycerine is provided in a proportion of 26 to 36% by weight of the composite propellant with the NG constituting between 26 and 16% by weight of the composite propellant. A specific composite propellant in accordance with the present invention includes approximately 48% by weight oxidising agent (about 47% AN and about 1% potassium nitrate), 31% NC and 21% NG. The NG and NC act as an oxygen balancing fuel. Tests on this specific composite propellant show that the gas evolved comprises mainly N2, H20 (as steam) and CO2 , with very little production of carbon monoxide. Indeed specific test figures indicate the gas evolved to comprise around 24.5% by volume N2, 49.3% H20, 26% CO2 , and 0.4% CO.
Embodiments of the present composite propellant have been found to be surprisingly effective in fracturing and breaking hard materials such as rock and concrete. The propellant portion burns very rapidly providing a very rapid build up in gas pressure which initiates fracture of the hard material. The combustion of the AN is slower and burns at a lower temperature, and during this burning process consumes CO produced by the propellant. The gas produced by the burning of the AN, while produced at a lower rate, is provided in very high volume and assists in propagating the fractures initiated by the rapid build-up in pressure produced by the propellant. This, combined with the oxygen balanced characteristics render the present composite propellant extremely useful for underground application, particularly in continuous mining. Significantly embodiments of the composite propellant the have the essential characteristics of a propellant of deflagrating, as distinct from detonating. As such the composite propellent is not cap sensitive (ie does not require shock wave initiation, and associated detonators and/or boosters).
A cartridge 10 containing the composite propellant 12 is depicted in Figure 1. Here, the cartridge 10 comprises a cylindrical shell 14 made for a plastics materials having a closure disc 16 and 18 at opposite ends thereof. In order to initiate the burning of composite propellant 12, the cartridge 10 is also provided with a hot flame igniter 20 coupled to a
lead 22 passing through the closure disc 18. The lead 22 can be in the form of a shock tube. The hot flame igniter 20 produces a hot flame or shower of metal sparks to commence the burning of the propellant. To this end, a pyrotechnic chemical mixture including boron, calcium chromate, titanium, potassium perchlorate and dextrin (BTCK) is particularly useful.
The end caps 16 and 18 are coupled to the shell 14 in a manner which allows them to relatively easily "pop off' when the cartridge 14 is unconfined. This prevents the rapid build-up of pressure within the cartridge 14 when in an unconfined state, for example during transport for storage. In the event of initiation of the composite propellant 12 when the cartridge 10 is unconfined, the initial build-up of pressure will cause the caps 16 and 18 to pop off thereby creating a sharp decrease in pressure to the extent that the continued burning of the composite propellant 12 can not be sustained and in particular will not produce a rapid build-up of gas requirements.
It is believed that the cartridge 10 in accordance with embodiment of this invention meets the requirements of UN classification code 1.4S with a commensurate packaging and transportation freedom.
All modifications and variations to the invention that would be obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art are deemed to be within the scope of the present invention the nature of which is to be determined from the above description and the appended claims.
