715· Adoption of wet drilling or dust filtering in drilling at source Use of bulldozer ripper as an alternative to drilling and blasting Use of hydraulic hammer/rock breaker for secondary blasting Application of recent development in blasting technology. These cleaner technologies for Indian limestone mines are discussed here in detail.
Overall, effective drilling and blasting practices in limestone mining are essential for economic viability, operational efficiency, and environmental stewardship. Continual advancements in technology and blast design methodologies further enhance these benefits, making the …
blasting, process of reducing a solid body, such as rock, to fragments by using an explosive. Conventional blasting operations include (1) drilling holes, (2) placing a charge and detonator in each hole, (3) detonating the charge, and (4) clearing away the broken material.
20241221· Drilling- Drilling in limestone is a common process in construction, mining, and quarrying industries. Limestone, being a …
A 60 meters thickness outcropped medium-hard limestone is being extracted for the use in Alrashadiyah cement plant-Lafarge-Jordan. Several benches each of 10meters high have been designed for this purpose. Thin layers of clay and shale interact with limestone beds. The company have to drill and blast the limestone beds for subsequent operations.
Then, through the process of drilling, the rocks are broken. Overburden or large rocks that are difficult to break through drilling are removed by explosives to extract the limestone.
