Empirical Validation of the Use of Recycled Lubricant Oils to Make High Energy ANFO Type Blasting Agents

Implementing Organization

Central Institute of Mining and Fuel Research (CIMFR)

About

ANFRO product i.e. use of Ammonium nitrate (AN) and recycled lubricant oil (RLO's) with Fuel (diesel) oil in appropriate mixture as developed will be used in all the open pit mines of India. The cement industries, stone quarries owners and companies dealing in civil infrastructure will be more beneficial by using the developed product.

Outcome / Output

Reduced ~50% of the overall cost of the explosive used for the blasting operations, Most importantly, with this developed product, hazardous environmental pollutant material i.e. waste lubricant oil was successfully recycled in a form of commercially significant renewable energy sources in aeco-sustainable manner, With the use of the developed product, overall consumption of an important and limited fuel (i.e. diesel oil) can be significantly reduced, which is extremely beneficial for future of our society.
