The invention relates to a waterproof rock expanded
ammonium nitrate explosive and a process for preparing the same. The
ammonium nitrate explosive consists of 90 to 94 percent of
nitrate oxidizing agent, 3 to 5 percent of combustible agent and 3 to 5 percent of composite
oil phase, wherein the composite
oil phase consists of 10 to 62.5 percent of explosive special
grease, 32.5 to 80 percent of special agent and 5 to 15 percent of surface-
active agent. The process comprises the following steps that the nitrate
oxidizing agent and water are mixed to form water phase so as to be made into expanded
ammonium nitrate through
crystallization and expansion; the explosive special
grease and the special agent are fully molten and mixed, and then added with the surface-
active agent to be mixed so as to form the composite
oil phase; then, the expanded
ammonium nitrate, the composite oil phase obtained in the previous steps and the dry combustible agent are mixed evenly, thereby obtaining the
ammonium nitrate explosive. The process not only forms a tight firm
oil film coating on the surface of the expanded
ammonium nitrate, but also turns the hydrophilic surface of an expanded ammonium nitrate
solid into a hydrophobic surface, thereby obtaining the effects of no
moisture absorption in a humid environment and slower
moisture absorption in a watered environment; moreover, the waterproof rock expanded ammonium nitrate explosive is nonlumping and has excellent free-running property.
