Non-explosive Rock Breaking Technologies for Safe and Continuous Mining K.K.Kabongo Key words：Mining Consultant，Yonke Services (Pty) Limited，31 Impala Road Chislehurston，Sandton，Johannesburg，RSA ABSTRACT：Several mines in South Africa (SA),like in many other parts of the world, use drill and blast as means of rock breaking for ore extraction. Despite cost effectiveness high explosive mining does not guarantee optimal total mining costs.Its low energy efficiencies and the hazardous nature of blasting, i.e. poor safety records especially in deep mines, create a need for intensive reseach and development into safer and more productive technologies. Surely mechanised mining is the ultimate option. Many attempts to use heavy machines in narrow vein deposits at great depths have however resulted in disappointment. Over the last three years, the quest for nonexplosives breaking technologies has gained momentum. The industry is desperately looking for a face saving system to uplife productivity , ensure safe mining underground, prevent and damaged-control the impact of the devastating HIV/AIDS on the future of mining. Propellant based non-explosive rock breaking is positioning itself so as to capture the opinion in the industry. It is considered a midway between cheaper but life-threatening explosives and the capital intensive and uncompromising mechanised mining. Many non-explosive products being trailed in the industry: Swartklip抯 Boulder , Rocksplitter, Brandrill抯 Penetration Cone Fracture (PCF),NXCO抯 Nonex and Altex抯 Safex to name a few . All these systems have unique merits and they all claim different leve. pols of success in breaking rock under varying conditions, however they all lack the Herculean power (Cunningham 2002), 搕he oomph?to properly clean out the rock burdens consistently to the satisfaction of the industry . Fundamentally these systems appear to lack in containing the blast gas energies in the rock to mature burden fracturing. Rockdusters and Conmin 1
