A device containing a small amount of explosive, a signal transmitter and in some cases a timing mechanism, usually enclosed in a cylindrical metal shell. It is used to initiate less sensitive or secondary explosives. Modern blasting relies on detonators for the safe and precise control of explosive energy release to achieve desired blast outcomes.

Wilkie Creek mine is located in the Surat Basin of south-east Queensland. Mining commenced in 1994, with Peabody acquiring the operation in 2005. Current production rate is 2.3 million tonnes of thermal coal. The open-cut operation utilises excavators, loaders, dozers and trucks to mine the coal. Product coal is then railed 250 kilometres to ...

Blasting has been one of the most important contributors of mining since the start of mineral extraction and excavation. Along with fragmentation of the rocks, blasting also produces an excess of energy in the form of heat and vibration. Due to the spread of the vibration, the surrounding environment gets affected. Therefore, this paper …

Rock benches at the top of the blast-casting area are divided horizontally. The coal seam in the second mining districts inclines from North to South with the dip angle increasing. As a result, the bench height for the blast-casting technique ranges from 35 m to 50 m with the width of the blasting area being 85 m.
