Annual Proceedings of the Safety Seminars, Dept, of Defense, Explosive Safety Board, Washington, D.C. International symposia on explosives and closely related subjects are excellent sources of information, ie, international symposia on detonation symposia on combustion symposia on chemical problems connected with the stabiUty of explosives international pyrotechnics seminars symposia on compatibiUty of plastics and other materials with explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics, and processing of explosives, propellants, and ingredients and symposia on explosives and pyrotechnics Mineral Industy Surveys, U.S. Bureau of Mines, Pittsburgh, Pa. Periodic pubhcations dedicated primarily to explosive studies in Propellants and Explosives Journal of Ha yardous Materials, and apparent consumption of industrial explosives and blasting agents in the United States. 

A similar technique to the Bureau of Mines trommel process called pellet flocculation has been used in Japan on a number of substrates on an industrial scale (47) using equipment made by the Ebara-Infilco Co. Combinations of inorganic salts such as lime with polyacrylamides are used as flocculants.

An annual review of germanium is pubUshed by the U.S. Bureau of Mines (40) and a broader survey is pubUshed every five years (41). The Engineering and Mining Journal also pubhshed an annual germanium review through 1986 (42). The economics of germanium, with special emphasis on world trade, have been reviewed (43).

There are, however, a variety of other sources of methane that have been considered for fuel supply. Eor example, methane present in coal (qv) deposits and formed during mining operations can form explosive mixtures known as fire damp. In Western Europe, some methane has been recovered by suction from bore holes drilled in coal beds and the U.S. Bureau of Mines has tested the economic practicaUty of such a system. Removal of methane prior to mining the coal would reduce explosion ha2ards associated with coal removal. As much as 11.3 x 10 (400 trillion (10 ) cubic feet or 400 TCE) of... 

Not considering the former USSR, world production of iodine was ca 13,500 metric tons in 1992. Japan provided about 45% of the world total, compared to 44% from Chile and 11% from the United States. An annual output of 2300 t from 1976 to 1979 was estimated by the U.S. Bureau of Mines (66) but was revised to 2000 tons in 1981. No official data are available for the former USSR where iodine production is reported to be produced from iodine—bromine brines. Two areas have been mentioned the Neftechalinki field in the Slavianski-Triotskoe area near the Black Sea, and a plant in the Baku area in Azerbaidzhan on the Caspian Sea where ca 1400 metric tons was estimated for 1990 production.
