Explosives liquid oxygen

Oxyliquit. There is some confusion regarding this term it is sometimes applied to liquid air explosives and sometimes to liquid oxygen explosives. However, there is no doubt that it was applied to liquid air explosives prior to the appearance of commercial liquid oxygen... [Pg.465]

In conclusion, it may be said that, if the original term Oxyliqnit was applied to liquid air explosives , it might be well to leave it so, especially as Liquid Oxygen Explosives have been given the... [Pg.465]

A type of explosive, not based on nitroglycerine or on TNT, which achieved popularity for a time and is still used in some countries, is the liquid oxygen explosive or LOX. This is made on the site of the blasting operations by immersing in liquid oxygen a pre-formed cartridge of absorbent charcoal. Charcoal saturated with a suitable proportion of... [Pg.59]

Liquid Air and Liquid Oxygen Explosives, such as Oxyliquit or LOX have been used in high mountain hydroelectric works by the Ital Corps of Engineers (Genio Militare) (Ref 15, p 38 ... [Pg.406]

Liquid Air and Liquid Oxygen Explosives originally consisted of porous combustible materials impregnated with liquid air. Soon after liq oxygen became commercially available it began to replace liq air in these explosives. Consequently this article is devoted almost entirely to Liquid Oxygen Explosives commonly called LOX. It should be noted that LOX are not to be confused with Fuel-Air Explosives (See FAE in Vol 6, p F3). [Pg.577]

A liquid explosive, as the term implies, is an expl substance that is liq at ambient temp. Liquid Explosives (LE) can be pure compounds or mixts of miscible compounds, including aqueous solutions. Expls containing a mixt of liq and solid phases, eg, the so-called Slurry Explosives, as well as Liquid Oxygen Explosives (LOX), are described in separate articles... [Pg.584]

Liquid oxygen explosives are used in this country for open-cut mining or strip mining, not underground, and are generally prepared near the place where they are to be used. The cartridges are commonly left in the soaking box for 30 minutes, and on occasions have been transported in this box for several miles. [Pg.357]
