Starting in 1992, the Romanian mining industry underwent a restructuring process, which involved the closure of a significant number of mining perimeters. Without conducting a critical analysis of the causes that led to this extensive action and its resulting effects, it can be considered that some mining units, whose minimum geological reserves ensure exploitation for at least 10 years, could have real prospects for promoting solutions that guarantee economic efficiency, at least at the national level. In support...

Explosives are used in a wide range of industrial, military and civil applications, and their behavior under extreme temperature conditions is a key aspect for safety and reliability. The present study analyzes the influence of extreme temperatures on the stability and reactivity of explosive materials, highlighting the critical factors that can lead to degradation, changes in sensitivity or accidental triggering. In the research, experimental methods and numerical modeling were used to evaluate the thermal behavi...

This study presents a comparative analysis of the performance of three gas measurement devices used to detect toxic gases generated by the detonation of ANFO explosive. The study was conducted following the operational procedure PI-102, which complies with the requirements of the SR EN 13631-16:2005 standard for detecting and measuring toxic gases produced by explosions. The aim was to evaluate the accuracy, reliability, and consistency of the devices in monitoring key toxic gases released during detonation. The e...
