How Does CO₂ Blast Rock in Mining?

How Does CO₂ Blast Rock in Mining? 💥⛏️

Instead of using traditional explosives, some mines use CO₂ blasting. Workers drill a hole, insert a pressurized CO₂ cylinder, and ignite it.

🔥 The rapid release creates a powerful shockwave that fractures rock safely and precisely.
⚡ It’s cleaner, reduces flying debris, and lowers risks compared to conventional explosives.
⛏️ Plus, it helps maintain steady mining efficiency without compromising worker safety.
