On the Investigation of Microstructured Charcoal as an ANFO Blasting Enhancer

Energies, 2020
In this study, we examined the influence of microstructured charcoal (MC) when added to ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO) samples. We performed a study that investigated ANFOs structure, crystallinity, and morphology by utilizing infrared spectroscopy (IR)
