Method of stabilizing an emulsion explosive comprising an oxidant, a fuel, and an emulsifier the molecules of which have at least one double-binding. The oxidant is emulsified in the fuel in the presence of the emulsifier, and a polymerizing reaction is effected after the emulsification to bind the molecules of the emulsifier chemically to each other.

Method of stabilizing emulsion explosives

A storage stable aqueous pulverized-coal dispersion can be pumped and can be burned by conventional techniques. The dispersion comprises stabilizing additives and a coal content which ranges from 60 to 80% by weight. The additives include a combination of (a) sufficient lecithin adsorbed on surfaces of coal particles to provide repulsion between the coal particles by hydration forces and (b) polymer cooperating with the lecithin and comprising at least one polymer having segments of hydrophobic as well as segments of hydrophilic character.
