Abstract Samples of ANFO and an explosive matrix were studied using IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy to compare their structure, morphology, along with topography. IR and SEM analyses of ANFO showed that ammonium nitrate used for the manufacturing of this type of explosive has the same structure but different morphology, which is dependent on provenance. The results of XRD, IR and SEM analyses for both tested samples of the emulsion explosive matrix have shown that its chemical composition has a major impact on their structure, morphology, and topography. The observed differences are due to the different composition of the dispersed phase and/or applied methodology during the preparation of the emulsion matrix.

矿用化肥炸药结构、形貌、形貌比较

摘要 使用红外光谱、X 射线衍射和扫描电子显微镜对 ANFO 和炸药基质样品进行了研究，以比较它们的结构、形态和形貌。ANFO 的 IR 和 SEM 分析表明，用于制造此类炸药的硝酸铵具有相同的结构但不同的形态，这取决于出处。两种乳化炸药基质测试样品的 XRD、IR 和 SEM 分析结果表明，其化学​​成分对其结构、形貌和形貌有重大影响。观察到的差异是由于分散相的不同组成和/或在制备乳液基质期间应用的方法。
