Abstract:
A method for reducing ammonia and other gases from the detonation of explosives. A method in accordance with the invention comprises placing an ion exchange agent such as a natural occurring zeolite mineral like clinoptilolite around the blast area, over the top of the blast area, under the area receiving the blasted material, within the blast holes or chambers holding the explosives, in the water covering the blast area, over the top of the blasted material, mixed in the explosives and the like. The ammonia and various other gases exchange into the lattice of the ion exchange agent where they become insoluble. This creates a healthier work environment for workers and reduces environmental pollution.
