Optimization of blasting parameters in opencast mine with …
Blasting has been one of the most important contributors of mining since the start of mineral extraction and excavation. Along with fragmentation of the rocks, blasting also produces an excess of energy in the form of heat and vibration. Due to the spread of the vibration, the surrounding environment gets affected. Therefore, this paper …
