Synopsis
The Use of Permissible Explosives in the Coal Mines of Illinois reveals safer blasting that saves lives and money. This report explains how Illinois mines moved from black blasting powder to safer, permissible explosives and what that switch means for miners and operators.
The book covers the development and practical use of permissible explosives in Illinois, illustrating how safety and efficiency improved alongside a reduction in explosives cost per ton of coal. It also describes handling, storage, and delivery systems, along with methods for priming, tamping, and firing shots.
- How permissible explosives differ from traditional black powder and why the change matters for safety
- Practical blasting methods, including primer preparation, detonators, and fuse handling
- Cost considerations and their relation to tonnage mined and coal sizes produced
- Measures to reduce misfires and mine fires while maintaining efficiency
Ideal for readers of mining engineering and safety-focused professionals who want clear, actionable guidance on modern blasting practices in coal mines.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book traces the development and implementation of permissible explosives within the coal mines of Illinois. The author, an expert in mining safety, analyzes how the introduction of these 'short-flame' explosives, primarily used between 1908 and 1915, dramatically improved safety standards within the state's mining industry. The book explores the devastating impact of traditional explosives, namely their tendency to ignite coal dust and methane gas, the efforts made to decrease the risks associated with their use, and the development of 'permissible' explosives to reduce the incidence of explosions. The author goes into detail about the advantages and disadvantages of permissible explosives, and their impact on the miners' work, and the overall safety of coal mining in Illinois. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
