Currently, the undisputed leader of the destruction of solid rock in the development of mineral deposits as open and underground drilling and blasting is the way. The main disadvantage of this method is a seismic impact of the explosion on the rock, a violation of their continuity, the development of cracks and weakening of the array. The most acute when it affects mining gems and kristallosyrya, block materials, delineating mining. Application nizkobrizantnyh explosive rounds and charges of special designs can reduce the dynamic impact on okoloshpurovuyu area, but their use leads to higher costs for demolition and in some cases does not provide the desired outcomes. For example, the extraction of a block of stone losses reach 40% or more.
One possible solution to this problem is to use static methods of rock. There are currently many non-explosive methods of destruction, in particular, mechanical methods (wedge, gidroklinovoy, diamond rope sawing, drilling and stone cutting harvesters), methods based on the energy of the fluid (hydrodynamic, physico–chemical impulse break, hammer, waterjet cutting, flyuidorazryv) , thermal (termorezka), electrical and electromagnetic (blowing of electrical conductors, electrical breakdown, thermal breakdown, a high-frequency currents, melting, laser radiation, electromagnetic radiation), the combined methods. Most of these methods are under research and development work. Their industrial use is hampered by lack of equipment, low reliability, high energy, risk of human exposure, high cost. All these disadvantages forced to look for ways to create inexpensive and promising means of destruction solid rock.Starting from 1980 till now only in Japan has developed more than two dozen non-explosive destructive compounds for practical application in open and underground facilities [

–24), a limited operating temperature. At subzero temperatures dramatically reduces the efficiency of destruction by slowing the rate of hydration, and positive at high temperatures observed neprizvolnoe ejection of a mixture of LDCs in the holes caused by the sharp increase in the rate of hydration. The reason for the ejection of a mixture of the LDCs is the growth of holes vnutrishpurovogo vapor – gas pressure, rising sharply at the transition of chemically unbound water in the steam at a temperature exceeding the LDCs in the process of hydration, the temperature of boiling water.
Recently, the Donetsk National Technical University is working to expand the scope of the LDCs, in particular the use of temperature fields in underground mine workings. The main task is to reduce the time of destruction and exclusion of both the phenomenon of spontaneous emission of LDCs from the hole.
To solve this problem, the authors carried out comprehensive studies of the kinetics of samorasshireniya LDCs, based on calcium oxide (fig. 4).
The studies identified specific stages of the LDCs and their characteristics are given [

Analysis of the patent literature shows that the speed control of the hydration reaction is carried out by the addition of accelerators, retarders, and plasticizers. Adding accelerators are mainly recommended for the destruction of materials at low temperatures and their effect in most cases it boils down to an additional increase in temperature of the liquid mixture in the solution phase LDCs, due to the strong reaction of the accelerator ekzotermichekoy with calcium oxide. Adding moderators to produce a stabilization rate of hydration at high positive temperatures, thus preventing unintentional ejection of a mixture of holes, but the destruction of the materials increases. Effect of plasticizers generally is to improve the mobility of a mixture of LDCs.Literature shows that the speed control of the hydration reaction is carried out by the addition of accelerators, retarders, and plasticizers.

Thus, non-explosive destruction of the existing methods with the help of the LDCs to achieve reduction in the time of destruction of rocks in shpurovyh and large – diameter hole charges, while excluding "vyshpurivaniya" quite difficult. These solutions are currently in the world is not found. So far, studies on the kinetics of growth temperature in the borehole LDC charges have been conducted.
