The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of an emulsion explosive of the water-in-fuel type having as its discontinuous phase an oxidizing salt-containing component and as its continuous phase a fuel component which is immiscible with the discontinuous phase. In accordance with the method, the explosive is sensitized to detonation by admixing and dispersing in the emulsion a finely divided particulate metal and an acid, the metal and acid being selected to react together in the emulsion to produce gas bubbles therein. |
