Abstract
A process and apparatus for preparing cap sensitive water-in-oil explosive emulsion compositions on a commercial basis is provided which includes mixing a hydrocarbon fuel component, an emulsifier, and an aqueous inorganic oxidizing salt solution under mixing conditions sufficient to obtain an emulsion matrix coposition and thereafter blending microbubbles with the emulsion matrix, the microbubbles being introduced to the emulsion matrix from a deaerated reservoir thereof.
