ABSTRACT
Industry of minerals extraction in Slovakia has passed in the last ten years many qualitative changes. In mining and quarrying of industry minerals, began to use more of modern technologies and implemented the new system management factors. The many technological mines operation have been innovated at the level of performed processes, as well as in existing technical systems of industry minerals extraction. Innovative changes are demonstrable also in the rock destruction process with using blasting energy of explosives. In the mining system is a primary process of rock destruction performed with blasting works, which is critical for the production of the both industry minerals quality and aggregates. The article described an innovative procedure for introducing the new concept of using modern and environmentally friendly explosives. Qualitative parameters of the process of rock disintegration, with the use of selected types of explosives are presented as outputs of practical and laboratory research.
