Excerpt from Development of Liquid Oxygen Explosives During the War
Liquid in which the normal oxygen content was more or less increased, in mixture with carbonaceous material was first tried as an explosive in Germany, in 1897, following the invention by Linde of his liquefying apparatus in 1895, blasting tests being conducted with favorable results in a crosscut of the Penzberg coal mine in upper Bavaria.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Imagine a substance that can replace dynamite in mining and quarrying tasks. This book is a comprehensive analysis of liquid oxygen, an explosive compound that can be made with carbon and the oxygen in the air that we breathe. As economies of nations were strained by the First World War, chemists were tasked with creating an alternative to the expensive, scarce wartime explosives. This book reports on the findings of a U.S. Bureau of Mines investigation into liquid oxygen as a suitable explosive substitute. It covers the historical investigation of the substance, beginning with its discovery in 1895, through the experiments conducted on it by German scientists and finally, those conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Mines during the First World War. The book covers the scientific and technical challenges of the development of liquid oxygen as an explosive, particularly the challenge of keeping it in liquid form and the hazards of its rapid evaporation into a gas. These pages contain valuable information on the potential military and industrial uses of liquid oxygen, especially in the mining and quarrying sectors.
