Underground metal mining is a systematic project, encompassing exploration, preparation, and mining, each stage requiring blasting. Thus, how to safely conduct blasting is a research topic for every miner.

With the advancement of science and technology, new mining technologies are continually evolving. From manual mining to mechanized mining, and now to automated and intelligent mining, remote control is at the core of both. Remote control technology will play an irreplaceable role in modern mines, serving as a crucial technological means for their development. This technology, which is relatively mature internationally, represents a direction for the development of underground mining, including remote rock drilling, remote charging, and remote mining. However, it is an auxiliary application technology that becomes viable only after a nation's industry has reached a certain level of development, and it has not been fully promoted in China yet. The key technologies of remote control are primarily manifested in three aspects: remote sensing of mining environments, remote operation of mining processes, and remote management and control of mining systems. This enables automatic perception and analysis, unmanned operations, remote deployment, automatic early warnings, and remote decision-making.

The widely used carbon dioxide blasting equipment finds extensive applications, primarily manifesting in the following aspects:

1. Coal mining activities include tunnel excavation, forced roof caving at coal mining faces, weakening of the roof caving coal faces, coal storage cleaning, and deep-hole fracturing for gas management.

2. Non-metallic mines (including gold, aluminum, copper, iron, and other non-ferrous metals, as well as marble, limestone, mortar, and other non-metallic minerals).

3. Tunneling and urban construction projects, hard rock and earthwork excavation control, stripping, and tunnel excavation; directional destruction of concrete structures, etc.

4. Rotating kilns for cement, power, and steel industries; clogging removal for equipment such as preheaters, kilns, and steel slag; agglomeration treatment for waste incineration furnaces in power plants.

5. Underwater Breaking and Ice-breaking.

6. Emergency rescue and relief operations, mining rescue, road clearance, dam breach treatment, flood discharge, etc.
