Interest in explosive-free rock fracturing has grown exponentially in the past two decades due to concerns about the environmental impacts of traditional rock fracturing methods with explosive energy. The present paper essentially presents the findings of an experimental study that aimed to develop a novel method for rock fracturing with soundless chemical degradation agents (SCDAs) at cold ambient temperatures. This is of great significance because commercially available SCDAs do not perform well, or at all, in these conditions. This study is part of a multi-phase project under the umbrella of Canada's Clean Growth Program. The newly established approach is verified through the rock fracture test results with SCDAs of two series of concrete and granite blocks exposed to cold temperatures up to -20oC. This method, the so-called high-temperature wire method (HTWM), utilizes a high-temperature spiral wire inserted into the SCDAs borehole and subjected to a DC voltage. The heat flux generated by the wire helps the SCDAs cure and expand to fracture the block. Based on the experimentally obtained results, it has been shown that the proposed new HTWM is quite promising because it enables rock fracturing with SCDAs at cold ambient temperatures reaching -20°C. It should be emphasized that such a result was previously unattainable with current industry practice.
