High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! An oxyliquit, also called liquid air explosive or liquid oxygen explosive, is an explosive material made of a mixture of liquid air or liquid oxygen (LOX) with a suitable fuel, usually carbon (as lampblack) or some organic chemical (eg. a mixture of soot and naphthalene), wood meal, or aluminium powder or sponge; the material is capable of absorbing several times its weight of LOX. It is a class of Sprengel explosives. Oxyliquits have numerous advantages. They are cheap to make, can be initiated by a safety fuse, and in case of a misfire the oxygen evaporates quickly, rendering the charge quite safe in a short period of time. The first large scale deployment was in 1899 during building of the Simplon Tunnel, in the form of cartridges filled with diatomaceous earth soaked with petroleum, or an absorbent cork charcoal, dipped in liquid oxygen immediately before use, or in another modification the cartridge is filled with liquid oxygen after placement in the borehole.
