ڈاکٹر محمد ضیاء الدین انصاری

ڈاکٹر محمد ضیاء الدین انصاری
ڈاکٹر محمد ضیاء الدین انصاری میرے مخلص اور عزیز دوست تھے، مجھے ان کے انتقال کی خبر بہت دیر سے ملی، وہ علی گڑھ مولانا آزاد لائبریری میں ڈپٹی لائبریرین تھے، وہاں جاتا تو مطلوبہ کتابیں فوراً حاضر کرتے اور چائے سے خاطر تواضع کرتے، اصرار کرکے گھر بلاتے اور پرتکلف دعوت کرتے، خدابخش لائبریری کے ڈائریکٹر ہوکر وہ پٹنہ گئے تو اسے ترقی دینے کے لئے متعدد کام کئے اور کئی سمینار کرائے جن میں مجھے مدعو کرتے، وہاں سے ریٹائر ہوکر علی گڑھ آئے تو مولانا حسین احمد مدنیؒ پر ایک سمینار کا پروگرام بنایا مگر وہ نہ ہوسکا، ضیاء الدین صاحب کو علم و ادب سے بڑا شغف تھا اور وہ اچھے منتظم بھی تھے، کئی کتابیں لکھیں لیکن اشاریہ نگار کی حیثیت سے انہوں نے اپنا خاص سکہ جمایا، وہ بڑے شریف، نیک طینت، خوش خلق اور مرنجان مرنج شخص تھے، اﷲ تعالیٰ انہیں جنت نعیم عطا کرے اور پس ماندگان کو صبر جمیل عطا فرمائے، آمین۔
(ضیاء الدین اصلاحی، اپریل ۲۰۰۷ء)

مقام نبوت و رسالت: کتب مقدسہ کی روشنی میں: تجزیاتی مطالعہ

Allah used to send Prophets to deliver his message and to provide guidance to the people in every field of life. Different Prophets brought divine religions with them and make people convince to that particular religion. For the purpose of guiding people, Allah made a formal arrangement of sending down divine books. Among those, Torah, Gospel and the Holy Quran are the three books on which this paper will focus on Torah, Gospel and Holy Quran are followed by Jews, Muslims and Christians respectively. This paper emphasizes on the respect and status these books give to their prophets. As three of these have been sent down by Allah, researchers are interested in knowing the similarities in these books with reference to esteem and prestige these books offer to their holy prophets, i.e. Hazrat Moosa (A.S), Hazrat Issa (A.S)and Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH).

Analyzing Effects of Air Decks on Fragmentation and Economics of Bench Blasting

The airdeck blasting technique has been used in the past to reduce the explosive charge and to improve the rock fragmentation. However, the mining and construction industry of Pakistan has always been reluctant to use airdecks in their blasting operations. This is due to the fact that researchers and practitioners have a divided opinion about the efficiency of this technique. In fact, several attempts in the past have been made to find out the best position and optimum length of airdeck for better fragmentation. Since, in the previous studies most of experiments were carried out under varying geological conditions, it was very difficult to suggest the best possible location and optimum length for airdeck in an explosive column for better fragmentation. In order to find out the best position of airdeck in explosive column that yields better fragmentation, it was necessary to carry out all experiments on homogeneous material and in controlled geological conditions. So that research findings indicate a correlation between the concerned variables only and a benchmark research could be established. Therefore, special homogeneous concrete blocks were designed for this research. These concrete blocks eliminated the heterogeneity and anisotropy of rock material, such as the fractures, folds, faults and joints of rock. Such factors have been found to play a very crucial role in the size of debris produced from the blasted rock material. This research will address two fundamental questions; the technical and the economic efficiency of the airdeck blasting technique. All the blasting experiments in this study were carried out in two phases. In the first phase, a series of small scale experiments was conducted using homogeneous concrete blocks. In order to find out the proper position and optimized length of the airdeck, it was ensured that the concrete blocks had almost the same uniaxial compressive strength. More than 40 tests with concrete blocks were performed for this purpose. The evaluation of fragmentation by sieve analysis revealed that an improved rock fragmentation was achieved when the airdeck was placed in the center of the explosive column. Moreover, it was also observed that the mean blasted rock fragment size increased with the increase in airdeck size and the best results were achieved at 20% airdeck length. In the second phase of this research, the results of experimentation on concrete blocks were validated on relatively homogeneous limestone at two cement quarries: DG. Cement Chakwal and Askari Cement Nizampur. Several test blasts were carried out with full column charge without airdeck and with 20% airdeck length placed at middle of explosive column. The analysis of fragmentation for the benches after blast was done using Split Desktop software. Subsequently it was deciphered that at both the cement quarries, better fragmentation was achieved by placing airdeck at middle of explosive column as compared to when there was no airdeck in the full column charge. This research work also includes the use of multiple airdeck lengths placed at middle position of explosive column for the limestone quarry and the results indicate improved fragmentation. The results of this research work clearly indicate that airdeck, when placed at middle position of an explosive column produce more uniform blasted rock size distribution compared to that at other positions. Moreover, the optimum length of airdeck is 20% of the total length of explosive column and it improves environmental factors like fly rocks, air blast, ground vibrations etc. The underlying reason behind this is that the airdeck at middle position results in multiple impacts of shock wave that leads to an efficient transfer of explosive energy in the surrounding rocks. Economic analysis of explosive cost at both quarries was also conducted in this study. From economic analysis at DG Cement Chakwal, it was observed that up to 2.5 rupees per tonne of explosive cost could be saved by adopting 20% mid-airdeck length in the explosive column as compared to the cost incurred for conventional blasting techniques. By using above mentioned technique, saving per tonne can be increased by 16% and rupees 750,000 can be saved at the DG. Cement quarry monthly assuring an annual saving of rupees 9 million. Similarly, the economic analysis conducted from the results of blasting at Askari Cement Nizampur, it was observed that 2.6 rupees per tonne of explosive cost can be saved by adopting 20% mid-airdeck length in the explosive column to enhance the fragments as compared to the cost incurred for conventional blasting techniques. Therefore, using 20% mid-airdeck length in explosive column, saving per tonne can be increased by 10.4% and rupees 468,000 can be saved at the Askari Cement quarry monthly assuring an annual saving of 5.6 million rupees. By using 20% airdeck lengths in explosive column, Rs. 44.33 million can be saved annually for explosive used by Punjab, province of Pakistan. This amount can be calculated for other provinces of the Pakistan as well. There are many other minerals is Pakistan which require blasting for their production. If we could use the improved airdeck blasting technique for the production of those minerals, billions of rupees can be saved annually. Moreover, by incorporating the effect of even fragmentation from blasting on downstream processes like crushing, milling etc. millions of rupees can be saved. It is anticipated that this study will provide answers and guide lines to researchers and practitioners who were confused about best location and optimum length of airdeck to be used in explosive column for achieving the optimum fragmentation.
