Chapter 2.9.5 - Carbon Dioxide (Dry-Ice) Blasting
Dry-ice particle blasting is similar to sand blasting, plastic bead blasting, or soda blasting where a media is accelerated in a pressurized air stream (or other inert gas) to impact the surface to be cleaned or prepared. With dry-ice blasting, the media that impacts the surface is solid carbon dioxide (CO2) particles. One unique aspect of using dry-ice particles as a blast media is that the pa...
متن کاملOptical constants of carbon dioxide ice.
Laboratory measurements of the absorption coefficient and refractive index of solid CO2 are reviewed for all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum from the ultraviolet to the microwave with emphasis on values for temperatures above 77 K. The available measurements in some cases require reinterpretation. A compilation of the spectral absorption coefficient kabs is made for 52-nm to 160-nm wavele...
متن کاملExposure to carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide in enclosed ice arenas.
This article summarises the latest information on the adverse cardiorespiratory effects of exposure to carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO(2)) in enclosed ice rinks. Sources of CO and NO(2) emissions are identified, current standards for these agents, as well as methods of controlling the emissions, dispersion, and evacuation of these toxic gases are presented. A detailed literature s...
متن کاملRadon in the dry carbon dioxide spa of Mátraderecske, Hungary
The fi nal product of a post-volcanic activity is the exhalation of a low-temperature (<100°C) deep origin mofette gas, which contains mostly carbon dioxide. Examples of mofettes are the Torjai-Büdös cave in Transylvania, Romania [1] or the CO2 seepage in Mátraderecske, Hungary [2]. The term ‘mofette’ derives from the Latin word ‘mephitis,’ which means smelly exhalation [3]. Along its path to t...
متن کاملCarbon Dioxide Production by Dry Grain of Zea mays.
Use of the gas chromatograph and a mercury-to-glass sealed respirometer adapted for gas syringe sampling, allowed the rapid, accurate characterization of CO(2) evolution rates from live and from dead-sterile Zea mays L. grain dried to moisture levels of 12.6 to 1.4%. The live grain at the lowest moisture level showed an elevated rate inconsistent with the exponential increase in rate of CO(2) e...
