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 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...
متن کاملCapturing Carbon Dioxide From Air
The goal of carbon sequestration is to take CO2 that would otherwise accumulate in the atmosphere and put it in safe and permanent storage. Most proposed methods would capture CO2 from concentrated sources like power plants. Indeed, on-site capture is the most sensible approach for large sources and initially offers the most cost-effective avenue to sequestration. For distributed, mobile source...
