You can see white fog when dry ice sublimates.
Carbon dioxide is invisible. It's not smoke, it's fog. When carbon dioxide changes from solid to gas, it absorbs a lot of heat, which makes the temperature of the surrounding air drop rapidly, and the air temperature drops accordingly. Its solubility in water vapor becomes smaller, and the water vapor liquefies and releases heat, turning into small water droplets, which is fog. This is the same as the "white fog" of popsicles in summer. It's all water droplets, not other gaseous substances.
That is, we see white fog instead of white smoke.

The temperature of dry ice is much lower than that of water, so it is equivalent to heating dry ice, which absorbs heat and sublimates, reducing the temperature of water and even freezing it.

clean technologies
edit
Dry ice cleaning has been widely used in foundry industry all over the world, and most foundry industries have changed to dry ice cleaning to clean sand core molds and fixed molds.
Cleaning principle
"Energy transfer" Dry ice impacts the surface to be cleaned at a high speed, and the impact kinetic energy is dissipated, and the dry ice particles and the surface to be cleaned undergo extremely rapid heat transfer, and carbon dioxide instantly sublimates.
"Cryogenic cracking". The temperature difference between two different materials with different thermal expansion coefficients will destroy the combination between the two materials. Dry ice particles (-78.5℃) impact the surface of the treated object, causing the dirt to freeze, embrittle and burst, resulting in "cracking", which affects the mechanical properties of the attached dirt.
"Micro-explosion". After the dry ice particles drill into the dirt gap, they sublimate within a few thousandths of a second, and the volume instantly expands by 600-800 times, stripping the dirt from the surface of the object.
In the process of dry ice cleaning, compressed air is used as the power to spray dry ice particles on the surface of the object to be cleaned at supersonic speed, instead of relying solely on the kinetic energy of dry ice particles, the ultra-low temperature performance of dry ice is used to achieve the purpose of decontamination.
purifying equipment
Dry ice cleaning equipment can usually be divided into two parts:
1. dry ice granulator. Liquid CO2 is made into dry ice particles with certain specifications, which are usually high-density dry ice particles with a diameter of 3mm and a length of 2.5 mm-10 mm. ..
2. Dry ice high-pressure cleaning machine. Generally, the equipment needs a clean compressed air source of more than 4.0bar and more than 3m3/min. Driven by compressed air, the high-density dry ice particles loaded into the cleaning machine are mixed with compressed air through a specially designed spray gun system and accelerated, and sprayed onto the surface of the cleaned object.
As required: ① Only buy dry ice cleaning machine. The purchased dry ice particles are loaded into dry ice cleaning machine for cleaning operation. (2) Buy dry ice granulator and dry ice cleaning machine, but use them separately. The dry ice granules produced by the dry ice granulator are stored in special sealed containers, transported to the construction site and loaded into dry ice cleaning machine for cleaning. ③ The dry ice granulator and dry ice cleaning machine are combined into a system for use.

Cleaning machine
Dry ice cleaning can be done on the spot. This advanced cleaning method can not only save working hours, but also greatly reduce downtime. Compared with the old sandblasting, it not only has no worry about wear, but also saves the time of remolding.
Dry ice cleaning removes the demoulding layer and residual materials on the mold. When the mold is at high temperature and online, these accumulated dirt can be easily removed. This cleaning method can shorten the cleaning downtime by 80%-95%. Because there is no wear in the cleaning process, the size of the precision mold will not be destroyed. In addition, the "micropore" can be opened for cleaning without manual drilling of the exhaust hole.
Matters needing attention
edit
Safe contact
Remember to be careful every time you touch dry ice. Touch dry ice with thick cotton gloves or other shelter! If it is in direct contact with the skin for a long time, it may cause cell freezing and similar slight or extremely serious frostbite damage. Dry ice cannot be used in sealed places such as cars and cabins, because the sublimated carbon dioxide will be denser than oxygen, so it will squeeze out oxygen, which may lead to shortness of breath or even suffocation!
Never let children touch dry ice alone! !
The temperature of dry ice is extremely low, please don't put it in your mouth to prevent frostbite! !
When taking dry ice, you must use thick cotton gloves, clips and other shelter (plastic gloves have no shelter! ! )
Please use dry ice in a well-ventilated place and avoid in a closed space with dry ice! !
Dry ice cannot be mixed with liquid.
Tip: Use dry ice correctly and safely to avoid injury.
keep
Put dry ice in an incubator: an incubator with good insulation effect can slow down the sublimation of dry ice.
Because the pressure generated by sublimation of dry ice will cause explosion, it is not allowed to store dry ice in a closed incubator.
Mars exploration
edit
For the first time, scientists have successfully discovered the flowing material in the deep valley of Mars-Australia and Mexico.
Dry ice cleaning equipment
Dr Nick Hoffman, a geologist at Irvine University, found signs of active processes flowing in valleys and rivers in polar regions on the photos of the surface of Mars taken by the Mars Global Probe.
In the new issue of Space Biology, Dr. Hoffman presented his own new evidence. In spring, when the temperature of Mars is-130℃, ice and snow full of carbon dioxide flow in the ravine. Even the acid in the battery will turn into pebbles at such a cold temperature. It is impossible for water to flow at such a low temperature, so most of the water flowing in the ravine of Mars is carbon dioxide. But there can't be liquid carbon dioxide on Mars, because carbon dioxide will change directly from solid to gas (so-called sublimation). Obviously, "fluid" is an avalanche or ice collapse composed of sand, dust and "boiling" dry ice of stones.
Dr Hoffman pointed out, "This discovery can dispel people's illusions about life on Mars. If all the young gullies on Mars had the same formation mechanism, NASA could not claim that there was life near the surface of Mars. There will be no liquid water on Mars. Although it has been reported many times not long ago that a large amount of water ice has been found on Mars, NASA has not found liquid water. "
Dr. Hoffman believes that the discovery of active "fluid" on Mars itself is an epoch-making discovery, because before that, fire
dry ice
This star is absolutely still, if you don't notice its dust storm. Gullies on Mars are considered as the most likely choice to find liquid water on Mars today. Many experts from NASA have focused their attention on finding the mechanism, which can explain why gullies are formed under the action of water erosion, but no one has ever seen gullies "flow" before.
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. Because the temperature of dry ice is very low, the temperature is MINUS 78.5 degrees Celsius, so it is often used to keep objects in a frozen or low temperature state. Dry ice can quickly freeze objects and reduce the temperature, which has been widely used. Dry ice does not change from solid to liquid when it is dissolved, but sublimates directly from solid to gas, so its melting will not produce any water or liquid, which is why we call it "dry ice".
In 2006, American scientists announced that they had discovered a "dry ice fountain" on Mars, which could spray dry ice hundreds of feet high.
Scientists say that through the camera installed on the Mars probe Odyssey, they found that there is dry ice spewing like a fountain at the South Pole of Mars at a speed of 100 miles per hour.
According to the BBC, photos show that the dry ice ejected from the interior of Mars has brought a lot of dust and left various black marks on the ice sheet.
Scientists explained that the surface of Mars became warmer after being irradiated by the sun, which melted the originally frozen dry ice and formed high-pressure gas, which was ejected at high speed.
Dr Christensen of Arizona State University said, "If you are there, you will find yourself standing on a thick layer of dry ice. And around you, dry ice is still spewing from the ground, spraying hundreds of feet from the ground, bringing a lot of dust. "
Christensen said: "There is no similar phenomenon on earth." [2]?
