1. "Dry ice" or solid carbon dioxide sublimes.

2. Snow and ice can sublime in the winter months without melting.

3. Moth balls sublime

4. Frozen foods will sublime and you will find ice crystals inside of the box or bag.


angelayushee: intense stick ???
smuni: no mention
Crudyamigo: napthalene balls
angelayushee: i m asking about intense stuck
smuni: No... it not convert directlg into solid to gaseous direct

1- Carbon dioxide

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. At room temperature and pressure, it is sublimed into carbon dioxide.

It can be used to create a special smoky or ghostly effect. Because of its relative safety, dry ice is the solid of choice in classroom demonstrations.

2- Water

Under special conditions, frozen water (ice) can bypass the liquid phase and sublimate into the air. It is difficult to see the sublimation of the ice, but you can see the results.

The southern surface of Mount Everest has perfect conditions for sublimation of snow: low temperatures, intense sunlight, low relative humidity and dry winds (VanBuren, S.F.).

3- Iodine

Iodine at a temperature of 100 ° C sublimes from a solid to a toxic purple gas. This is used in forensic sciences to capture fingerprints.

4- Arsenic

At 615 ° C, the arsenic sublimates. This represents a hazard given the toxicity of the element.

5- Sulfur

This compound sublimates between 25 and 50 ° C causing toxic and suffocating gases (Tucker, 1929).

6- Printing inks

Dry sublimation printers use the sublimation process to print photographic quality images.

The process begins when there are special films containing solid pigments that when heated, sublimated and subsequently recaptured.

Images can be printed on polyester shirts, aluminum or chrome vessels or sheets (METAL PRINTS DYE-SUBLIMATION ONTO ALUMINUM, S.F.).

7- Aromatizers

Solid air fresheners also sublimate. These compounds are usually esters, including those that hang on the toilet. This is how the chemicals are put directly into the air and make the smell fresh.

8- Nephthalene

Mothballs are made with this compound which, when sublimated, distracts moths.

9- Zinc

This compound tends to sublimate at low pressure.

10- Aluminum

This metal is sublimated at temperatures above 1000 ° C for certain industrial processes.
