In today’s world, when the concerns regarding the environment are growing, the demand for environment friendly cleaning methods is increasing. The traditional methods of cleaning such as pressure washing have come under scrutiny. Companies are turning to other more eco-friendly alternatives.
One such alternative is dry ice blasting. It is considered superior to other traditional methods such as scrapers, sanders and wire brushes. This process is known to save time and cleans as thoroughly and neatly or more so in a comparatively less time.
It is also faster and time-saving. It is used in any type of industry which has equipments that need to be cleaned regularly like automotive, power plants, aviation, packaging, plastics and many more. For instance, companies such as React365 Inc. offer on-site dry ice blasting services. This non-invasive form of cleaning technology is safe and effective on everything from the bottoms of boats to electrical switches and turbine fins.
What is Dry Ice
Dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide (Co2). Dry ice is as hard as a plaster and under atmospheric pressure it sublimes at a temperature of -78oC.
Dry Ice Blasting
Dry ice blasting or CO2 blasting is a process in which dry ice pellets (about the size of grains of rice) are shot out of a nozzle at a supersonic speed to rid the equipment of residues including oil, paint, ink, glue, dirt, grease, food, mold release agents, rubber and several other contaminants. The pellets are accelerated using compressed air. Upon impact the dry ice transforms from a solid state to a gaseous state without passing through the liquid stage.
There are three phases in a dry ice blasting process.
Energy Transfer:
Kinetic is transferred when the blasting gun fires dry ice pellets onto the surface. The dry ice pellet sublimates upon impact and is softer compared to other cleaning media such as sand, grit, or beads. It’s a non-abrasive form of cleaning and does not cause any damage to the equipment.
Micro Thermal Shock Effect:
It occurs when the freezing dry ice pellets strike a much warmer contaminated surface leading to a thermal shock between the surface contaminant and the substrate. At that point, cracking and delamination of the contaminant occurs.
Thermal Kinetic Effect:
In the third and final phase, the dry ice pellets explode when coming in contact with the surface. As the pellets warm, they convert to CO2 gas which expands rapidly underneath the contaminated surface. Then the contaminant either falls to the ground or becomes airborne. The dry ice evaporates and only the contaminant is left behind.
A Comparatively Safer Process
Dry ice blasting is quite effective and a safe process for the following plus points:
• No water or harsh chemicals are used in the process, so there is no additional waste being generated.
• There is no risk of slippage as with the pressure washing process.
Precautions Needed
However, certain safety precautions should be taken while conducting the process:
• Proper ventilation is a must. CO2 can be dangerous when concentrated in confined spaces. CO2 is 50 percent heavier than air and can displace oxygen and strangulate a person if there is no proper ventilation.
• It is imperative to wear ear plugs, as the process generates deafening noise.
• The temperature of dry ice can be as low as -110 degrees F and can instantly freeze the skin. Wear gloves when handling dry ice.
• Always use protective clothing, face shield when handling CO2 pellets or dry ice blasting unit.

BLAST $43.94 Sequence similarity is a powerful tool for discovering biological function. Just as the ancient Greeks used comparative anatomy to understand the human body and linguists used the Rosetta stone to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs, today we can use comparative sequence analysis to understand genomes. BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool), is a sophisticated software package for rapid searching of nucleotide and protein databases. It is one of the most important software packages used in sequence analysis and bioinformatics. Most users of BLAST, however, seldom move beyond the program’s default parameters, and never take advantage of its full power. "BLAST" is the only book completely devoted to this popular suite of tools. It offers biologists, computational biology students, and bioinformatics professionals a clear understanding of BLAST as well as the science it supports. This book shows you how to move beyond the default parameters, get specific answers using BLAST, and how to interpret your results. The book also contains tutorial and reference sections covering NCBI-BLAST and WU-BLAST, background material to help you understand the statistics behind BLAST, Perl scripts to help you prepare your data and analyze your results, and a wealth of tips and tricks for configuring BLAST to meet your own research needs. Some of the topics covered include: BLAST basics and the NCBI web interface How to select appropriate search parameters BLAST programs: BLASTN, BLASTP, BLASTX, TBLASTN, TBLASTX, PHI-BLAST, and PSI BLAST Detailed BLAST references, including NCBI-BLAST and WU-BLAST Understanding biological sequences Sequence similarity, homology, scoring matrices, scores, and evolution Sequence Alignment Calculating BLAST statistics Industrial-strength BLAST, including developing applications with Perl and BLAST "BLAST" is the only comprehensive reference with detailed, accurate information on optimizing BLAST searches for high-throughput sequence analysis. This is a book that any biologist should own. |

Blast Waves $168.58 The primary purpose of this text is to document many of the lessons that have been learned during the authors more than 40 years in the field of blast and shock. This writing therefore takes on an historical perspective, in some sense, because it follows the authora (TM)s experience. The book deals with blast waves propagating in fluids or materials that can be treated as fluids. This monograph provides a broad overview of blast waves. We start with the distinction between blast waves and the more general category of shock waves. We examine several ways of generating blast waves and the propagation of blast waves in one, two and three dimensions and through the real atmosphere. One section will cover the propagation of shocks in layered gasses. We then cover the interaction of shock waves with simple structures starting with reflections from planar structures, then two dimensional structures, such as ramps or wedges. This leads to shock reflections from heights of burst and then three dimensional and complex structures. The intended audience has a basic knowledge of algebra and a good grasp of the concepts of conservation of mass and energy. The text includes an introduction to blast wave terminology and conservation laws and a discussion of units and the importance of consistency. |

Blast Cleaning Technology $159 Blast cleaning is one of the most frequently utilised surface treatment-method in modern industry. Tilghman??'s patent on "Improvement in cutting and engraving stone, metal, glass etc." (1870) was the starting point of the utilisation of blast cleaning for industrial processes. Early applications included applications in the foundry industry, steel making industry, and corrosion protection industry. Today??'s applications include the use for micro-machining, polishing, maintenance and surface preparation for coating applications. Recent advanced applications in the machining industry include blast cleaning assisted laser milling. The book is the first comprehensive monograph in this subject. It provides a practical and comprehensive review of the technology. This book systematically and critically reviews the theory behind the technology, the state of current blast cleaning, surface quality aspects and the effects of blast cleaning on the performance of applied coatings. |

The Socorro Blast $3.95 Victim or perpetrator? That’s what New Mexico’s favorite public relations maven, Sasha Solomon, can’t figure out about her favorite niece. The daughter of Sasha’s overbearing sister, Gabi is a grad student at Socorro’s New Mexico Tech, where she’s studying explosives technology. In town to help boost area tourism, Sasha looks forward to spending time with the young woman. But the PR pro never imagined it would be in the hospital, where Gabi lands after someone rigs her mailbox with a nasty surprise. Jewish with an Iranian surname, Gabi could be the victim of a hate crime. But as details emerge about her work and personal relationships, she begins to appear less as a victim than as a threat. Meanwhile, Sasha learns that the family of her client, town patriarch Papi Sanchez, is riddled with secrets and scandal. At once a topically flavored whodunit and a realistic portrayal of the way families join together–or don’t–in a crisis, "The Socorro Blast" is a blend of mystery and domestic drama, with the flawed but always engaging Sasha Solomon on center stage. "Lucky readers who enjoyed Pari Noskin Taichert’s first two Sasha Solomon novels don’t need to be told she’s a first class writer. But they’re going to find "The Socorro Blast" is even better. It’s full of wit and sociological insights."–Tony Hillerman "PR sleuth Sasha Solomon takes us on yet another rollercoaster read. Fans of Noskin Taichert will love the unexpected twists right up to the shocking conclusion. "The Socorro Blast" is her best work yet, as Sasha whips her way through one of New Mexico’s most diverse landscapes."–Barbara Richardson, First Lady of New Mexico ""The Socorro Blast" is indeed a blast, andliterally opens with one. The narrator, Sasha, is one feisty lady and has a mouth on her to rival the best of the Irish spirit. The mystery is compelling and New Mexico is conveyed with a love and poetic eye that is truly evocative. The dynamic or dysfunction of families is captured brilliantly."–Ken Bruen, multiple award-winning mystery novelist |

Alabama Blast Furnaces $15.96 This work is the first and remains the only source of information on all blast furnaces built and operated in Alabama, from the first known charcoal furnace of 1815 (Cedar Creek Furnace in Franklin County) to the coke-fired giants built before the onset of the Great Depression. Woodward surveys the iron industry from the early, small local market furnaces through the rise of the iron industry in support of the Confederate war effort, to the giant internationally important industry that developed in the 1890s. The bulk of the book consists of individual illustrated histories of all blast furnaces ever constructed and operated in the state? furnaces that went into production and four that were built but never went into blast. Written to provide a record of every blast furnace built in Alabama from 1815 to 1940, this book was widely acclaimed and today remains one of the most quoted references on the iron and steel industry. |

The Model City: Blast to Present $36.67 Henry Grady, who turned the Atlanta Constitution into a nationally prominent publication in a few short years, is credited with giving Anniston’s newspaper its maiden name, The Hot Blast. The inspiration, we’re told, came when Grady, in Anniston for a visit to this model city, noted the sparks shooting out from the company town’s foundry. "Hot Blast" seemed like a nifty handle for a paper covering northeast Alabama. On Aug. 18, 2008, The Anniston Star, the descendant of The Hot Blast, celebrated its 125th birthday. The paper was not alone in hitting the big 1-2-5. In early July, the city of Anniston marked 125 years of existence. The Star has created something we believe worthy of the anniversary. The book is a compilation of five special newspaper sections examining The Model City’s history and its future. It looks backwards, to Samuel Noble and Daniel Tyler’s grand experiment at creating a different sort of company town, one that treated workers fairly, established a foundation for a high-functioning community and aspired to lift the South from its post-war doldrums. This book aims to extract lessons from our past that can be applied to our future. The authors do this because we believes a community can’t know where it’s going until it’s sure of where it’s been. We hope you will find The Model City informative and challenging, as bracing as the whoosh of warm air blowing out of an iron furnace. |

He was never seen again, and four decades later, he has never been identified – until now.Kenneth Peter Christiansen, a former World War II paratrooper and later a purser for Northwest Airlines, was the man who pulled off one of the boldest unsolved crimes in history. Skipp Porteous of Sherlock Investigations, New York, and Robert Blevins of Adventure Books of Seattle present the case that Christiansen and Cooper were one and the same. This specially revised edition of the book takes into account new information discovered about Christiansen since the original release. Additional photos, new witness testimony, and a chapter on how the History Channel became involved have been added. Blevins and Porteous show how Christiansen planned the hijacking of NWA Flight 305, what motivated him to do it, who helped him on the ground, and what he did with the money afterward. More than forty pictures, many of them new, as well as interviews with the witnesses, reveals the truth at last. Into The Blast was the subject of a recent episode on the History Channel show Brad Meltzer’s Decoded. |

Advanced Pulverized Coal Injection Technology and Blast Furnace Operation $97.95 In order to reduce the cost of running blast furnaces (BFs), injected pulverized coal is used rather than coke to fire BFs. As a result of this, unburned fine materials are blown with the gas into the bosh and dead man areas with possible detrimental effects on gas flow and permeability of the coke column. The capacity of the furnace to consume these particles by solution loss is probably one of the limitations to coal injection. It is, therefore, important to understand the physicochemical and aerodynamic behaviour of fines including the change of in-furnace phenomena. The Committee of Pulverized Coal Combustion and In-Furnace Reaction in BF was set up in 1993 as a cooperative research of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and the Iron and Steel Institute (ISIJ) to evaluate research initiative into this problem. This book reports on the JSPS/ISIJ Committee’s activities and describes the interpretation of findings drawn from combustion experiments and the results of live furnace applications, and furnace performance. |

Sniper One $7.99 When Sgt. Dan Mills and the rest of the 1st Battalion, The Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment flew into Iraq in April, 2004, they were supposed to be winning hearts and minds. They were soon fighting for their lives. Within hours of their arrival in Iraq, a grenade bounced off one of the battalion’s Land Rovers, rolled underneath and detonated. The ambush marked the beginning of a full-scale firefight during which Mills killed a man with a round that removed his assailant’s head. It was going to be a long tour. Like some post-apocalyptic “Mad Max” nightmare, the place had gone to hell in a handbasket. Temperatures on the ground often topped 120 degrees Fahrenheit, sewage systems had long since packed up, and the stench of cooking waste and piles of festering garbage grew wherever you looked. Throat-burning winds, blast bombs and well-trained, well-organized militias armed with AKs, RPGs and a limitless supply of mortar rounds were the icing on the cake. If any of Mills’s eighteen-man sniper platoon had thought that the people of Al Amarah were going to welcome them with open arms, they were rapidly forced to reconsider. For the next six months, isolated, besieged and under constant fire, the battalion refused to give an inch. Sniper One is a breathtaking chronicle of endurance, camaraderie, dark humor and courage in the face of relentless, lethal assault. |
