Title: DRY ICE/ co2 gas
Post by: moreford on March 06, 2003, 10:59:00 PM

i have been looking at this dry ice. it lets a off a gas. will anything happen if i just drop in a couple pcs of ice to my N/P. if gas is used to push out the snow then what about the gas that comes from dry ice. i had this old timer tell me i was crazy for gasing with sul/salt gas. he said it will do the same but less work. now does that sound possable? thanks and i hope i posted in the right place if not, sorry

It may work to precipitate a carbonate salt of the amine you have in solution, but carbonate salts are usually hygroscopic and generally unstable, on storage decomposing to the freebase and carbon dioxide gas again.
