answered-by-expert Expert Answer

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide.

Dry ice is readily manufactured by the following process:

  1. Gases containing a high concentration of carbon dioxide are produced. Such gases can be a byproduct of some other process, such as producing ammonia and nitrogen from natural gas, or large-scale fermentation.
  2. Carbon dioxide-rich gas is pressurized and refrigerated until it changes into its liquid form.
  3. The pressure is reduced. When this occurs some liquid carbon dioxide vaporizes, and this causes a rapid lowering of temperature of the remaining liquid carbon dioxide. The extreme cold makes the liquid solidify into a snow-like consistency.
  4. The snow-like solid carbon dioxide is compressed into either small pellets or larger blocks of dry ice.
