Technical Gases

Carbon Dioxide

It is obtained naturally from underground, from waste flue gases or from the combustion of petroleum and coal fuels. The quality of carbon dioxide obtained from the underground source is higher than that obtained by other methods. It is heavier than air gas. It is a colorless and odorless gas. It is solid at low temperatures. This state is called dry ice. Dry ice; It has properties that are non-flammable, tasteless and odorless, and have no toxic effects.

Usage areas ;

  • Due to its ability to dissolve easily in water, carbon dioxide is used as a carbonating and bubble-forming gas in the beverage industry.
  • In the fresh storage of meat products, fruits and vegetables without spoiling
  • In the cooling of overheated materials in industry
  • In maintaining the pH balance in swimming pools
  • As an inert cover in metal welding
  • In iron pelleting (solid-solid conversion)
  • Airbag, for inflating lifeboats
  • In aerosol and fire tubes, fire extinguishing systems
  • Lead carbonate pigment production
  • Shielding gas in plasma cutting
  • To control heat rise during thermal and plasma spraying
  • For cleaning metal surfaces
  • Fertilizing in greenhouse areas
  • Anti-limescale in pipes

It is not a toxic and flammable gas, but because it is heavier than air, when it spreads around, it reduces the amount of oxygen in the air and in this case it has a suffocating effect. The cause of death as a result of carbon dioxide gas poisoning is due to the suffocating effect of the gas. If the environment is humid, it has a corrosive effect.
