Sublimation in Separation and Purification
Description
Sublimation is the direct change of a solid into a gas. It skips the liquid state. A common example is solid carbon dioxide, or dry ice, which turns into gaseous carbon dioxide at standard pressure and room temperature.
The phase diagram shows when sublimation can happen. This process occurs at t...

Transcript
Sublimation is the direct phase transformation from the solid to the gaseous phase, bypassing the liquid state.
For example, solid carbon dioxide, or dry ice, sublimes to gaseous carbon dioxide at room temperature and pressure.
This transition occurs at the solid–gas phase boundary and is not observed above the triple point.
