FIND OUT MORE ABOUT SUBLIMATION

---

 Sublimation is a unique process where a substance transitions directly from a solid state to a gaseous state, bypassing the liquid phase entirely. This phenomenon occurs under specific conditions of temperature and pressure, typically below the substance’s triple point. A common example of sublimation is dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), which transforms directly into carbon dioxide gas at room temperature.

In practical applications, sublimation is utilized in freeze-drying, where water is removed from perishable goods to preserve them. This process is also employed in the manufacturing of certain materials and in the printing industry for creating high-quality images on various surfaces.
