The name “Frïs” links the Swedish word for "freeze" (frysa) and the Danish word for "ice" (is). The name refers both to Scandinavia and to its patented process of freeze filtration. [2] However, the letter ï (I with a double dot) does not appear in any Scandinavian language except for Southern Sami.
The eutectic nature of salt and water is exploited when salt is spread on roads to aid snow removal, or mixed with ice to produce low temperatures (for example, in traditional ice cream making). Ethanol–water has an unusually biased eutectic point, i.e. it is close to pure ethanol, which sets the maximum proof obtainable by fractional freezing.
A vodka distillery in Bialystok, Poland, where the bison grass vodka "Żubrówka" is produced Finnish-grown six-row barley and glacial spring water, Finlandia Vodka While most vodkas are unflavored, many flavored vodkas have been produced in traditional vodka-drinking areas, often as home-made recipes to improve vodka's taste or for medicinal ...
A police raid in Manchester led to a shocking revelation. According to the Mirror, 130,000 liters (or 34,342 gallons) of vodka were confiscated because they contained anti-freeze chemicals, which ...
The water underneath becomes saltier and colder, leading to an increase in density. This parcel of water in the Okhotsk Sea is referred to as dense shelf water (DSW). The saltier and colder a water parcel is, the denser it becomes, causing it to sink below other parcels of water. For this reason, the DSW will begin to sink within the water column.
Tank crystallizers. Tank crystallization is an old method still used in some specialized cases. Saturated solutions, in tank crystallization, are allowed to cool in open tanks. After a period of time the mother liquor is drained and the crystals removed. Nucleation and size of crystals are difficult to control.
Research suggests that drinking ice water may set off more frequent and intense but shorter brain freeze episodes than, say, eating ice cubes. But brain freeze can also happen when we breathe in ...
Water expands by 9% as it freezes. Occasionally the surface can freeze over except for a small hole; the continuing freezing and expansion of water that is below the surface ice then slowly pushes the remaining water up through the hole. Reaching very cold air, the edge of the extruded water freezes while remaining liquid in the center.
