Talk:Carbon dioxide cleaning

Is this the right place to talk? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Co2clean (talk • contribs) 17:39, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

I view myself as an expert on CO2 cleaning and I feel it is possible to edit this page without being unfair. My technical publications have been neutral as they are peer reviewed. My conflict is only on one of the 4 CO2 cleaning methods. Presently, I feel the page has errors, misstatements, and weak on technical details. I have a COI on one process and the present page seems to reference me a lot without my doing it. To date, i have cleaned (corrected) up the references to myself, added a reference that is relevant. I plan to delete ref 4 and replace it with a 2016 refernce, a book chapter that is highly detailed. I am not sure how to state the COI conflict when editing, but i will try to be impartial as much as possible. One paper, reference 8 and 12 are duplicates. I will try to remove one.

PS, I have a COI on snow, not on the other three methods.

changes suggested and fixes Intro paragraph   Suggested change is below. Carbon dioxide cleaning (CO2 cleaning) comprises a family of methods for parts cleaning and sterilization, using carbon dioxide in its various phases.[1] It is often preferred for use on delicate surfaces.[2][3][4]:275   - CO2 cleaning has found application in the aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical, and other industries.[5][6]  Carbon dioxide snow cleaning  and has been used to remove particles and organic residues from metals, polymers, ceramics, glasses, hard drives, optics, and other surfaces.[4]:270

Suggested changes: 1 - Many types of surfaces can be cleaned, from structural items to delicate parts. (this is new sentence 2) 2 - CO2 cleaning has found application in the aerospace, automotive, electronics, semiconductor manufacturing, medical, optics, basic and applied research, and a myriad of other industries.[5][6] 3 - Carbon dioxide cleaning methods has been used to remove gross contamination such as greases, paints, plastic and polymer layers, particles of all sizes (down to nanometers), hydrocarbon and organic residues from metals, glass, ceramics, polymers, wafers, hard drives, historical and art objects, and many more.[4, 6]

if no objections, i will try this tomorrow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Co2clean (talk • contribs)

I added a few sentences on liquid and supercritical CO2. There is no COI on these. I wonder if I should do a separate page on snow cleaning even with my COI. What is here is just mediocre and i can try a better and longer page and try to be fair. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Co2clean (talk • contribs) 20:01, 27 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Let's develop any new text that's needed here, then we can consider a WP:SPLIT if size makes it prudent. Please remember to sign your comments. — swpb T 13:21, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
