Evaluating radon loss from water during storage in standard PET, bio-based PET, and PLA bottles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polylactic acid (PLA) bottles were tested to evaluate radon loss from water during 15 days of storage. PET bottles (lower surface/volume-ratio vials) lost 0.4e7.1% of initial radon, whereas PLA bottles lost 3.7% of it. PET bottles with volume of 0.5 L, lower surface/weight ratio, and hence higher thickness display proportionally reduced radon loss. Corrections for dissolved radium are needed during analyses. Formulas for calculating degassing efficiency and water interference on electrostatic collections are developed. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

To investigate the safety level of softdrink bottled in plastic, the amount of antimony (Sb) existing in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles was examined. The Sb concentrations in beverages and polyester resin itself were measured by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer (GFAAS). A detection limit (3σ) of 0.4 μg/L was achieved. PET bottles were classified into five groups ba...

Interaction of menthol with polyethylene terephthalate bottles during storage time was tested at three different temperatures. Menthol is a mint flavor agent added to yogurt drinks in Iran and is considered as a factor affecting consumer acceptance. Absorption of menthol to packaging material could cause a loss of quality in the final product due to diminished flavor intensity. Tests were done ...
