Effect of NaCl on antimony and phthalate compounds leached from PET bottles
Nowadays polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles are commonly used as food containers as they are lightweight. PET bottles contain antimony (Sb) and phthalate compounds. In contact with food, antimony and phthalate molecules could migrate from the inner surface of a PET bottle to the food. Therefore, we studied the effect of NaCl concentration in PET bottles on the leakage of antimony and ...

Impact of sunlight/dark storage on natural spring water bottled in polyethylene terephthalate
The effect of two environmental variables, ultraviolet radiation and external air temperature, on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottled water was investigated over 100 days. The high pressure liquid chromatography results showed the migration of carbonyl compounds (acetaldehyde, formaldehyde and acetone) from PET bottles into water over 3 months. Storage of PET bottled water enhanced the ...

A preliminary Ames fluctuation assay assessment of the genotoxicity of drinking water that has been solar disinfected in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles
Though microbially safe, concerns have been raised about the genotoxic/mutagenic quality of solar-disinfected drinking water, which might be compromised as a result of photodegradation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles used as SODIS reactors. This study assessed genotoxic risk associated with the possible release of genotoxic compounds into water from PET bottles during SODIS, using the ...

Field comparison of solar water disinfection (SODIS) efficacy between glass and polyethylene terephalate (PET) plastic bottles under sub-Saharan weather conditions
Concerns about photodegradation products leaching from plastic bottle material into water during solar water disinfection (SODIS) are a major psychological barrier to increased uptake of SODIS. In this study, a comparison of SODIS efficacy using glass and plastic polyethylene terephalate (PET) bottles was carried out under strong real sunlight and overcast weather conditions at Makerere ...

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of PET bottles and comparative LCA of three disposal options in Mauritius
Disposal of the increasing volume of used Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottles has been a cause for concern for the Mauritian Government. To assist Government in decision-making, a study on PET bottles and its disposal was undertaken using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tool. Three disposal scenarios, namely (100%) landfilling; (100%) incineration; and 50% landfilling and 50% incineration ...

PET Flakes Washing Line’s 2 Types: Cold Washing and Hot Washing
Did you know that there are two types of plastic bottle washing lines? That is, hot washing line and cold washing line. Cold washing line is suitable for general PET bottle cleaning needs, especially in the case of lighter soiling, and can effectively remove surface dirt and light stains. The hot washing line is more suitable for dealing with PET bottles with more serious dirt, through the action ...

Does sunlight change the material and content of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles?
A simple water treatment process called SODIS (solar water disinfection) consists of filling polluted water in PET bottles that are exposed to sunlight for 5–6 hours. However, sunlight does not only destroy disease-causing microorganisms found in the water but also transforms the plastic material into photoproducts. Laboratory and field tests revealed that these photoproducts are generated at the ...

Carlsberg Breweries, Denmark - Case Study
Dewatering Various Cans and Bottles with RUNI Screw Compactor Besides beer cans, Carlsberg Breweries in Denmark also produce Coca-Cola® in aluminum cans and PET-bottles. Carlsberg effective quality control daily sorts out substantial quantities, that needs to be destroyed. In more than 15 years Carlsberg has used a RUNI SK370 for emptying and compacting of PET-bottles. A few years ago they ...

Pet Washing Line Pet Bottle Recycling Machine
The PET washing line, also known as a PET bottle recycling machine, is a specialized system designed for the cleaning and recycling of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles. It typically consists of several stages: Sorting and Shredding: PET bottles are sorted based on color and type, then shredded into smaller pieces to facilitate the washing process. Washing and Cleaning: The shredded PET ...

Solar disinfection for the post-treatment of greywater by means of a continuous flow reactor
SODIS (solar disinfection) is a low-cost alternative for water decontamination. The method is based on the exposure of water, contained in PET bottles, to direct sunlight, and mainly its UV-A and infrared components. The present research studied SODIS as a low cost alternative for the inactivation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in treated greywater, aiming at its reuse for more noble applications. ...

Separation tank / Floating tank for separation of different kinds of plastic
The NEUE HERBOLD – Separation Tank Type TB is used for separation of plastics with various densities, primarily for film flakes, granulate from PET bottles and other rigid types of plastics. Depending on the application, floating particles like film falkes or sinking particles like PET bottle flakes are separated from other high density plastics. The standard separation tanks are ...

Environmental impact of refillable vs. non–refillable plastic beverage bottles in Norway
This research compares the environmental impact, in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, of using refillable polyethylene terephthalate (REF–PET) and non–refillable polyethylene terephthalate (NR–PET) bottles in the Norwegian soft drink and carbonated water market. A Microsoft Excel spread sheet was developed in close cooperation with Coca–Cola, Mack, Telemark Springwater, and three of the main ...
