The principal use of the fiber is in industrial and marine cordage, twines, tea and coffee bags, sausage casing and other forms of paper small amounts are also used as place or floor mats, carpet backing, and other products of the craft industry in the Philippines. 

Lithium-polymer batteries, that is, batteries with polymer electrolyte are generally manufactured in the form of thin flat elastic products with a simple plastic casing ( coffee bag ) instead of a metallic case. 

A reversible lithium-air system was first implemented on a laboratory scale in 1996. In this cell, the gel-polymer electrolyte was pressed between lithium foil on the one side and an air electrode on the other. (Later, usual liquid electrolyte in a porous, for example, glass fabric, separator was often used in lithium-air batteries). The whole cell was sealed into a plastic container ( coffee bag ) and small holes were made in the container wall adjacent to the air electrode to supply air under discharge and remove oxygen under charging. The air electrode was made of a mixture of particles of polymer electrolyte and carbon black with the catalyst supported on its surface (cobalt phthalocyanine). 

At present, lithium-sulfur batteries are at the pilot production stage. Flat batteries in flexible cases ( coffee bag ) are produced wifh the capacity of several ampere-hours and energy density of 350 - 400 Wh/kg. 

The cell is compacted by light mechanical pressure and housed in an aluminium coffee bag envelope. Finally, the envelope is sealed under vacuum so that the LPB prototype can be safely removed from the dry room for its final utilization (Figure 6.14).

Plant fibers are currently only used in the interior of passenger cars and truck cabins. Besides their use in trim parts such as door panels or cabin linings, plant fibers are used extensively for thermo-acoustic insulation. Such insulating materials, mainly based on cotton fibers recycled from textiles, have relatively high fiber content of more than 80% by weight. Trim parts in Brazilian trucks, made of a mixture of jute, coffee bag wastes, and polypropylene bags show that recycling...

The SiNW electrode is in mechanical contact with the separator soaked with the electrolyte (Fig. 1.5a). When these electrodes are assembled into "coffee bag" pouch cells (Fig. 1.5b), a slight amount of pressure is applied to cell, which causes the NWs to lie down mostly parallel to the substrate. As shown in Fig. 1.4c, which was obtained by disassembling the cell after a measurement, the electrode appears as a dense mass of wires packed together between the separator and the substrate.

Caffeine. About 3% by weight of the roasted coffee bean is caffeine (16). The second U.S. Department of Agriculture world coffee crop estimate for 1988—1989 was 4.24 x 10 kg (93.3 million 100-lb bags) (102). World coffee consumption was predicted to rise in the foreseeable future at the rate of 1—2% per year and thus the total amount of caffeine and related alkaloids ingested from this source can also be expected to increase. Caffeine and related bases (eg, theophylline) are also found in various teas but, because most of the major producers (India, China, etc) export relatively Htfle of thek crops and keep most for domestic consumption, accurate figures on year-to-year production are more difficult to obtain. Nevertheless, these crops are of significant economic import (103). 

Nylon films are used in lamination or coated form to ensure heat sealabiHty and enhance barrier properties. The largest uses are as thermoforming webs for twin-web processed meat and cheese packagiag under vacuum or in an inert atmosphere. Other uses include bags for red meat, boil-ia-bags, bag-in-box for wine, and as the outer protective layer for aluminum foil in cookie and vacuum coffee packages. 

Coffee vacuum-packed in flexible, bag-in-box packages has gained wide acceptance in Europe. The inner liner, usually a plastic-laminated foil, is formed into a hard brick shape during the vacuum process (30). In the United States, a printed multilaminated flexible stmcture is used to form the brick pack which is sold as is at retail. These types of packages provide a barrier to moisture and oxygen similar to that of a metal can. 

Spray Drying and Agglomeration. Most instant coffee products are spray-dried. Stainless steel towers with a concurrent flow of hot ak and atomized extract droplets are utilized for this purpose. Atomization, through pressure nozzles, is controUed based on selection of the nozzles, properties of the extract, pressures used, bulk density, and capacity requkements. Low inlet ak temperatures (200—280°C) are preferred for best flavor quaHty. The spray towers must be provided with adequate dust coUection systems such as cyclones or bag filters. The dried particles are coUected from the conical bottom of the spray drier through a rotary valve and conveyed to bulk storage bins or packaging lines. Processors may screen the dry product to... 

In 1990, the United States import from producing countries totaled 21 million bags of green coffee equivalent (Table 5). This includes 19.6 million bags of green coffee, 0.2 million bags of roasted coffee, and 1.2 million bags of soluble coffee with a total value of 1.9 biUion (42). More than 79% of this import came from countries in the western hemisphere.

I have a long, hot bath, and unpack my small bag from our little trip. Not many clean clothes left, but enough for today jeans and a sweater. I tidy up, put some washing on. It s three by the time I m drinking coffee and eating toast, and I think I m fully awake, but the phone ringing makes me jump almost out of my skin. I pick up the receiver. Perhaps it s. ..
