Used beverage containers

Well-charged melters rarely have problems with oxides. Continuous flux fed into sidewall furnaces causes trouble. Use an even feed rate, and make sure that no one uses excessive flux. Good flux immersion practice permits no large clumps (which may float to the surface and vaporize immediately). Excessive amounts of flux must be avoided. Metal can recyclers must take care to feed flux continuously with a shredded used beverage containers (UBC) charge. With a liquid-metal recirculating pump, the vortex at the liquid surface is a place to feed a stream of chopped UBC. 

UBC or ubc=used beverage containers—a major source for some aluminum melting operations. 

Aluminum dross comes either from skimmed product during primary aluminum smelting or from the melting of aluminum scrap such as used beverage containers, aluminum siding, castings, and the like and treating the melt with salt fluxes. 

Flavors. Flavor is the most important attribute of a carbonated beverage. Most carbonated beverages contain complex mixtures of different flavors produced ia several commercial forms as alcohoHc solutions, emulsions, and concentrates. The majority of flavors used ia carbonated beverages are derived from natural sources. 

Sihcate glass is a familiar, ubiquitous material, used in beverage containers, window panes, and automobile windshields. Increasingly, however, unusual glasses are being employed in high technology appHcations. 

Plastics. Citric acid and bicarbonate are used as an effervescent blowing agent to foam polystyrene for insulated food and beverage containers replacing blowing agents such as chlorinated fluorocarbons (194—206). 

The first well-known LCA study was funded by Coca-Cola in 1969. Its purpose was to compare resource consumption and emissions associated with beverage containers. During the energy crisis, several studies were performed with an emphasis on energy. Before 1990, LCA studies dealt mainly with emissions and use of resources and were limited to technical systems. 

TFS-CT or TFS-CCO is a primary material for cemented and welded beer and carbonated beverage containers (20-22) and can be used in sanitary food cans. It is currently used for ends on soldered sanitary food cans and is a candidate for drawn containers which do not require soldering. 

Oral liquid concentrates are available for use in patients who can more easily swallow a liquid. These concentrates are light sensitive and dispensed in amber or opaque bottles to help protect the concentrate from light. They are administered mixed in liquids such as fruit juices, tomato juice, milk, or carbonated beverages. Semisolid foods, such as soups or puddingy, may also be used. Perphenazine (Trilafon) concentrate should not be mixed with beverages containing caffeine (coffee, cola), tea, or apple juice because of the risk of incompatibility. 

Zoumas et al.30 presented work on the use of this method in the determination of caffeine and theobromine in various chocolate-containing products, while Blauch and Tarka31 reported the use of a similar method for the determination of caffeine and theobromine in various beverages containing these methylxanthines. 

Eating, drinking, or smoking in the laboratory is never allowed. Never use laboratory containers (beakers or flasks) to drink beverages. 

Simple applicability of sweeteners is desirable. Good solubility in water generally facilitates application as many foods, and, of course, beverages contain substantial amounts of water. High solubility allows use of the sweeteners in stock solutions, which is advantageous for simple dosing and blending. 

Bisphenol A is present in certain plastics used as food and beverage containers. The EPA has established an RfD for this important product... 

Methacrylonitrile (1) differs from 2 only in that it has a methyl (CH3) group on the a-carbon atom. It too is widely used in the preparation of homopolymers and copolymers, elastomers, and plastics and as a chemical intermediate in the preparation of acids, amides, amines, esters, and other nitriles. In a study conducted by the NTP in which 1 was administered orally to mice for 2 years, there was no evidence that it caused cancer, although other less serious toxic effects were noted [27]. Because 1 does not cause cancer, but undergoes many of the same nucleophilic addition reactions as 2 at the (3-carbon, it is sometimes used as a safer commercial replacement for 2, such as in the manufacture of an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene-like polymer that provides improved barrier properties to gases such as carbon dioxide in carbonated beverage containers. 

A federal law requires warning labels on alcoholic beverage containers. They state that women should not drink during pregnancy due to the risk of birth defects, and that alcoholic beverages impair your ability to drive a car or operate machinery and may cause other health problems. Lower costs and the availability of a smokable version leads to a resurgence in heroin use. 

Caffeine (40 R1 = R2 = R3 = Me) is a powerful CNS stimulant, and the other xanthines theophylline and theobromine have rather less activity. The popularity of beverages containing xanthines depends on this stimulant effect. Caffeine is useful in morphine poisoning.
