Aim: To suggest a new simple, fast, cost-effective method to separate and determine trace amount of antimony leaching from PET bottles into drinking water.
*To apply this new and simple method to other heavy metal ions, polymeric structures, and water samples.
What is PET?
|
|
PET is polyethylene terephthalate. It's a plastic resin and the most common type of polyester. Two monomers—modified ethylene glycol and purified terephthalic acid—are combined to form the polymer called polyethylene terephthalate. PET was discovered and patented in England in 1941. |
|
|
PET is the plastic labeled with the #1 code. Many beverages, food items and other consumer products are delivered in bottles or packages made from PET. The #1 code is usually found on or near the bottom of the container. |
|
|
PET makes good packages for food and non-food items. Manufacturers like it because it's safe, strong, transparent and versatile. Customers choose it for its safety, light weight, reseal ability, shatter-resistance and recyclability. |
|
|
UP TO 100% OF A PET PACKAGE CAN BE MADE FROM RECYCLED PET, AND THE MATERIAL CAN BE RECYCLED AGAIN AND AGAIN. |
PET Production
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a general-purpose plastic made through polycondensation of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) with ethylene glycol (EG).
Mn, Zn, Ti, Sn, Pb, Ge, Sb are used as catalysts.
Antimony ???
Antimony (Sb) is a metalloid element that is used as a catalyst in the form of compounds such as antimony trioxide (Sb2O3) or antimony triacetate in the production of PET.
