  Carbonated water - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carbonated water, also known as soda water, sparkling water, or seltzer water, is plain water into which carbon dioxide gas has been dissolved.
Club soda may be identical to plain carbonated water or it may contain a small amount of table salt, sodium citrate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, potassium sulfate, or disodium phosphate, depending on the bottler.
Carbonated water is reputed to be good for removing stains, for example coffee stains from mugs, or stains from silver.

 Carbonation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carbonation can occur as a result of natural processes: when yeast ferments dissolved sugars sealed in a pressure-tolerant bottle or keg; when underground volcanic carbon dioxide carbonates well water; or when rainwater passes through limestone into a cave and forms a stalactite.
Carbonation is sometimes used for reasons other than consumption, to lower the pH (raise the hydrogen ion concentration) of a water solution, for example.
Carbon dioxide may be naturally occurring in the beverage from fermentation or a mineral source or be artificially added.

 Dispenser with improved carbonated water manifold - Patent 4781309
A carbonated beverage dispenser has an improved carbonated water distribution manifold for evenly and reliably distributing carbonated water from a single carbonator and cooling structure to a plurality of post-mix dispensing valves without decarbonation, flow restriction, foaming or other deficiencies.
Carbonated water is a very unique and delicate substance to handle, convey and distribute, while preventing decarbonation and resultant foaming of beverage.
The carbonator is also appropriately connected to a source of carbon dioxide gas (not shown) which effects carbonation of the water in the carbonator 26 to a carbonation level in the range of 4.5 to 5.0 volumes.

 Carbonated Water Could Damage Your Teeth 6/23/04   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Researchers have warned that carbonated drinks such as sodas and iced teas could damage tooth enamel, which is the outer layer of the tooth.
Water provides the best hydration for your body and is particularly important now as the weather gets warmer and people are more inclined to spend time doing activities outdoors such as exercising.
Another great benefit of water is that it is less expensive than iced tea, soda and fruit drinks, which are virtually identical in every damaging way to soda.

 Emerson Ecologics - Carbonated Water Relieves the Symptoms of Indigestion and Constipation
By Maureen Williams, ND Healthnotes Newswire (February 20, 2003)—Carbonated water eases the symptoms of indigestion (dyspepsia) and constipation, according to a recent study in the European Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (2002;14:991—9).
In this study, carbonated water was compared with tap water for its effect on dyspepsia, constipation, and general digestive function.
The carbonated water used in this trial not only had significantly more carbon dioxide than does tap water, but also was found to have much higher levels of minerals including sodium, potassium, sulfate, fluoride, chloride, magnesium, and calcium.

 NRDC: Bottled Water: Pure Drink or Pure Hype?
While most of the tested waters were found to be of high quality, some brands were contaminated: about one-third of the waters tested contained levels of contamination -- including synthetic organic chemicals, bacteria, and arsenic -- in at least one sample that exceeded allowable limits under either state or bottled water industry standards or guidelines.
The FDA also exempts carbonated water and seltzer, and fewer than half of the states require carbonated waters to meet their own bottled water standards.
Water bottlers should be required to disclose water source, treatments and other key information as is now required of tap water systems.

 Experiments with Priestley's Soda Water   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Another option is to use a sugar-free carbonated beverage because the two primary components of the solution are water and carbon dioxide.
As the sparkling water is cooled and freezes, it releases carbon dioxide and causes the water crystals to separate as they are formed — thus forming Priestley’s soda water snow.
When the bottle is opened, carbon dioxide starts to effervesce from the solution which (a) lowers the concentration of solute and diminishes the magnitude of freezing point lowering and (b) provides nucleation sites at the surface of the bubbles for the formation of ice crystals.

 BOTTLED WATER   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Bottled waters have many different characteristics depending upon their source, be it a spring, well, or municipal supply.
Spring Water is water, whether still or sparkling, that seeps or "springs" to the earth’s surface from underground aquifers.
Some public water supplies are naturally soft; others have been softened by the exchange of sodium ions for some of the calcium or magnesium ions in the water.

 The Effect of Carbonated Water on Green Plants   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
If plants are fed carbonated water for a period of time then it should grow faster than plants given regular tap water.
The average shoot of the plants given tap water grew 67% (n = 3) of their original height, whereas the average shoot given carbonated water grew 170% (n = 3) of their original height.
Nutrients dissolved in water may be more accessible to green plants because they are easily absorbed, as opposed to absorbing nutrients through soil which involves water dispersing through the soil and then carrying nutrients to the roots.

The second paper concluded that the gas is causing changes in water chemistry that could expose corals, mollusks and drifting plankton to conditions that dissolve calcium carbonate, the building block of reefs and shells.
Sabine said the carbon dioxide measurements confirmed that the oceans have been "performing a tremendous service for humankind" by sopping up so much of the gas and thus slowing its accumulation in the atmosphere.
Over many centuries, as slowly circulating ocean waters mix, the seas will easily be able to absorb 90 percent or more of the carbon dioxide liberated by human activities, but the impacts in the short term could still disrupt marine ecology..
