When a drink is carbonated, the gas carbon dioxide is dissolved in water. When carbon dioxide interacts with the dissociated hydrogen molecules of the water, it forms carbonic acid, thus lowering the pH of the soft drink. Since aluminum cans may change the flavor of soda a bit, production companies may add more carbon to the solution to make it more acidic and fizzy, masking the trace flavor of metal.

This neutralized solution can then be safely disposed of according to local regulations.
