I think most people would agree that some properties of a good water bottle are physical durability, and ability to resist corrosion (the corroded material would surely contaminate the water inside the bottle).

Aluminium, like most metals, is rather strong. If strengthened with other materials, it should easily resist hard knocks, for example.

Also, aluminum has a protective outer layer of aluminum oxide, Al2O3. Said oxide protects the aluminum from oxidation, and prevents exposure to water, which would otherwise lead to a rather vigorous chemical reaction. It can thus be concluded that the aluminum used to make the bottle is almost impervious to corrosion.

Is SODIS just as effective with glass bottles as it is with clear plastic PET bottles?

Generally speaking, glass bottles will work for the SODIS process although they are much thicker walls and generally do not allow as much UV radiation through as thin walled clear plastic PET bottles which are the container of choice. The main disadvantages of glass bottles are the weight and the fact that they can break if dropped. They are also not as plentiful in the rural areas of developing countries where this process is being targeted at the household level. Another disadvantage is the lack of screw top lids found on plastic bottles. They are more difficult to cap and prevent leakage during the process.


What is the main material used to make clear plastic bottles?

The main material used to make clear plastic bottles is polyethylene terephthalate (PET). PET is a lightweight, durable, and transparent plastic resin that is commonly used in bottle manufacturing due to its recycling capabilities and resistance to shattering.


Advantages of modern detergents?

* Detergents can produce high performance in hard water as well as salt water. * Detergents do not decompose in acids, because they are the salts of strong acids. * Detergents produce best results in acidic water too. * Detergents have high advantages and strength than soap. * During washing of clothes, normally scum is formed, but when washed with high concentrated detergents, there is no scum formation. The main advantage is this reduces repeated washing. * Detergents are produced from the petroleum products and chemicals are the main advantages, so that the need for the fatty acids and oils is greatly reduced. Hence the consumption of fatty acids and oils becomes low. * Detergents are cheaper than soaps. * Detergents are used to remove any type of dirty stains is also the main advantages. * Detergents are more soluble in water comparing soap.


What are the two main processes involved in disstilation of water?

The two main processes involved in distillation of water are evaporation and condensation. During evaporation, water is heated to its boiling point, turning into vapor and leaving behind impurities. The vapor is then collected and condensed back into liquid water by cooling it down, resulting in purified water.


Is aluminium ore a limited resource?

Bauxite is the main ore from which we get aluminum [aluminium], and of course it is limited. It happens to be relatively abundant, but it is limited nonetheless. All mineral resources are limited.

What are the advantages of a glass bottle?

The main advantage of metal water bottles over plastic is the reduction of waste by having to not recycle every bottle. Also metal water bottles tend to be substantially more durable than their plastic counterparts.
