Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the migration of antimony in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) beverage bottles and recycled food-grade regenerated polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) chips and the effects of food simulation solution and temperature on the migration behavior of antimony in PET beverage bottles and rPET chips. The samples of the PET beverage bottle and rPET slice were completely soaked in 4% (volume fraction) acetic acid, 10% (volume fraction), and 20% (volume fraction) ethanol food simulation solution. The antimony in the PET beverage bottle and rPET slice was quantitatively analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The effects of different food simulation solutions and temperatures on the migration diffusion coefficient were analyzed by fitting the experimental migration and the prediction curve of the migration model. Results showed that when the migration equilibrium was reached and the temperature was 60 ℃, the migration amount of antimony in rPET chips to different food simulation solutions was higher than that in PET beverage bottles to different food simulation solutions. Comparing the three food simulation solutions, the diffusion coefficient of antimony in the PET beverage bottle and rPET slice to 4% acetic acid food simulation solution was higher. At different temperatures, the experimentally measured value of antimony migration from a PET beverage bottle to 4% acetic acid fitted well with the prediction curve of the migration model (the fitting degree was more than 0.9). The higher the temperature was, the higher the diffusion coefficient was, and it conformed to the Arrhenius relationship.
