Abstract
A molded material comprising CaCO.sub.3 and/or MgCO.sub.3 is made and used as a reaction bed through which carbonated water is run to make mineral water.
Claims2
A method of producing a molded bed material for use in the production of artifical mineral water comprising the steps of:
- mixing a mineral source powder comprising 40 to 100 mole % of magnesium carbonate with an aqueous solution of a bonding material permissible as a food additive selected from the group consisting of carboxymethyl cellulose, starch, gelatin and polyvinyl alcohol in an amount of 20 to 50% by weight of said powder, the concentration of said solution being from 0.5 to 10% by weight;
- kneading the resulting wet mixture;
- molding the kneaded mixture under pressure into pellets;
- and drying said pellets at a temperature between room temperature and 850.degree.C.
