Beverage carbonation devices

A beverage carbonation device which comprises a container, a dry beverage mix, and an amount effective to carbonate a beverage of a porous crystalline aluminosilicate material having adsorbed therein an amount of carbon dioxide equal to at least about 5% by weight of said aluminosilicate material;

• said aluminosilicate material and dry beverage mix being enclosed in the container with said aluminosilicate material being affixed to the inside surfaces of said container;
• whereby when the container is filled with a beverage-making liquid, making contact with said aluminosilicate material, said adsorbed carbon dioxide is released to provide beverage carbonation.

A beverage carbonation device which comprises a container, a dry beverage mix, and an amount effective to carbonate a beverage of a single molded block of porous crystalline aluminosilicate material having adsorbed therein an amount of carbon dioxide equal to at least 5% by weight of said crystalline aluminosilicate material, said block having a thickness of from about 0.001 inch to about 3 inches;

• said block and dry beverage mix being enclosed in said container with said block being affixed in said container;
• whereby when a beverage-making liquid is introduced in said container making contact with said block, said adsorbed carbon dioxide is released to provide beverage carbonation.

A beverage carbonation device which comprises a container having therein an open carbonation chamber containing a dry beverage mix, an amount effective to carbonate a beverage of a porous crystalline aluminosilicate material and carbon dioxide for beverage carbonation;

• said crystalline aluminosilicate material having adsorbed therein at least 5% by weight of said carbon dioxide, said carbonation chamber having a screening means affixed therein to prevent passage of the crystalline aluminosilicate material from said carbonation chamber;
• whereby when said container is filled with a beverage liquid making contact with said aluminosilicate material, said adsorbed carbon dioxide is released to provide beverage carbonation.

A package comprising a two-compartmented bag, one compartment of said bag containing a potable aqueous solution and the other compartment of said bag containing an effective amount to carbonate the potable solution of porous crystalline aluminosilicate material, said material having absorbed therein at least about 5% by weight of carbon dioxide.
