Definitions

  • the present invention relates to methods and installations for treating cork.
  • corks The world of wine has long used corks to seal wine bottles. This use is mainly because the cork has all the characteristics that one can ask for a wine bottle stopper.
  • cork One of the rare disadvantages of cork is the possible presence of chlorinated compounds, such as 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA) which can sometimes give a wine which is commonly known as 'taste of corks'.
  • TCA 2,4,6-trichloroanisole
  • the present invention is intended in particular to provide an improved method of treating cork.
  • a cork stopper processing method in which the cork is subjected to electrochemical dehalogenation by electrolysis.
  • the invention relates to a bottling process in which such a cork processing method is used, and in which a bottle is closed with one of said plugs.
  • the invention relates to an installation comprising a cork supply unit, and an electrochemical station where the cork is subjected to an electrochemical dehalogenation by electrolysis, the installation further comprising a curing station. plugs the installation further optionally comprising a corking station where a bottle of wine is plugged with a stopper.
  • corks of other liquids than wine can be treated with this process, including corks of other alcohols such as beer or cider, for example.
  • the figure 1 represents an example of a dehalogenation station 1.
  • the station 1 comprises for example a tank 2 containing a liquid solution 3 in which are quenched parts 4 to be treated. As examples, two pieces 4 are shown. We can process between one and many rooms simultaneously. A lid or grid 5 is disposed on the surface of the solution, to ensure that the parts 4 are immersed in their entirety.
  • the electrolytic system comprises solution 3, an anode 6, a cathode 7 and an electric generator 8.
  • the electrical generator 8 is adapted to circulate an electric current in the solution between the anode and the cathode.
  • Pieces 4 are made of cork.
  • Cork is a natural material obtained from growing trees, such as cork oak.
  • the pieces 4 may also comprise a chlorinated compound, such as for example a haloanisole or a halophenol.
  • haloanisoles present in cork are, for example, 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA), 2,3,4,6-tetrachloroanisole (TeCA), 2,3,4,5,6-pentachloroanisole (PCA), and 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (TBA).
  • halophenols present in cork are, for example, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP), 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol (TeCP), 2,3,4,5,6-pentachlorophenol (PCP) and 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP).
  • TCP 2,4,6-trichlorophenol
  • TeCP 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol
  • PCP 2,3,4,5,6-pentachlorophenol
  • TBP 2,4,6-tribromophenol
  • the parts 4 are plugs having shapes adapted to plug bottles, especially bottles of wine.
  • a cap may be substantially cylindrical of revolution, as shown.
  • the cylinder has an axis oriented along the axis of the neck of the bottle, and an outer diameter transverse to the upper axis, at rest, the internal diameter of the neck of the bottle.
  • the plugs may have shapes more complex, in particular having a frustoconical foot and / or a head made of material with the foot, and wider than this, extending out of the bottle clogged.
  • Solution 3 comprises a solvent and an electrolyte.
  • the materials of the various elements in particular solvent, electrolyte, surface of the electrodes, surface of the grid and / or surface of the tank) are intended not to negatively influence the wine. Thus, it will be possible to choose bio-compatible materials, and in particular compatible with wine.
  • the solvent may for example be an alcohol, for example ethanol.
  • the electrolyte may for example be a salt present in the future content of the bottles to be closed.
  • the electrolyte may thus be a salt present in this wine, such as for example a sodium salt.
  • a salt present in this wine such as for example a sodium salt.
  • an acetate or sodium tartrate are electrolytes likely to be suitable for this application.
  • the surface materials of the electrodes are preferably inert. Thus, it will be possible to use graphite on the surface of the anode 6. It will be possible to use lead on the cathode surface.
  • step 101 cork, for example in raw form, is received at a receiving station.
  • step 102 plugs (F) are formed from the raw cork into a forming station.
  • This step may include any usual step of forming corks from raw cork, such as cork treatments, in particular chemical cork, and cork shaping by any suitable method.
  • a third step 103 the plugs formed in a treatment station are dehalogenated. As indicated above in relation to the figure 1 the plugs are immersed as pieces 4 in the solution, these being kept completely immersed by the grid 5. An electric current is generated in the solution using the generator 8, so as to electrolyze the chlorinated compounds of the plugs. This step is carried out for a certain time. Periodically, a control step 104 (C) of the amount of chlorinated compounds is carried out. This step can be implemented by any suitable known means. If necessary, this control step is associated with a predetermined threshold which makes it possible to stop the electrolysis step. This control step is optional.
  • the full bottle is closed (E) with the treated stopper at a bottling station.
  • E the full bottle
  • the electrolysis step is not carried out on the already formed plugs.
  • the electrochemical dehalogenation step 103 is carried out on parts 4 from which the plugs will be formed during a subsequent forming step 102.
  • the figure 2 thus shows an example of control of the amount of chlorinated compounds (in this case TCA) dissolved in a solution during an electrolysis process.
  • the solid curve shows the UV absorbance of the solution as a function of the wavelength at the beginning of the electrolysis (time t 0 ), and the dashed curve after a predetermined time t 1 .
  • an electrolysis bath was synthesized with a tartrate salt (sodium tartrate) dissolved in ethanol to saturation, with addition of TCA 10 -4 M.
  • the electrolysis is carried out on graphite electrodes at a constant potential of 50 V.
  • the current was of the order of 240 micro-amperes.
  • the time t 0 is 0 and the time t 1 is 62 hours.
  • the absorbance decreased by about 25% (the amount of charge required was 53.6 coulombs).
