decarbonated

No longer bubbly

Decarbonated describes something that has had its carbon dioxide removed.

The word usually applies to beverages that were once fizzy but have gone flat or had the bubbles deliberately removed: The decarbonated soda tasted syrupy and wrong.

Less commonly, it refers to industrial processes that remove carbon compounds from materials.
