Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cigarette technology, and in particular to a filling material for absorbing smoke, its preparation method, and cigarettes. Background Technology

[0002] The smoke released during tobacco combustion contains approximately 7,000 known chemical substances, and nearly 10,000 compounds that have not been accurately identified, including carcinogens and suspected carcinogens present at approximately 0.2% (about 60 substances). To reduce the harm of tobacco products to consumers, attention has been focused on how to reduce the release of harmful components from tobacco smoke. Adsorption methods are characterized by low cost, simple operation, and low energy consumption. During the smoke adsorption process, the molecular weight, kinetic diameter, and physicochemical properties of the adsorbate molecules directly affect the adsorption process. Simultaneously, the adsorption process is also influenced by external adsorption conditions such as temperature and adsorbate concentration. The combination of these factors results in different affinities between the adsorbate and the adsorbent, thus affecting the adsorption rate and adsorption capacity.

[0003] Adsorption filtration is a widely studied technology both domestically and internationally. Commonly used adsorbents include activated carbon, carbon molecular sieves, carbonized polymers, polymer adsorbents, silica gel, activated alumina, clay, zeolite, and hemoglobin. While adsorption filtration has some effect, the effect is not very significant and cannot achieve highly efficient adsorption, thus failing to meet the requirement of reducing the content of harmful substances in cigarette smoke.

[0067] In this invention, plant fibers are treated with acid and alkali to remove impurities, resulting in hollow tubular plant fibers (hollow ramie fibers, hollow kapok fibers). Then, using the hollow plant fibers as a matrix, ultra-long nanowires are deposited on the hollow plant fibers (hollow ramie fibers, hollow kapok fibers) using a calcium oleate precursor solvothermal method. Some of the deposited ultra-long nanowires enter the hollow tubes of the hollow plant fibers (hollow ramie fibers, hollow kapok fibers) and overlap to form multiple spatial network structures with different pore sizes.

[0079] According to the present invention, the preferred mass ratio of sodium montmorillonite and branched polyethyleneimine is 5g:0.5mL.

[0080] 4-Carboxyphenylboronic acid, acetone, anhydrous sodium sulfate, hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin / lauroyl arginine ethyl ester hydrochloride and N-hydroxysuccinimide are mixed and stirred, and then the montmorillonite composite material described in step S2) is added and heated and stirred. After cooling, filtering, washing and drying, modified montmorillonite is obtained.

[0081] In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, after 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid and acetone are dissolved by stirring, anhydrous sodium sulfate is added and stirred for 0.5 h, then hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin / lauroyl arginine ethyl ester hydrochloride and N-hydroxysuccinimide are added, stirred at room temperature for 2 h, then montmorillonite composite material is added, heated and stirred at 60°C for 5 h, then cooled to room temperature, filtered, washed 1 to 3 times with anhydrous ethanol, and dried under reduced pressure at 40°C for 24 h to obtain modified montmorillonite.

[0082] As a preferred technical solution, in the preparation method of the modified montmorillonite, the weight ratio of the montmorillonite powder to the sodium carbonate aqueous solution is (20-5):1; preferably, the weight ratio of the montmorillonite to the sodium carbonate aqueous solution is (15-7):1; more preferably, the weight ratio of the montmorillonite to the sodium carbonate aqueous solution is 12:1.

[0083] As a preferred technical solution, in the preparation method of the modified montmorillonite, the weight ratio of the montmorillonite composite material to the 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid, the hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin / lauroyl arginine ethyl hydrochloride, and the N-hydroxysuccinimide is 1:(1-3):(1-5):(3-10); preferably, the weight ratio of the montmorillonite composite material to the 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid, the hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin / lauroyl arginine ethyl hydrochloride, and the N-hydroxysuccinimide is 1:(1-2):(2-4):(4-7); more preferably, the weight ratio of the montmorillonite composite material to the 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid, the hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin / lauroyl arginine ethyl hydrochloride, and the N-hydroxysuccinimide is 1:1.5:3:6.

[0084] According to the present invention, the preparation method of the hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin / lauroyl arginine ethyl ester hydrochloride is as follows:

[0085] Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and lauroyl arginine ethyl ester hydrochloride were stirred and reacted, refrigerated overnight, and then freeze-dried to obtain solid hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin / lauroyl arginine ethyl ester hydrochloride.

[0086] In some preferred embodiments, the hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin / lauroyl arginine ethyl ester hydrochloride can be prepared by the following method:

[0087] 3% w / v hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin powder (purchased from Shanghai Aladdin Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd.) was added to pure water and magnetically stirred at 700 rpm at room temperature until completely dissolved. Then, 1% w / v lauroyl arginine ethyl hydrochloride powder (purchased from Beijing Huawi Ruike Chemical Co., Ltd.) was added (the molar ratio of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin to lauroyl arginine ethyl hydrochloride was 1:1). The reaction was carried out by magnetic stirring at 60℃ and 700 rpm for 5 h to obtain a hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin / lauroyl arginine ethyl hydrochloride solution. After being refrigerated at -20℃ overnight, it was freeze-dried at -80℃ for 48 h to obtain solid hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin / lauroyl arginine ethyl hydrochloride.

[0088] The montmorillonite composite material (phenylboronic acid functionalized polyethyleneimine intercalated montmorillonite) of the present invention not only retains the original layered structure of montmorillonite, but also expands the interlayer space of montmorillonite after intercalation and amidation reactions, which is beneficial to the diffusion of flue gas.

[0089] Compared with montmorillonite, modified montmorillonite has thickened and curled fault edges, reduced specific surface area, increased average pore size, and abundant hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. Therefore, it can be adsorbed through the superposition of electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonds, and π-π bonds, and thus achieve rapid adsorption of flue gas through multiple synergistic effects.

Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin / lauroyl arginine ethyl ester hydrochloride possesses abundant hydroxyl groups and exhibits Lewis acid activity; therefore, modified montmorillonite exhibits a combined adsorption capacity for alkaline and acidic substances in cigarette smoke.

[0091] This invention provides a method for preparing the filling material for adsorbing flue gas as described in any one of the above technical solutions, comprising:

[0092] The modified plant fiber, adsorbent substrate, adhesive, and water are thoroughly mixed and granulated to obtain the final product.

[0097] The present invention provides a cigarette, including the cigarette filter described in the above technical solution.

[0098] The present invention modifies the internal structure of plant fibers to construct a three-dimensional network structure, which allows modified montmorillonite to be embedded in the pores of different sizes in the three-dimensional network structure, thereby fixing the modified montmorillonite.

[0099] A montmorillonite composite material (phenylboronic acid functionalized polyethyleneimine intercalated montmorillonite) was successfully synthesized through intercalation and amidation. This material retains the original layered structure of montmorillonite while expanding the interlayer space, which is beneficial for flue gas diffusion.

[0100] Modified montmorillonite adsorbs flue gas through the superposition of electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonds, and π-π bonds, thereby achieving rapid adsorption through multiple synergistic effects.

[0101] Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin / lauroyl arginine ethyl ester hydrochloride has abundant hydroxyl groups and Lewis acid activity. Therefore, modified montmorillonite has a combined adsorption effect on alkaline and acidic substances in cigarette smoke.
