Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tobacco materials, and in particular to functional particles having the functions of cooling and reducing harm. Background Art
[0002] Heat-not-burn cigarettes use external heating elements at 200-400°C to produce smoke without burning tobacco. This type of tobacco product has good development prospects because its smoke contains relatively few harmful substances and is close to the physiological feelings and smoking methods of traditional cigarettes.
[0003] However, due to the relatively small size and short cigarette length of heat-not-burn cigarettes, the inlet temperature of the smoke is relatively high. The suitable temperature for the human oral cavity is 10-40°C. On the one hand, there will be discomfort when the smoke temperature exceeds 40°C, and burning pain on the tip of the tongue will be felt when it exceeds 50°C; on the other hand, excessively high filter temperature will also affect the filter's interception effect on smoke aerosol particles, thereby having a certain impact on the sensory quality of the smoke. At present, the cooling method is mainly based on structure and materials, and the materials are heat-absorbing materials, heat-storing materials, heat-conducting materials, etc. to achieve the transfer of smoke heat. However, the current cooling method ignores the effect of moisture in smoke with higher specific heat capacity on the cooling effect. The specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4.2×10 3 (J / kg·℃) is a natural and efficient heat storage material. As smoke enters the mouth, the moisture in the smoke will release heat and affect the temperature of the mouth. Summary of the invention
[0004] In order to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the inventor of the present application considered introducing a water-absorbing material to remove moisture from the smoke; at the same time, the porous structure of the water-absorbing material can also have the function of reducing harm. Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a design, preparation, and application method of a granular material with both cooling and harm reduction functions. Specifically, in order to reduce the temperature stimulation of mainstream smoke to the human oral cavity and improve the comfort of consumers' cigarette smoking, the present invention adopts phase change materials and water-absorbing materials as substrates, and utilizes its phase change mechanism, high specific heat capacity and porous structure to design and develop a material with both cooling and harm reduction functions, which can be used in filter materials for heat-not-burn cigarettes and traditional cigarettes.

[0018] In some embodiments, when the dispersant is a mixed solution of water and ethanol, the concentration of ethanol in the mixed solution is 40% to 60% (eg, 50%).

[0031] 2.

[0032] 3.

In the method of the present invention, the weight ratio of the phase change material and the water absorbing material has a significant impact on the technical effect of the present invention. The weight ratio of the phase change material and the water absorbing material needs to be controlled within an appropriate range and cannot be adjusted at will. If the weight ratio of the phase change material and the water absorbing material in the method of the present invention is too large (such as a weight ratio of 10:1), the flue gas outlet temperature will increase significantly.

[0092] Analysis and testing example 1 : Puff testing of heat-not-burn cigarettes
[0093] (1) The detection method of smoke outlet temperature is as follows: Use a heating cigarette device adaptability detection device (Qingdao Yizhong Technology Co., Ltd.) to smoke heated cigarettes. The start time of smoking is 20 seconds after the smoking device triggers heating. The interval between each puff is 20 seconds, the duration of puff is 2 seconds, the puff volume per puff is 35 mL, the puff airflow is square wave, and the smoke is captured using Cambridge filters. Each filter captures the total smoke of 5 cigarettes and calculates the average value. The total number of puffs is 5. The thermocouple is placed 2 mm from the mouthpiece, and the dynamic temperature sampling frequency is 10 Hz. Each group of samples is repeated 5 times, and the final result average is calculated.
[0094] (2) Conventional smoke components (total particulate matter, tar, moisture, and nicotine) were tested in accordance with the analysis method of GB / T19609-2004.
[0095] (3) The detection method of propylene glycol and glycerol is as follows: put the aspirated filter into a 5mL conical flask, add 20mL of isopropanol solution containing anhydrous ethanol (internal standard, mass concentration of 0.3mg / mL) and n-heptadecane (internal standard, mass concentration of 0.2mg / mL), shake and extract for 30min, take 1mL of the extract and put it into a chromatographic bottle for GC detection. The analysis conditions of GC are: injection port temperature: 250℃; injection volume: 1.0μL; temperature program: keep at 110℃ for 1min, then increase to 150℃ at a rate of 10℃ / min and keep for 3min; then increase to 220℃ at a rate of 30℃ / min and keep for 5min; detector temperature: 250℃; carrier gas: helium, purity ≥99.999%, flow rate: 0.7mL / min; split injection, split ratio is 20:1.
[0096] The results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0097] Table 1
[0098]

[0100] At the same time, from the comparison results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 7 in Table 1 above, it can be seen that if the water-absorbing material of the present invention is replaced with sugar alcohols (such as xylitol), the smoke outlet temperature will increase significantly. It can be seen that the selection of water-absorbing materials has a significant impact on the technical effect of the present invention, and the type of water-absorbing materials cannot be selected arbitrarily.
[0101] In addition, from the comparison results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 8 in Table 1 above, it can be seen that if the weight ratio of the phase change material and the water absorbing material of the present invention is too large (such as a weight ratio of 10:1), the flue gas outlet temperature will increase significantly. It can be seen that the weight ratio of the phase change material and the water absorbing material has a significant impact on the technical effect of the present invention, and the weight ratio of the phase change material and the water absorbing material needs to be controlled within an appropriate range and cannot be adjusted at will.
[0102] Analysis and Testing Example 2 :Puffing test of traditional cigarettes
[0103] (1) Smoke outlet temperature detection method: A heated cigarette was smoked using a heating device adaptability detection device (Qingdao Yizhong Technology Co., Ltd.). The smoking start time was 20 seconds after the smoking device triggered the heating, the interval between each puff was 20 seconds, the puff duration was 2 seconds, the puff volume per puff was 35 mL, the puff airflow was square wave, and the smoke was captured using a Cambridge filter. Each filter captured the total smoke of 5 cigarettes and calculated the average value. The total number of puffs was 5. The thermocouple was placed 2 mm from the mouthpiece, and the dynamic temperature sampling frequency was 10 Hz. Each group of samples was repeated 5 times, and the final result average was calculated.
[0104] (2) Detection method of mainstream cigarette smoke components (tar, CO): Test according to the analysis method of GB / T19609-2004.
[0105] (3) Evaluation of the hazard reduction indicators hydrogen cyanide (i.e., hydrocyanic acid) and benzo(α)pyrene (i.e., BaP): The tests were conducted in accordance with the analytical methods of YC / T 253-2019 and GB / T21130-2007, respectively.
[0106] (4) Calculation of hazard index: see Xie Jianping, Liu Huimin, Zhu Maoxiang et al. Study on hazard index of cigarette smoke. Tobacco Science and Technology, 2009.
[0107] The results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0109]
[0110]
[0111] From the comparison results of Example 3 and Example 4 with Comparative Example 4 in Table 2 above, it can be seen that, compared with smoking a conventional cigarette without any particles, when a conventional cigarette with particles prepared by the embodiments of the present invention added is smoked, the smoke outlet temperature can be reduced by more than 16°C, and the harmful components are reduced.
