Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of tobacco, and particularly relates to a reconstituted tobacco leaf, a preparation method thereof, and uses thereof. Background Art
[0002] Existing heat-not-burn aerosol products usually use reconstituted tobacco leaves or tobacco particles as an aerosol-forming matrix. The slurry process and the papermaking process are the main methods for producing the existing reconstituted tobacco leaves used in heat-not-burn aerosol products. The slurry process requires drying to remove a large amount of water, resulting in high process energy consumption; the finished product is brittle, has low strength, and high reconstitution losses are generated during cutting. The papermaking process causes serious loss of flavor substances in the finished product, and also requires a large amount of energy for drying and removing water, and the drying process is complex.
[0003] Existing aerosol products commonly use induction heating to atomize the required components in the aerosol-forming matrix from the product to form an inhalable aerosol. In existing induction heating type aerosol products, the inductor is a separate component and transfers its induced heat to the whole of the aerosol-forming matrix by local contact (central type) or non-contact (circumferential type) with the aerosol-forming matrix. The disadvantage of central heating is that the induced heat of the inductor is transferred from the center of the aerosol-forming matrix in contact with it to its periphery, and the heat significantly attenuates from the inside to the outside; the disadvantage of circumferential heating is that the induced heat of the inductor penetrates through the outer periphery of the wrapping material of the aerosol-forming matrix in contact with it and then transfers to the center of the aerosol-forming matrix, and the heat significantly attenuates from the outside to the inside. Therefore, in order to achieve the desired atomization effect of the aerosol-forming matrix, it is necessary to extend the preheating time of the product and increase the maximum heating temperature, and then increase the output power of the inductor. The adverse effects brought about by this include low thermal utilization efficiency of the aerosol-forming matrix, uneven heat distribution, and increased energy consumption of the heating device for heating the aerosol product.
[0004] Therefore, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0054] The third aspect of the present invention discloses the use of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaf as a matrix for forming a magnetic aerosol.
[0055] The magnetic reconstituted tobacco for a magnetic aerosol forming substrate of the present invention comprises a magnetic reconstituted tobacco foil and magnetic reconstituted tobacco particles; the magnetic reconstituted tobacco contains a tobacco mixture, nanofibers and a magnetic material; the nanofibers can be wood nanofibers and / or tobacco nanofibers; the nanofibers can be other plant nanofibers; the diameters and lengths of the nanofibers are 5 - 100 nm and 1 - 10 μm respectively.
[0056] The magnetic material is any material that can be converted into heat after absorbing an alternating magnetic field, such as ferromagnetic materials or ferrimagnetic materials; specifically, such as iron or iron alloys such as stainless steel, nickel, nickel alloys such as the corrosion-resistant Fe-Ni-Cr alloy, etc.; preferably, the magnetic material is a magnetic nanomaterial, such as nanoparticles, nanosheets, nanospheres, nanorods, nanotubes, nanowires, etc., especially nanoparticles and / or nanowires; the nanoparticles and / or nanowires include but are not limited to materials and their alloys such as nickel, cobalt, iron-nickel, cobalt-nickel, cobalt-iron, iron-cobalt-nickel, iron-molybdenum-nickel, etc.; the magnetic material is preferably magnetic nanowires. Its length is 5 - 100 μm and the average diameter is 5 - 500 nm.
[0057] The magnetic reconstituted tobacco foil is obtained by extrusion and rolling of a tobacco mixture, nanofibers and magnetic nanomaterials; the magnetic reconstituted tobacco particles are obtained by extrusion, granulation and screening of a tobacco mixture, nanofibers and magnetic nanomaterials; the preparation method of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco includes: forming a dough-like substance of tobacco, nanofibers and magnetic nanomaterials; adding a surfactant such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to the mixture of tobacco, nanofibers and magnetic nanomaterials to facilitate the combination of the magnetic nanomaterials and the nanofibers; adopting a method of continuously vacuum-assisted filtering of the nanofiber dispersion and the magnetic nanomaterial suspension to obtain a composite gel of nanofibers and magnetic nanomaterials; through the extrusion process of the dough-like substance, the magnetic nanomaterials form interconnected magnetic conduction paths through hot extrusion and form a tight combination with the extruded reconstituted tobacco embryo; applying temperature to the rolling rollers, the magnetic nanomaterials form interconnected magnetic conduction paths through hot lamination or further nanowelding and form a closer combination with the whole reconstituted tobacco to obtain a reconstituted tobacco foil; the thickness of the foil can be controlled by adjusting the rolling roller distance; the obtained magnetic reconstituted tobacco foil can be wound into a roll, sliced or shredded, and is used in a magnetic aerosol forming substrate after subsequent processing. The tobacco material can be tobacco powder, debris, tobacco stems, etc.
[0058] The magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaf foil is used for an aerosol-forming substrate, which can be wound into a roll, sliced or shredded, and is formed into an aerosol-forming substrate through subsequent processing; the magnetic aerosol-forming substrate contains materials that can be atomized to form an inhalable aerosol at an appropriate temperature, and the aerosol formed by atomization contains an atomizing agent, a flavor substance and / or nicotine, and may also contain other inhalable components. The magnetic aerosol-forming substrate and the wrapping material are combined into an aerosol generation section, and then combined with other parts including a support section, a cooling section and a filter section to form an aerosol product.
[0059] Advantages of the present invention:
[0060] In the method for preparing the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaf of the present invention, during the process of the dough-like material being extruded by an extruder, the heater on the extruder can heat the dough-like material through heat conduction. In addition, during the movement process, the dough-like material rubs and shears with the barrel, screw of the extruder and the dough-like material itself, generating a large amount of heat, which causes the magnetic nanomaterials in the preform to undergo hot extrusion. When the extruded preform is hot-pressed into a foil on a rolling mill, the magnetic nanomaterials therein further undergo hot lamination and nano-welding; hot lamination and nano-welding can completely remove the surfactant components (such as PVP) wrapped around the periphery of the magnetic nanowires and sinter the magnetic nanowire joints, significantly reducing the contact resistance, constructing an interconnected, strong and stable magnetic nanowire magnetic conduction path and eddy current network, and at the same time significantly improving the tensile strength of the reconstituted tobacco leaf foil; hot lamination and nano-welding can also significantly increase the heating temperature of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaf foil, because the resistance is significantly reduced after welding, resulting in an increase in the induced eddy current and electron transport ability inside the reconstituted tobacco leaf foil; nano-welding can improve the induction heating performance without increasing the content of magnetic nanowires, reducing the use cost of magnetic materials.
[0061] The preparation method of the present invention involves continuous high-pressure homogenization multiple times (generally not less than three times), enabling the uniform and firm dispersion of nanofibers and magnetic nanomaterials into the reconstituted tobacco substrate; vacuum-assisted filtration facilitates the formation of an entangled network of nanofibers through hydrogen bonds, thereby obtaining a super-strong rigid nanostructure with high thermal stability and high transparency, further enhancing the high-temperature resistance and mechanical strength of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco; adding surfactants such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) during the manufacturing process can coat magnetic nanomaterials such as magnetic nanowires. Through the strong hydrogen bond interaction between the carbonyl group of the additive and the hydroxyl group of the nanofibers, the magnetic nanowires partially wrapped by cellulose play a skeletal role, promoting load transfer and energy dissipation during the stretching process of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco, dispersing stress, and obtaining excellent mechanical properties and structural stability; multi-stage thermal lamination and nano-welding can completely remove the surfactant components (such as PVP) wrapped around the periphery of the magnetic nanowires and sinter the magnetic nanowire joints, significantly reducing the contact resistance, constructing an interconnected, firm, and stable magnetic nanowire magnetic conduction path and eddy current network, and simultaneously greatly increasing the tensile strength of the reconstituted tobacco; multi-stage thermal lamination and nano-welding can also significantly increase the heating temperature of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco because the resistance decreases significantly after welding, resulting in an increase in the induced eddy current and electron transport ability inside the reconstituted tobacco. Nano-welding can improve the induction heating performance without increasing the content of magnetic nanowires, reducing the usage cost of magnetic materials.
[0062] Compared with the traditional papermaking method and the thick slurry method for reconstituted tobacco production processes, the manufacturing processes of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco foil and reconstituted tobacco particles of the present invention require less water, the drying process is significantly reduced, and the production energy consumption is lowered. Since the foil dries faster, the finished reconstituted tobacco has a stronger retention capacity for flavor substances and nicotine, can use less binder, reducing the impact of unpleasant odors generated during the heating process of aerosol products on the smoking flavor. By precisely adjusting the roller gap of the rolling mill, the thickness of the finished reconstituted tobacco can be made uniformly controllable, and the accuracy and stability of its thickness help to ensure the consistency of downstream processes and help to ensure that important product indicators such as nicotine content are within the specified range; due to the increased stability and reliability of the reconstituted tobacco, the working stability of the heating device is also greatly improved. In the preparation method of the present invention, the drying and preheating of tobacco debris and fibers are not necessary; due to the material bonding effect of the extrusion molding process itself, the amount of binder can be significantly reduced. Therefore, the raw material and production costs can be further reduced. The tobacco materials used in the present invention can be tobacco powder, debris, tobacco stems, etc., which can reduce the cost of using pure tobacco leaves as raw materials for traditional particulate aerosol products. The preparation method of the present invention uses the same raw materials and extrusion process to prepare the preforms required for the reconstituted tobacco foil and reconstituted tobacco particles, saving the floor area and capital investment of production equipment, and facilitating the synchronous manufacture of two types of products, namely reconstituted tobacco foil and reconstituted tobacco particles.
[0063] The fiber material of the present invention is cellulose fiber and / or tobacco fiber material, and the flexible nanofibers are entangled with each other so that they can create a nanoscale network; on the one hand, the strength of the fiber network is enhanced by increasing the number of hydrogen bonds between each fiber (fibril) or fibers; on the other hand, the nanofibers with small size, high surface area and flexibility can naturally increase the strength of the network; thus, the nanofibers can successfully improve the tensile strength of reconstituted tobacco leaves; at the same time, the highly active hydroxyl groups in the nanofibers can be modified by chemical and physical treatment to obtain the desired properties, such as increasing their adhesion to magnetic materials.
[0064] The magnetic reconstituted tobacco of the present invention has excellent mechanical properties, thermal stability, flexibility (foil) and porosity; the ferromagnetic nanowires have a high aspect ratio and excellent mechanical properties, which are advantageous for forming flexible magnetic conductive circuits and eddy current networks; the magnetic reconstituted tobacco of the present invention has the characteristics of low driving voltage, rapid heating and high heating temperature, which can meet the requirements of energy saving, rapid heating and instant use when using aerosol products. When the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaves of the present invention are used in a magnetic aerosol-forming matrix, the magnetic material therein acts as a receptor, uniformly distributed throughout the aerosol-forming matrix and forming a magnetic conductive path. This is different from existing induction heating aerosol products in which the receptor is a separate component and transfers its induced heat to the entire aerosol-forming matrix through local contact (central type) or non-contact (circumferential type) with the aerosol-forming matrix. The disadvantage of central heating is that the induced heat of the receptor is transferred from the center of the aerosol-forming matrix in contact with it to its periphery, and the heat is significantly attenuated from the inside to the outside. The disadvantage of circumferential heating is that the induced heat of the receptor is transferred from the periphery of the aerosol-forming matrix wrapping material in contact with it to the center of the aerosol-forming matrix after penetrating the wrapping material, and the heat is significantly attenuated from the outside to the inside. The integral heating of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaves of the present invention is that the magnetic material in the entire aerosol-forming matrix receives the radiated alternating magnetic field, generating induced heat distributed throughout the aerosol-forming matrix. The disadvantages of existing central induction heating also include: the insertion and removal of the sensor on the heating device can easily cause the aerosol-forming matrix to move. Specifically, when inserted, the aerosol-forming matrix is pushed to the mouthpiece end of the aerosol product, which affects heat transfer, aerosol generation, and suction force; when removed, part of the aerosol-forming matrix is carried out into the heating device along with the sensor, and the atomized condensate remains on the surface of the sensor, causing problems with cleaning residues; the above-mentioned built-in sensor in the aerosol product brings difficulties to the processing, placement, and positioning of the sensor in the aerosol-forming matrix during the product manufacturing process. The sensor of the present invention is integrated and homogeneously formed with the magnetic reconstituted tobacco foil and magnetic reconstituted tobacco particles during the manufacturing process, without the need for additional sensor processing, aerosol-forming matrix placement and positioning equipment, and there is no problem of aerosol-forming matrix movement and cleaning residues during the use of the aerosol product.
[0065] The uniform laminated network distribution of the magnetic material in the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaf of the present invention and the uniform spherical network distribution in the particles significantly shorten the magnetothermal conversion path. The magnetic material in the aerosol formation matrix basically instantaneously transfers its heat to the entire aerosol formation matrix, greatly improving the heat utilization efficiency of the aerosol formation matrix, which in turn will significantly reduce the energy consumption of the heating device. Moreover, since the aerosol formation matrix itself is the induction heating body of the aerosol product containing it, there is no need to set additional sensors inside the aerosol product (such as in the aerosol formation matrix) or on the heating device on the periphery, greatly reducing the volume of the heating device, reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the aerosol product, saving manufacturing costs and facilitating the portability of the heating device.
[0066] Existing induction heating aerosol products belong to the heat transfer method from local to overall. The sensor heat source needs a relatively high temperature to ensure that there is enough heat transferred to the entire aerosol formation matrix. At the same time, to meet the atomization requirements of the aerosol formation matrix and thus the inhalable requirements of the aerosol generated by atomization, the heat in the aerosol formation matrix needs to accumulate to a sufficient amount, which brings two technical bottlenecks: one is that the initial temperature of the sensor needs to be high enough, and the other is that the preheating time of the aerosol product needs to be long enough. This not only increases the energy consumption of the heating device but also makes it impossible for consumers to use the product quickly. The magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaf of the present invention for the magnetic aerosol formation matrix does not apply a whole block magnetic material on the surface or inside of the aerosol formation matrix, but by adjusting the area fraction of a small amount of magnetic nanomaterials in it, and through hot extrusion, hot lamination and nano-welding, spreading the magnetic nanomaterials in the reconstituted tobacco leaf foil, or through hot extrusion and rotational extrusion mixing in the rotational granulation process to mix the magnetic nanomaterials in the reconstituted tobacco particles, which not only greatly increases the magnetic induction surface area but also increases the interconnectivity of the magnetic nanomaterials; due to the relatively thin thickness (0.10 - 0.30 mm) of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaf foil and the relatively small particle size (0.5 - 2 mm) of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaf particles, the skin depth of the magnetic field inside the magnetic nanomaterials is significantly reduced, not only making the magnetic flux attenuation smaller but also greatly reducing the resistance of the magnetic network; therefore, under the influence of increased electrical conductivity and reduced thermal resistance, the initial temperature set by the heating device can be controllably reduced, and it can be heated to the set working temperature in a very short time, significantly shortening the preheating waiting time of the heating device, and enabling the product to be used immediately; similarly, the aerosol product can be cooled from the working temperature to room temperature in a very short time, greatly reducing the problem of heat accumulation in the aerosol formation matrix and ensuring the consistency of the experience of the aerosol product in each use cycle. Due to the increased electrical conductivity and reduced thermal resistance, the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaf of the present invention can select magnetic materials with an intrinsic Curie temperature close to the actual working temperature, without the need to select magnetic materials with a high Curie temperature exceeding the actual working temperature, which makes the temperature control of the heating device easier and more accurate.
[0067] The vacuum-assisted filtration method adopted in the present invention is a method of coating magnetic materials on the surface of nanofibers in the form of a suspension by means of vacuum filtration; the vacuum-assisted filtration technology greatly improves the deposition rate of nanomaterials, and the loss of nanomaterials during the preparation process is smaller, which is a very simple method for preparing multifunctional nanocomposites; the vacuum-assisted filtration technology is conducive to the formation of an entangled network of nanofibers through hydrogen bonds, so as to obtain a super-strong rigid nanostructure with high thermal stability and high transparency, further enhancing the high-temperature resistance and mechanical strength of the matrix for forming magnetic aerosol.
[0068] The advantages of using ferromagnetic nanowires in the present invention for the prepared magnetic reconstituted tobacco are further described as follows: 1. By controlling the dosage of magnetic nanowires or the driving voltage, it is easy to adjust the heating performance of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco: for example, when the driving voltage is constant, the magnetic reconstituted tobacco with a high content of ferromagnetic nanowires (such as Fe-Ni NWs) has an increased heating temperature due to the reduced resistance; due to the efficient embedding structure of Fe-Ni NWs and the interconnected electromagnetic Fe-Ni NWs skeleton, by moderately increasing the area fraction of Fe-Ni NWs, a high temperature can be obtained at a lower driving voltage. Typically, when the area fraction of Fe-Ni NWs is 0.5 g / m 2 , at a driving voltage of 3 V, the temperature can rise above 200 °C within 10 s; or when the area fraction of Fe-Ni NWs is 1.0 g / m 2 , at a driving voltage of 2 V, the temperature can rise above 250 °C within 7 s; the beneficial effect of obtaining a high temperature at a low driving voltage is to save electric energy and reduce energy consumption. 2. When an alternating magnetic field is applied to the prepared magnetic reconstituted tobacco, Joule heat is generated due to the inelastic collision between the induced accelerated eddy electrons and phonons in the magnetic nanowires, causing the matrix for forming aerosol to rapidly heat up. When the alternating magnetic field is stopped from being applied to the matrix for forming aerosol, the temperature of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco rapidly drops due to the absence of Joule heat; especially when the area of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco is greatly reduced (such as when the magnetic reconstituted tobacco foil is processed into short filaments, fine filaments or fragments), due to the significant increase in the eddy current density and power density, the heating and cooling rates will increase rapidly, and it is expected to rapidly heat up and cool down within 1 s or even in the millisecond order of magnitude; this is beneficial for the magnetic reconstituted tobacco used in the process of aerosol products, reducing the subsequent sensory changes caused by the accumulation of previous heat in the matrix for forming aerosol; at the same time, the use experience is improved due to the significant shortening of the preheating waiting time; another beneficial effect is that the electric energy consumed for heating the magnetic reconstituted tobacco used in aerosol products to the required temperature is reduced. 3. The composite lamination technology of tobacco materials, nanofibers and magnetic nanomaterials in the preparation method of the present invention has the flexibility of actual production and can precisely control the properties of the final product. 4. The magnetic reconstituted tobacco of the present invention has ideal tensile strength, fragrance retention ability, magnetic controllability and cost-effectiveness.
[0069] The preparation method of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco foil of the present invention can, according to the direction of the inductor-excited magnetic field passing through the aerosol-forming matrix and the distribution of magnetic flux lines, make the magnetic material orientation and distribution in the prepared magnetic tobacco sheet base cooperate with the direction of the inductor-excited magnetic field and the distribution of magnetic flux lines through oriented papermaking, so that the magnetic reconstituted tobacco foil and even the aerosol-forming matrix prepared from the magnetic tobacco sheet base can achieve the maximum magnetic field utilization efficiency and magnetic coupling strength when cooperating with the heating device; the magnetic multi-layer tobacco sheet base can design a tobacco sheet base with different numbers of magnetic material layers according to the subsequent process requirements and characteristics of the actual product, such as a sandwich-type tobacco sheet base, where the inner and outer layers are tobacco fibers and the middle core layer is magnetic nanofiber composite. Using semi-wet coating material, compared with the traditional papermaking method and thick pulp method for reconstituted tobacco manufacturing process, the water consumption is greatly reduced, the drying process is significantly reduced, and the production energy consumption is reduced; since the foil dries faster, the finished reconstituted tobacco foil has a stronger retention capacity for flavor substances and nicotine, can use less binder, and reduces the influence of unpleasant odors generated during the heating process of the aerosol product on the taste.
[0070] The preparation method of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco foil of the present invention includes a step of vacuum-assisted filtration to prepare a composite gel of nanofibers and magnetic nanowires, and the obtained magnetic coating material can be regarded as a magnetic gel. The magnetic gel combines the characteristics of magnetism, high elasticity and flexibility, improves the film-forming property of the coating material, is conducive to the uniform distribution of the magnetic material on the sheet base, and also improves the processing performance of the finished tobacco foil in processes such as winding and gathering.
[0071] Compared with the traditional dry-process reconstituted tobacco, the dry process of the preparation method of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco foil of the present invention obtains a fiber thin layer and then coats and performs multi-stage lamination.
