Method for preparing environmentally friendly cigarette tipping paper

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of tipping paper preparation, in particular to an environmentally friendly cigarette tipping paper preparation method. When cellulase is mixed with water, water can be used as a solvent for the cellulase, so that the cellulase can be better dispersed between cotton fibers in a filter layer, and the contact area with the cotton fibers is increased, thereby improving the decomposition efficiency. Cellulase has the best activity in an aqueous solution, and water can provide a suitable environment, so that the cellulase can exert the best catalytic activity, thereby improving the decomposition efficiency of the cotton in the filter layer. Water can also make the cotton fibers swell, increase the exposure degree of cellulose inside the cotton, and make the cellulase more easily contact with cellulose molecules, thereby improving the decomposition efficiency. The tipping paper and the filter layer are more easily degraded, thereby being more environmentally friendly.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tipping paper preparation, in particular to a method for preparing environmentally friendly cigarette tipping paper. Background Art

[0002] Cigarette tipping paper, also known as tipping paper, is a special industrial paper used to wrap cigarette filters and connect the filters to cigarettes. It refers to a type of paper used to connect two cigarettes so that they can be smoked continuously.

[0003] Tipping paper is usually made of the following materials:

[0004] Paper: usually tipping paper is used, and the connection between the tipping paper and the tobacco rod must be tight so as not to affect the smoking experience;

[0005] Filter material: Some tipping papers will add filter material, such as acetate, to further filter harmful substances in the smoke;

[0006] Adhesive: Tipping paper is usually coated with adhesive to securely connect two cigarettes together;

[0007] Waterproof layer: A non-toxic waterproof layer is applied on the outer circle of the tipping paper to prevent moisture inside the cigarette tipping paper and improve the quality of cigarettes.

[0008] After the above-mentioned cigarette tipping paper is produced, the waterproof layer coated on the surface of the tipping paper will protect the filter material inside it to prevent the filter material inside from getting damp, etc. However, when people discard the cigarette tipping paper after smoking the cigarette, the waterproof layer on the surface will still protect the material inside it to a certain extent, causing the filter layer inside the tipping paper, such as acetate fiber and other materials to aggregate together, resulting in a long natural degradation time after the aggregation, and the problem of difficult degradation.

[0009] In summary, in order to solve the technical problem raised in this article, the present invention proposes a method for preparing an environmentally friendly cigarette tipping paper. Summary of the invention

[0010] In order to solve the problem that the waterproof layer protects the material inside it, causing the filter layer inside the tipping paper to agglomerate and be difficult to degrade, the present invention proposes a method for preparing an environmentally friendly cigarette tipping paper, which comprises the following steps:

[0011] S1: First, a complete piece of tipping paper is selected, and the tipping paper is evenly cut into three pieces of paper of the same size using a cutter, and then three strip capsules are selected; water is injected into the strip capsules;

[0012] S2: Based on S1, a hydrosol is applied on the surface of each strip capsule, and then one end of the tipping paper is adhered to the outer wall of the strip capsule. The order of adhering three pieces of tipping paper and three strip capsules is tipping paper-strip capsule-tipping paper-strip capsule-tipping paper-strip capsule;

[0013] S3: Based on the above S2, a hydrosol is applied on the tipping paper, and then a filter layer is bonded on the tipping paper and the strip capsule, and then the tipping paper is curled. After curling, the tipping paper is in a complete cylindrical shape, and two pieces of tipping paper are adhered to one strip capsule, and the filter layer is wrapped by the tipping paper and the strip capsule;

[0014] S4: Based on S3, after the tipping paper is rolled into a cigarette filter, a waterproof layer is applied on the outside of the tipping paper and the strip-shaped capsule.

[0015] As a preferred solution of the present application, in step S1, the interior of the strip-shaped capsule is filled with cellulase; the cellulase is mixed with the water inside the strip-shaped capsule.

[0016] As a preferred solution of the present application, the strip capsule is made of PP material.

[0017] As a preferred solution of the present application, the filter layer is made of cotton material, and during the laying process of the filter layer, activated carbon powder is filled on the filter layer.

[0018] As a preferred solution of the present application, in step S3, before laying the filter layer, a sodium alginate particle layer is first laid on the tipping paper and the strip capsule, so that the sodium alginate particle layer is located between the filter layer and the tipping paper.

[0019] As a preferred solution of the present application; in step S3, after the filter layer is laid on the tipping paper and the strip-shaped capsule (2), super absorbent polymer particles are evenly laid on the surface of the filter layer.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the super absorbent polymer particles are absorbent resin powder.

[0021] As a preferred solution of the present application, in steps S1 and S2, the hydrosol coated on the surface of the strip capsule and the upper end of the tipping paper is water-based PVA glue.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0023] When cellulase is mixed with water, water can serve as a solvent for cellulase, allowing the cellulase to be better dispersed between the cotton fibers in the filter layer, increasing the contact area with the cotton fibers, thereby improving the decomposition efficiency; and cellulase has the best activity in aqueous solution, and water can provide a suitable environment so that the cellulase can exert the best catalytic activity, thereby improving the decomposition efficiency of the cotton in the filter layer; and water can make the cotton fibers swell, increasing the exposure of the cellulose inside the cotton, making it easier for the cellulase to contact the cellulose molecules, thereby improving the decomposition efficiency; making the tipping paper and the filter layer easier to degrade, thereby being more environmentally friendly.

[0029] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0030] Embodiment 1:

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown; A method for preparing an environmentally friendly cigarette tipping paper, the method comprising the following steps;

[0032] S1: firstly, a complete tipping paper 1 is selected, and the tipping paper 1 is evenly cut into three pieces of paper of the same size using a cutter, and then three strip capsules 2 are selected; water is injected into the strip capsules 2;

[0033] S2: Based on S1, a hydrosol is applied on the surface of each strip capsule 2, and then one end of the tipping paper 1 is adhered to the outer wall of the strip capsule 2. The bonding sequence of the three tipping papers 1 and the three strip capsules 2 is tipping paper 1-strip capsule 2-tipping paper 1-strip capsule 2-tipping paper 1-strip capsule 2;

[0034] S3: On the basis of the above S2, a hydrosol is applied on the tipping paper 1, and then a filter layer 3 is bonded on the tipping paper 1 and the strip-shaped capsule 2, and then the tipping paper 1 is curled. After curling, the tipping paper 1 is in a complete cylindrical shape, and two pieces of tipping paper 1 are adhered to one strip-shaped capsule 2, and the filter layer 3 is wrapped by the tipping paper 1 and the strip-shaped capsule 2;

[0035] S4: on the basis of S3, after the tipping paper 1 is rolled into a cigarette filter, a waterproof layer is applied on the outer sides of the tipping paper 1 and the strip-shaped capsule 2;

[0036] In step S1, the interior of the strip capsule 2 is filled with cellulase; the cellulase is mixed with the water inside the strip capsule 2;

[0037] The strip capsule 2 is made of PP;

[0038] The filter layer 3 is made of cotton. During the laying process of the filter layer 3 , activated carbon powder is filled on the filter layer 3 .

[0039] Here’s how it works:

[0040] A complete piece of tipping paper 1 is cut into three pieces of paper of the same size using a cutter; then three strip capsules 2 are taken out, the strip capsules 2 are water capsules in the prior art, the outer surface of the strip capsules 2 is made of PP material, the capsule wall of the strip capsules 2 is thin film-shaped, water is injected into the strip capsules 2, and cellulase is filled in the injected water to mix the cellulase with water, and then a hydrosol is applied to the outer side of the strip capsules 2 (the hydrosol is an aqueous gel in the prior art that dissolves in water); after the hydrosol is applied to the outer side of the strip capsules 2, one end of the tipping paper 1 is then adhered to the outer side of the strip capsules 2, and the strip capsules 2 and the tipping paper 1 are arranged such that the tipping paper 1-strip capsule 2-tipping paper 1-strip capsule 2-tipping paper 1-strip capsule 2; then, a hydrosol is applied on the tipping paper 1 and the strip capsule 2, and a filter layer 3 is laid on the hydrosol. After the laying is completed, the tipping paper 1 is curled. After the tipping paper 1 is curled, the tipping paper 1 and the strip capsule 2 wrap the filter layer 3, and the tipping paper 1 and the strip capsule 2 after curling are connected end to end, so that the tipping paper 1 and the strip capsule 2 form a tube and wrap the internal filter layer 3; and after the internal filter layer 3 is wrapped, a non-toxic waterproof layer is applied on the surface of the tipping paper 1 and the outer side of the strip capsule 2 between adjacent tipping papers 1;

[0041] When a person finishes smoking a cigarette and discards it, he or she may pinch the portion of the tipping paper 1 and the strip capsule 2. The strip capsule 2 will break after being compressed, and the water and cellulase mixed solution inside the strip capsule 2 will flow out. After the water and cellulase mixed solution flows out, it will soak the tipping paper 1 and the internal filter layer 3. When the tipping paper 1 is soaked, the hydrosol between the tipping paper 1 and the strip capsule 2 will come into contact with the water. After the hydrosol comes into contact with water, it will dissolve, making the hydrosol no longer sticky. As a result, after the cigarette falls on the ground, the tipping paper 1 and the strip capsule 2 no longer have stickiness, making it easier to separate the tipping paper 1 and the strip capsule 2. After the tipping paper 1 and the strip capsule 2 are separated, the internal filter layer 3 is exposed to the air. As a result, the filter layer 3 is not wrapped by the tipping paper 1, so that the waterproof layer on the tipping paper 1 is prevented from being isolated from the outside air, making the filter layer 3 and the tipping paper 1 easier to degrade.

[0042] The filter layer 3 is made of cotton and filled with activated carbon powder, so that when the cigarette is smoked, the cotton and activated carbon powder adsorb particulate matter such as nicotine and benzopyrene in the smoke; and when the water and cellulase mixture in the strip capsule 2 penetrate into the filter layer 3, the cellulase breaks the glycosidic bonds in the cotton fibers, thereby accelerating the degradation of the filter layer 3;

[0043] And the cellulase is mixed with water, so that the water inside the strip capsule 2 can soak the tipping paper 1 and the filter layer 3, so that the hydrosol coated on the outer surface of the strip capsule 2 is decomposed and the stickiness is no longer there; on the other hand, after the cellulase is mixed with water, the water can be used as a solvent for the cellulase, so that the cellulase can be better dispersed between the cotton fibers of the filter layer 3, increasing the contact area with the cotton fibers, thereby improving the decomposition efficiency; and the cellulase has the best activity in the aqueous solution, and water can provide a suitable environment, so that the cellulase can exert the best catalytic activity, thereby improving the decomposition efficiency of the cotton in the filter layer 3; and water can make the cotton fibers swell, increase the exposure of the cellulose inside the cotton, and make the cellulase more easily contact the cellulose molecules, thereby improving the decomposition efficiency; the tipping paper 1 and the filter layer 3 are easier to degrade, and thus more environmentally friendly.

[0044] Embodiment 2:

[0045] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown; in step S3, before laying the filter layer 3, a sodium alginate particle layer 4 is first laid on the tipping paper 1 and the strip capsule 2, so that the sodium alginate particle layer 4 is located between the filter layer 3 and the tipping paper 1.

[0046] Here’s how it works:

[0047] Before laying the filter layer 3, firstly lay the sodium alginate particle layer 4 on the tipping paper 1 and the strip capsule 2, so that the sodium alginate particle layer 4 is located between the filter layer 3 and the tipping paper 1, so that after the tipping paper 1 wraps the filter layer 3, the outermost circle is the waterproof layer, followed by the tipping paper 1 and the strip capsule 2, then the sodium alginate particle layer 4, and finally the filter layer 3; and the sodium alginate particles in the sodium alginate particle layer 4 are a biodegradable material, and thus are easily degraded in the environment;

[0048] In particular, after the sodium alginate particle layer 4 is wrapped by the tipping paper 1 and the strip capsule 2, the sodium alginate particles in the sodium alginate particle layer 4 are granular, and there are gaps between each particle, so that the sodium alginate particle layer 4 cooperates with the activated carbon powder and cotton in the filter layer 3 to adsorb carbon monoxide, nicotine and benzopyrene in the smoke, thereby improving the filtering effect of the smoke;

[0049] And when the strip capsule 2 is broken, the moisture inside the strip capsule 2 will enter the sodium alginate particle layer 4 and the filter layer 3, and the sodium alginate particle layer 4 will expand after absorbing water. When the sodium alginate particle layer 4 expands, the space between the tipping paper 1 will expand, and the tipping paper 1 will be squeezed, so that the tipping paper 1 and the strip capsule 2 are more easily separated, thereby improving the expansion effect between the tipping paper 1, the strip capsule 2 and the filter layer 3; increasing the contact area between them and the air, and further improving their degradation effect.

[0050] Embodiment three:

[0051] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown; in step S3, after the filter layer 3 is laid on the tipping paper 1 and the strip capsule 2, the super absorbent polymer particles 5 are evenly laid on the surface of the filter layer 3.

[0052] The super absorbent polymer particles 5 are water-absorbing resin powder.

[0053] Here’s how it works:

[0054] On the basis of the above-mentioned second embodiment, after the filtration layer 3 is laid, a super absorbent polymer is laid on the surface of the filtration layer 3, and the super absorbent polymer is a water-absorbing resin powder; on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, after the strip capsule 2 is squeezed and broken, because when the tipping paper 1 is curled into a cylindrical shape, the filtration layer 3 is also squeezed, and the filtration layer 3 is curled into a column, and the water-absorbing resin powder laid on the surface of the filtration layer 3 is located in the middle of the filtration layer 3, so that after the water inside the strip capsule 2 enters the filtration layer 3, it is adsorbed by the water-absorbing resin powder through the filtration layer 3, and then the water-absorbing resin powder absorbs water and expands. Since the water-absorbing resin powder is located in the middle of the filtration layer 3, the water-absorbing resin powder will expand the filtration layer 3 in the middle of the filtration layer 3, so that the filtration layer 3 has a tendency to expand, so that the area inside the filtration layer 3 is exposed to the air, and the degradation rate is increased;

[0055] Furthermore, since the water-absorbent resin powder forms a gel-like substance after expansion and increases in volume, and since the water-absorbent resin powder is laid on the surface of the unfolded filter layer 3, after the filter layer 3 is stretched open by the water-absorbent resin powder, the water-absorbent resin powder can cover the cotton fibers in the filter layer 3 underneath, thereby preventing the moisture and cellulase in the filter layer 3 from drying out quickly, and keeping the cotton fibers in the filter layer 3 in a moist state, thereby promoting the activity of cellulase and microorganisms, and accelerating the degradation of cellulose, thereby accelerating the degradation of cotton fibers and improving the degradation effect of the tipping paper 1 and the filter layer 3.

[0056] Embodiment 4:

[0057] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown; in steps S1 and S2, the hydrosol coated on the surface of the strip capsule 2 and the upper end of the tipping paper 1 is water-based PVA glue.

[0058] Here’s how it works:

[0059] The hydrosol coated on the surface of the strip capsule 2 and the tipping paper 1 is water-based PVA glue, which uses water as a solvent, does not contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde, is harmless to the human body, and has no irritating odor; the water-based PVA glue is easily biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and meets environmental protection requirements; the water-based PVA glue has good adhesion to paper; the water-based PVA glue can meet the adhesion of the tipping paper 1 and the strip capsule 2, while it itself is harmless to the human body and easily degraded, and thus will not cause damage to the human body and the environment; and the water-based PVA glue will fall off after contacting water, so that after the water inside the strip capsule 2 enters the tipping paper 1, the tipping paper 1 and the strip capsule 2 are easily separated, and the tipping paper 1 and the filter layer 3 are easily separated; its degradation speed is increased, which is more environmentally friendly.
