Abstract
Description
Reconstituted tobacco leaf, preparation method and use thereof Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of tobacco, and in particular relates to a reconstituted tobacco leaf, a preparation method and use thereof. Background Art
[0002] Existing heat-not-burn aerosol products typically use reconstituted tobacco leaves or tobacco particles as the aerosol-forming matrix. The thick slurry method and papermaking method are the primary methods for producing reconstituted tobacco leaves used in heat-not-burn aerosol products. The thick slurry method requires drying to remove a large amount of water, resulting in high energy consumption. The finished product is brittle and weak, and high reconstitution losses occur during cutting. The papermaking method results in significant loss of flavor compounds in the finished product, and drying to remove water also requires significant energy consumption and is complex.
[0003] Existing aerosol products often use induction heating to atomize the desired components in the aerosol-forming matrix from the product to form an inhalable aerosol. In existing induction-heating aerosol products, the susceptor is a separate component and transfers its induction 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 induction heat of the susceptor 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 induction heat of the susceptor 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. Therefore, in order to achieve the desired atomization effect of the aerosol-forming matrix, it is necessary to extend the product preheating time and increase the maximum heating temperature, thereby increasing the output power of the inductor. The adverse effects of this not only cause low heat utilization efficiency and uneven heat distribution of the aerosol-forming matrix, but also increase the energy consumption of the heating device used to heat the aerosol product.
[0004] The present invention is proposed for this purpose.

[0055] The third aspect of the present invention discloses the use of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaves as a matrix for forming a magnetic aerosol.
[0056] The magnetic reconstituted tobacco used for forming a magnetic aerosol matrix of the present invention comprises 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 diameter and length of the nanofibers are 5-100 nm and 1-10 μm, respectively.
[0057] The magnetic material is any material that can be converted into heat after absorbing an alternating magnetic field, such as a ferromagnetic material or a ferrimagnetic material; specifically, iron or iron alloys such as stainless steel, nickel, and nickel alloys such as corrosion-resistant Fe-Ni-Cr alloys. Preferably, the magnetic material is a magnetic nanomaterial, such as nanoparticles, nanosheets, nanospheres, nanorods, nanotubes, nanowires, and the like, particularly nanoparticles and / or nanowires. The nanoparticles and / or nanowires include, but are not limited to, nickel, cobalt, iron-nickel, cobalt-nickel, cobalt-iron, iron-cobalt-nickel, iron-molybdenum-nickel, and their alloys. Preferably, the magnetic material is a magnetic nanowire. The length is 5-100 μm, and the average diameter is 5-500 nm.
[0058] The magnetic reconstituted tobacco foil is obtained by extruding and rolling a tobacco mixture, nanofibers and magnetic nanomaterials; the magnetic reconstituted tobacco particles are obtained by extruding, granulating and screening the tobacco mixture, nanofibers and magnetic nanomaterials; the preparation method of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco comprises: forming a dough-like object of tobacco, nanofibers and magnetic nanomaterials; adding a surfactant such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) to the mixture of tobacco, nanofibers and magnetic nanomaterials to facilitate the combination of magnetic nanomaterials and nanofibers; using continuous vacuum-assisted filtration of nanofiber dispersion and magnetic nanomaterials A suspension method is used to obtain a composite gel of nanofibers and magnetic nanomaterials. The dough-like material is subjected to an extrusion process, whereby the magnetic nanomaterials are subjected to heat extrusion to form interconnected magnetic conductive paths, which are tightly bonded to the extruded reconstituted tobacco leaf parison. Heat is applied to the rolling rollers, whereby the magnetic nanomaterials are subjected to heat lamination or further nano-welding to form interconnected magnetic conductive paths, which are more tightly bonded to the entire reconstituted tobacco leaf, thereby obtaining reconstituted tobacco leaf foil. The thickness of the foil can be controlled by adjusting the rolling roller spacing. The resulting magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaf foil can be rolled, sliced, or shredded, and subsequently processed for use in a magnetic aerosol-forming matrix. The tobacco material can be tobacco powder, debris, tobacco stems, or the like.
[0059] Magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaf foil is used as an aerosol-forming matrix. It can be rolled, sliced, or shredded, and then processed into an aerosol-forming matrix. The magnetic aerosol-forming matrix contains a material that can be atomized at a suitable temperature to form an inhalable aerosol. The aerosol formed by atomization contains an aerosolizing agent, flavoring substances, and / or nicotine, and may also contain other inhalable ingredients. The magnetic aerosol-forming matrix is combined with the wrapping material to form the aerosol-generating section, which is then combined with other components including the support section, cooling section, and filter section to form the aerosol product.
[0060] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0061] In the method for preparing magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaves of the present invention, during the extrusion of the dough-like material through the extruder, the heater on the extruder can heat the dough-like material by heat conduction. In addition, the dough-like material rubs and shears against the barrel, screw, and dough-like material of the extruder during movement, generating a large amount of heat, causing the magnetic nanomaterial in the preform to be thermally extruded. When the extruded preform is hot-pressed into foil at high pressure on a rolling mill, the magnetic nanomaterial therein further undergoes thermal lamination and nano-welding. Thermal lamination and nano-welding can completely remove the surfactant component (such as PVP) wrapped around the outer surface of the magnetic nanowires and sinter the magnetic nanowire joints, significantly reducing contact resistance, forming an interconnected, strong and stable magnetic nanowire magnetic conductive path and eddy current network, and at the same time significantly improving the tensile strength of the reconstituted tobacco leaf foil. Thermal 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 transmission capacity within the reconstituted tobacco leaf foil. Nano-welding can improve the induction heating performance without increasing the content of magnetic nanowires, reducing the cost of using magnetic materials.
[0062] The preparation method of the present invention can uniformly and firmly disperse the nanofibers and magnetic nanomaterials into the reconstituted tobacco leaf substrate through continuous high-pressure homogenization multiple times (generally not less than three times); vacuum-assisted filtration is conducive to the nanofibers forming an entangled network through hydrogen bonds, thereby obtaining an ultra-rigid nanostructure with high thermal stability and high transparency, further enhancing the high temperature resistance and mechanical strength of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaf; the addition of surfactants such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) during the manufacturing process can wrap magnetic nanomaterials such as magnetic nanowires. Through the strong hydrogen bonding interaction between the carbonyl group of the additive and the hydroxyl group of the nanofiber, the magnetic nanowires partially wrapped by the cellulose act as a skeleton. This facilitates load transfer and energy dissipation during the tensile process of magnetic reconstituted tobacco, dissipating stress and achieving excellent mechanical properties and structural stability. Multi-stage thermal lamination and nanowelding completely remove the surfactant components (such as PVP) surrounding the magnetic nanowires and sinter the magnetic nanowire joints, significantly reducing contact resistance and forming interconnected, robust, and stable magnetic nanowire magnetic conduction paths and eddy current networks while significantly increasing the tensile strength of the reconstituted tobacco. Multi-stage thermal lamination and nanowelding also significantly increase the heating temperature of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco, as the resistance decreases significantly after welding, leading to an increase in induced eddy currents and electron transport capacity within the reconstituted tobacco. Nanowelding improves induction heating performance without increasing the content of magnetic nanowires, reducing the cost of magnetic materials.
[0063] Compared to traditional papermaking and thick pulp methods for reconstituted tobacco, the magnetic reconstituted tobacco foil and reconstituted tobacco granule manufacturing processes of the present invention require less water, significantly shorten the drying process, and reduce production energy consumption. Because the foil dries faster, the finished reconstituted tobacco leaves retain more flavor and nicotine, allowing for the use of less binder, reducing the impact of unpleasant odors generated during the heating process of aerosol products on the taste. Precisely adjusting the rolling mill roll gap allows for a uniform and controllable thickness of the finished reconstituted tobacco leaves. This precision and stability of thickness helps ensure consistency in downstream processes and helps ensure that important product indicators, such as nicotine content, remain within specified ranges. The increased stability and reliability of the reconstituted tobacco leaves also significantly improves the operational stability of the heating device. The preparation method of the present invention eliminates the need for drying and preheating tobacco scraps and fibers. Because the extrusion process inherently binds materials, the amount of binder used can be significantly reduced. Consequently, raw material and production costs can be further reduced. The tobacco materials used in the present invention can include tobacco powder, scraps, tobacco stems, and others, reducing the cost of using pure tobacco leaves as raw materials for traditional granular aerosol products. The preparation method of the present invention utilizes the same raw materials and extrusion process to prepare the mold blanks required for reconstituted tobacco leaf foil and reconstituted tobacco particles, saving the floor space and financial investment of production equipment, and facilitating the simultaneous manufacture of two types of products, reconstituted tobacco leaf foil and reconstituted tobacco particles.
[0064] 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.
[0065] 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.
[0066] The uniform layered network distribution of the magnetic material in the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaf of the present invention within the reconstituted tobacco leaf foil and the uniform spherical network distribution within the particles significantly shortens the magnetothermal conversion path. The magnetic material in the aerosol-forming matrix essentially instantaneously transfers its heat to the aerosol-forming matrix as a whole, significantly improving the aerosol-forming matrix's efficiency in utilizing heat, which in turn significantly reduces the energy consumption of the heating device. Furthermore, because the aerosol-forming matrix itself serves as the induction heating element for the aerosol product containing it, there is no need to install additional sensors within the aerosol product (e.g., within the aerosol-forming matrix) or on the peripheral heating device. This significantly reduces the size of the heating device and eases the difficulty of manufacturing the aerosol product, saving both manufacturing costs and facilitating the portability of the heating device.
[0067] Existing induction-heated aerosol products utilize a localized-to-global heat transfer method. This requires a relatively high temperature for the susceptor heat source to ensure sufficient heat transfer to the entire aerosol-forming matrix. Furthermore, sufficient heat accumulation within the aerosol-forming matrix is required to achieve atomization and, therefore, inhalability of the aerosol produced. This creates two technical bottlenecks: a sufficiently high initial susceptor temperature and a sufficiently long preheating time for the aerosol product. This increases the energy consumption of the heating device and hinders consumer use of the product. The magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaf of the present invention is used for the magnetic aerosol forming matrix. Instead of applying a whole block of magnetic material on the surface or inside of the aerosol forming matrix, the magnetic nanomaterial is spread in the reconstituted tobacco leaf foil by adjusting the area fraction of a small amount of magnetic nanomaterial therein, and by hot extrusion, hot lamination and nano-welding, or by hot extrusion and rotary extrusion in the process of rotary granulation to mix the magnetic nanomaterial in the reconstituted tobacco particles, thereby greatly increasing the magnetic induction surface area and increasing the interconnectivity of the magnetic nanomaterial. Due to the thin thickness of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaf foil (0.10-0.30 mm) and the small particle size of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaf particles ( 0.5-2mm), significantly reducing the skin depth of the magnetic field inside the magnetic nanomaterial, not only making the magnetic flux attenuation smaller, but also greatly reducing the resistance of the magnetic network; therefore, under the influence of increased conductivity and reduced thermal resistance, the initial temperature set by the heating device can be controllably lowered and heated to the set operating temperature in a very short time, significantly shortening the preheating waiting time of the heating device and enabling the product to be started and used immediately; similarly, the aerosol product can be cooled from the operating temperature to room temperature in a very short time, significantly reducing the problem of heat accumulation in the aerosol-forming matrix and ensuring the consistency of the experience of the aerosol product in each use cycle. Due to the increased conductivity and reduced thermal resistance, the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaves of the present invention can select magnetic materials with an intrinsic Curie temperature close to the actual operating temperature, without the need to select magnetic materials with a high Curie temperature that exceeds the actual operating temperature, which makes the temperature control of the heating device easier and more accurate.
[0068] The vacuum-assisted filtration method adopted by the present invention is a method of coating magnetic material in the form of a suspension on the surface of nanofibers using vacuum filtration; vacuum-assisted filtration technology greatly improves the deposition rate of nanomaterials, and reduces the loss of nanomaterials during the preparation process, and is a very simple method for preparing multifunctional nanocomposite materials; vacuum-assisted filtration technology is conducive to the nanofibers forming an entangled network through hydrogen bonds, thereby obtaining an ultra-rigid nanostructure with high thermal stability and high transparency, further enhancing the high temperature resistance and mechanical strength of the magnetic aerosol forming matrix.
[0069] The advantages of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaves prepared by using ferromagnetic nanowires in the present invention are further described as follows: 1. The heating performance of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaves can be easily adjusted by controlling the amount of magnetic nanowires or the driving voltage. For example, when the driving voltage is constant, the heating temperature of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaves with a high content of ferromagnetic nanowires (such as Fe-Ni NWs) increases due to the reduced resistance. Due to the efficient Fe-Ni NWs embedded structure and the interconnected electromagnetic Fe-Ni NWs skeleton, high temperatures can be obtained at lower driving voltages by moderately increasing the Fe-Ni NWs area fraction, typically with an Fe-Ni NWs area fraction of 0.5 g / m 2 When the driving voltage is 3V, the temperature can rise to above 200℃ within 10s; or if the area fraction of Fe-Ni NWs is 1.0g / m 2 When the driving voltage is 2V, the temperature can rise to above 250℃ within 7s; the beneficial effect of obtaining high temperature with low driving voltage is saving electricity and reducing energy consumption. 2. When an alternating magnetic field is applied to the prepared magnetic reconstructed tobacco leaves, Joule heat is generated due to the inelastic collision of the induced accelerated eddy current electrons and phonons in the magnetic nanowires, causing the aerosol-forming matrix to heat up rapidly. When the alternating magnetic field is stopped, the temperature of the magnetic reconstructed tobacco leaves drops rapidly due to the lack of Joule heat. Especially when the area of the magnetic reconstructed tobacco leaves is greatly reduced (such as when the magnetic reconstructed tobacco leaf foil is processed into short filaments, thin filaments or fragments), the heating and cooling rates will increase rapidly due to the significant increase in eddy current density and power density, and it is expected that the heating and cooling rates will increase rapidly within 1 second or even milliseconds. This is beneficial for the use of magnetic reconstructed tobacco leaves in aerosol products, reducing the subsequent sensory changes in the aerosol-forming matrix caused by the accumulation of previous heat. At the same time, it also improves the user experience by significantly shortening the preheating waiting time. Another beneficial effect is that the electrical energy consumed by heating the magnetic reconstructed tobacco leaves to the required temperature for aerosol products is reduced. 3. The present invention's preparation method and the composite lamination technology of tobacco materials, nanofibers, and magnetic nanomaterials offer practical production flexibility and enable precise manipulation of the properties of the final product. 4. The present invention's magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaves exhibit ideal tensile strength, flavor retention, magnetic controllability, and cost-effectiveness.
[0070] The present invention's method for preparing magnetic reconstituted tobacco foil utilizes a directional arrangement of magnetic material in a sheet material, based on the direction of the inductor's excitation magnetic field and the distribution of magnetic flux lines passing through an aerosol-forming substrate. This allows the resulting magnetic reconstituted tobacco foil, and even the aerosol-forming substrate, to achieve maximum magnetic field utilization efficiency and magnetic coupling strength when used in conjunction with a heating device. The multi-layered magnetic tobacco foil can be designed with varying numbers of magnetic material layers, depending on the subsequent process requirements and characteristics of the product. For example, a sandwich-shaped tobacco foil, with the inner and outer layers made of tobacco fiber and the middle core layer made of magnetic nanocomposite fibers, can be designed. The use of semi-wet coating significantly reduces water consumption, significantly shortens the drying process, and reduces production energy consumption compared to traditional papermaking and thick pulp methods for reconstituted tobacco production. Because the foil dries faster, the finished reconstituted tobacco foil retains flavor substances and nicotine more effectively, requiring less binder, thereby minimizing the impact of unpleasant odors generated during the heating of aerosol products on the taste.
[0071] The present invention's method for preparing magnetic reconstituted tobacco foil includes the steps of preparing a composite gel of nanofibers and magnetic nanowires through vacuum-assisted filtration. The resulting magnetic coating material can be considered a magnetic gel. The magnetic gel combines magnetic properties with high elasticity and flexibility, improving the film-forming properties of the coating material and facilitating the uniform distribution of the magnetic material on the sheet substrate. It also enhances the processing performance of the finished tobacco foil during rolling and gathering processes.
[0072] Compared with traditional dry-process reconstituted tobacco leaves, the preparation method of the magnetic reconstituted tobacco leaf foil of the present invention obtains a fiber thin layer by dry process and then coats it for multi-stage lamination, which not only retains the looseness of the reconstituted tobacco leaf structure, but also the nanofibers, magnetic nanowires and polysaccharides contained in the magnetic coating liquid strengthen the hydrogen bond interaction with the fiber thin layer, enhance the sheet base shaping effect and mechanical properties, and reduce the powder loss, breakage and fracture phenomena in the downstream cutting or forming process.
