Description

Smoke filter for smoking devices comprising a porous mass with carbon particle loading and closed pressure drop

field of invention

The present application relates to smoke filters for smoking devices having a composition which enhances the flow of smoke through said filter.

Background of the invention

The World Health Organization (WHO) has set out recommendations for reducing certain components of tobacco smoke in WHO Technical Report Series No. 951, The Scientific Basis of Tobacco Product Regulation, World Health Organization (2008). Among others, WHO recommends reducing certain components such as acetaldehyde, acrolein, benzene, benzopyrene, 1,3-butadiene and formaldehyde to levels below 125% of the median value of the data set. In view of the new international recommendations concerning the regulation of tobacco products, there is a need for new tobacco smoke filters and materials for the manufacture of tobacco smoke filters capable of meeting these regulations.

The use of carbon-loaded tobacco smoke filters to remove tobacco smoke components is known. These filters include carbon fiber tow filters and carbon particles contained in the chambers of the filters. US Patent No. 5,423,336 discloses a cigarette filter chamber loaded with activated carbon. US Publication No. 2010/0147317 discloses a cigarette filter having helical channels with activated carbon attached to the channel walls. GB 1,592,952 discloses a cigarette filter in which continuous filaments surround a core of sorbent particles (eg activated carbon) held together by a thermoplastic binder (eg polyethylene and polypropylene). WO2008/142420 discloses cigarette filters in which an absorbent material (eg activated carbon) is coated with a polymeric material (eg 0.4-5% by weight polyethylene). WO2009/112591 discloses a barely dust generating cigarette filter having a composite material comprising at least one polymer (eg polyethylene) and at least one other compound (eg activated carbon).

Carbon block technology is known in which activated carbon is passed through a binder to form a monolithic porous block. In US Patent Nos. 4,753,728, 6,770,736, 7,049,382, 7,160,453, and 7,112,280, carbon block technology using a low melt flow polymer binder was used primarily as a water filter.

Therefore, there is a need for porous materials with active particles that can be used in smoke filters with closed pressure drops suitable for consumer use.

Detailed description of the invention

The porous masses described below may be used with smoking devices, such as tobacco smoking devices. The porous mass comprises active particles and non-fibrous binder particles and may form part of a filter segment of a smoking device. The term "porous mass" as used herein refers to a mass comprising active particles and non-fibrous binder particles forming a structure bound by the binder particles and including void spaces therein through which smoke can pass through the porous mass And interact with active particles. In some embodiments, structures can be formed via application of heat to soften the binder particles to bond to the active particles at different points of contact. Although reference is made herein to "tobacco", it should be understood that the porous substances described herein are also applicable to other substances that produce smoke when burned or heated (ie, smokable substances).

It should be noted that when "about" is provided hereinafter in reference to a quantity, the term "about" qualifies each number in the numerical list. It should be noted that in some numerical listings of ranges, some of the lower limits listed may be greater than some of the upper limits listed. Those skilled in the art recognize that the selected subset requires the selection of an upper limit that exceeds a selected lower limit.

Referring to Figures 1-4, several embodiments of smoking devices are shown (these embodiments are representative, but not limiting, of the smoking devices covered below). As used herein, the term "smoking device" most often refers to a cigarette, but it is not limited thereto and may be used for other smoking devices such as cigarette holders, cigars, cigar holders, pipes, water pipes, hookahs , electronic cigarette devices, hand-rolled cigarettes or cigars, etc. In the following, cigarette is referred to as a general term covering all these smoking devices (unless otherwise specified).

In some embodiments, the smoking device may include a housing capable of maintaining the smokable substance in fluid contact with the filter. Suitable housings may include, but are not limited to, cigarettes, cigarette holders, cigars, cigar holders, pipes, water pipes, hookahs, electronic smoking devices, hand-rolled cigarettes, hand-rolled cigars, and paper.

In FIG. 1 , a cigarette 10 includes a cigarette rod 12 and a filter 14 . The filter 14 may include at least two sections, a first section 16 and a second section 18 . For example, the first section 16 may comprise a conventional filter material (discussed in more detail below) and the second section 18 comprises a porous mass (discussed in more detail below).

As used herein, the term "stick" refers to a blend of tobacco and, optionally, other ingredients and flavorants, which may be combined to produce a tobacco-based smokable article, such as a cigarette or cigar. In some embodiments, a cigarette stick may include an ingredient selected from the group consisting of tobacco, sugar (such as sucrose, brown sugar, invert sugar, or high fructose corn syrup), propylene glycol, glycerin, cocoa, cocoa products, carob gum, carob extract, and any combination thereof. In other embodiments, the cigarette stick may further include flavor enhancers, menthol, licorice extract, diammonium phosphate, ammonium hydroxide, and any combination thereof. Examples of suitable types of tobacco that may be used in cigarette sticks may include, but are not limited to, brightleaf tobacco, burley tobacco, oriental tobacco (also known as Turkish tobacco), sheet tobacco, corojo tobacco, Criollo tobacco, Perique tobacco, shade grown tobacco, white burley tobacco, and any combination thereof. Tobacco may be grown in the United States, or may be grown in jurisdictions outside the United States.

In FIG. 2 , a cigarette 20 has a cigarette 12 and a filter 22 . The filter 22 is multi-segmented into three segments. In this embodiment, conventional filter material 24 (or other alternative filter segments) may be flanked by porous mass 26 .

In FIG. 3 , a cigarette 30 has a cigarette 12 and a filter 32 . The filter 32 is multi-segmented into four segments. In this embodiment, end segment 34 is a conventional material, but segments 36, 37 and 38 may be any combination of other filter materials and porous mass (as long as at least one of those segments is a porous mass of the present invention).

The foregoing embodiments are representative and not limiting. Filters of the present invention may have many segments, such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or more segments, and the segments may be placed in any suitable combination. Preferably at least one of the filter segments comprises the porous mass of the invention. Furthermore, the segments may be the same as each other or different from each other.

Examples of segments that may be combined with the porous mass of the present invention to form a filter may include, but are not limited to, segments comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of: cellulose acetate, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyolefin tow, polypropylene Tow, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, randomly oriented acetate, paper, corrugated, concentric filters (e.g. peripheral filter of fiber tow and core of web material ), carbon fiber bundles (sometimes called "Dalmatian filters"), silica, magnesium silicate, zeolites, molecular sieves, metallocene complexes, salts, catalysts, sodium chloride, nylon , flavoring agents, tobacco, capsules, cellulose, cellulose derivatives, catalytic converters, iodine pentoxide, meal, carbon particles, carbon fibers, fibers, glass beads, nanoparticles, cavities (e.g. made of e.g. paper or rigid components of plastic), cavities with baffles, and any combination thereof. If a zeolite is used, examples of suitable zeolites include, but are not limited to, BETA, SBA-15, MCM-41, MCM-48 modified with 3-aminopropylsilyl groups, and any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the filter can degrade substantially over time (eg, over about 2 to about 5 years), either naturally or in the presence of a catalyst, which in some embodiments can be present in in the filter section itself. Also included are fiber tows and papers having an active material attached thereto or impregnated or otherwise associated therewith. These active materials include activated carbon (or charcoal), ion exchange resins, zeolites, desiccants, catalysts or other materials adapted to affect tobacco smoke. If used, the cavity may be filled (or partially filled) with an active ingredient or a material incorporating an active ingredient. These active ingredients include activated carbon (or charcoal), ion exchange resins, desiccants or other materials adapted to affect tobacco smoke. Alternatively, the segment may be a porous mass consisting of binder particles (ie binder particles alone, without any active particles). For example, such a porous mass without active particles can be made of thermoplastic particles such as polyolefin powder, including binder particles discussed below, that are bonded or molded together to form a porous cylindrical shape.

In another embodiment, a segment may comprise a space defining a cavity between two filter segments (one segment comprising the porous mass of the invention). The cavities may be filled, for example, with granulated carbon, or as another example with a flavoring agent. The cavity may contain a capsule, eg, a polymer capsule, which itself contains a flavoring agent or catalyst. The cavities, in some embodiments, may also contain molecular sieves that react with selected components in the smoke to remove or reduce the concentration of the components without detrimentally affecting the desirable flavor components of the smoke. In one embodiment, the cavity may include tobacco as an additional flavorant. It should be noted that if the cavity is insufficiently filled with the selected substance, in some embodiments this can lead to a lack of interaction.

Flavorants suitable for use in the present invention include any flavorants suitable for use in smoking devices, including those that impart a taste and/or flavor to an aerosol stream. Flavoring agents may include, but are not limited to, organic materials (or natural flavor particles), natural flavor carriers, artificial flavor carriers, and any combination thereof. Organic materials (or natural flavoring particles) include, but are not limited to, tobacco, cloves (eg, clove powder and clove flower), cocoa, and the like. Natural and artificial flavors may include, but are not limited to, menthol, clove, cherry, chocolate, orange, mint, mango, vanilla, cinnamon, tobacco, and the like. These flavors may be provided by menthol, anethole (licorice), limonene (citrus), eugenol (clove), and the like. In some embodiments, more than one flavoring agent can be used, including any combination of the flavoring agents provided herein. These flavoring agents can be placed in the cigarette stick or filter segment. Additionally, in some embodiments, the porous masses of the present invention may include flavor enhancers. The amount included will depend on the desired level of flavor in the smoke, taking into account any filter segments, the length of the smoking device, the type of smoking device, the diameter of the smoking device, and other factors known to those skilled in the art.

The segments making up the filter can be wrapped in paper to form a filter rod. As used herein, the term "paper" collectively refers to any wrapping paper used in the manufacture of smoking devices, including tipping paper, wrapping paper, tipping base paper, and the like. Suitable papers for use in connection with the present invention include wood-based papers, linen-containing papers, linen papers, functionalized papers (e.g., those papers functionalized to reduce tar and/or carbon monoxide), specialty marking papers, colored papers, and any combination thereof . In some embodiments, the paper can be highly porous, corrugated, and/or have high surface strength. In some embodiments, the paper may include additives, sizes, and/or printability agents. In some embodiments, a filter rod comprising a porous mass of the present invention may have a length in the range of about 80 mm to about 150 mm. During processing, the filter rod may then be divided into about 4 or about 6 individual segments of about 5 to about 35 mm in length during the smoking device tipping operation. For double or triple filters, the filter can first be cut into pieces and combined with paper and/or charcoal pieces before tipping. A filter rod may be attached to a cigarette stick with paper or other smoking equipment to create a finished smoking device. For example, in traditional cigarette manufacture at least three types of paper are used: plug wrap, cigarette paper and tipping paper. Wrapping paper refers to the paper used to cover the filter segment of a cigarette when producing it and before connecting it to a cigarette rod. Cigarette paper refers to the paper used to cover the rod when producing the rod segment of a cigarette and before connecting it to the filter segment. Finally, tipping paper refers to the paper used to cover the filter segment and part of the cigarette rod when connecting the two segments to form a cigarette. The seams of the various papers used to form the cigarettes are joined using at least one adhesive, and more than one type of adhesive may be used in forming the cigarettes. For example, when forming a traditional cellulose acetate filter segment, polyvinyl alcohol adhesive can be used to anchor the filter to the paper and hot melt glue can be used on the edges of the paper to keep the filter wrapped. In addition, cigarette paper may use starch glue to join the edges of the paper. Finally the tipping paper can be coated more completely with hot melt adhesive, that is to say on most surfaces rather than just in the seam area, so as to ensure that the filter segment remains fully attached to the tobacco segment. In some smoking articles, ventilation holes are made through the tipping paper, or through the tipping paper and wrapper, to allow air to be drawn into the aerosol stream.

In some embodiments, the filter may have a diameter in the range of about 5 mm to about 10 mm and a length of about 5 mm to about 35 mm. In some embodiments, such as for ultraslim or super slim cigarettes, the filter may have a diameter in the range of less than 5 mm, eg, 3 mm or less, including but not limited to a lower diameter limit of 0.5 mm. For the cigar embodiment, the filter may optionally have a diameter greater than 20mm, such as about 30mm. Likewise, the size of filters for other smoking devices may vary based on intended use and consumer needs (eg, in pipes).

In FIG. 4 , a pipe 40 has a burner bowl 42 , a mouthpiece 44 , and a channel 46 interconnecting the burner bowl 42 with the mouthpiece 44 . Channel 46 includes cavity 47 . Cavity 47 is adapted to receive filter 48 . Filter 48 may be a multi-segmented segmented filter as discussed above or may consist solely of a porous mass. The size of the filter may vary based on the size of the cavity 47 . In some embodiments, filter 48 may be removable, replaceable, disposable, recyclable, and/or degradable.

In the foregoing embodiments, the conventional material and the porous mass are "connected". As used herein, the term "connected" means that the porous mass is in line (or continuously) adjoining the cigarette branch or another filter segment so that when the cigarette is smoked, the smoke from the cigarette branch must pass through (e.g. continuously ) porous substance in order to reach its intended recipient (eg, a smoker). As mentioned above, the porous mass may be attached to the cigarette stick via paper wrapping techniques, eg, using paper and/or adhesives. Additionally, in some embodiments, an adhesive may be used to attach the porous mass to the cigarette limb, preferably having no components that would interfere with the objectives of the present invention after combustion.

As shown in Figures 1-3, in some embodiments, filter segments comprising a porous mass and at least one other filter segment may be coaxial, juxtaposed, contiguous, and have equal cross-sectional areas (or substantially equal cross-sectional area). However, it should be understood that the porous mass and conventional material need not be connected in this manner, and may have other possible configurations. Furthermore, although it is envisioned that the porous mass will most often be used in a combined or multi-segmented cigarette filter assembly, as shown in Figures 1-3; 4 discussed. Furthermore, while in some embodiments the porous mass is juxtaposed with the cigarette stick, as shown in FIG. 1 , the present disclosure is not so limited. For example, the porous mass of the present invention may be separated from the tobacco by a hollow cavity (eg, a tube or channel, such as in a pipe or water pipe or cigarette or cigar mouthpiece), see eg FIG. 4 . In other embodiments, the porous mass of the present invention can be separated from the cigarette stick by flexing the member, thereby allowing the consumer to shape the smoking device.

In some embodiments, the porous mass of the present invention comprises active particles held together at least in part by binder particles. See, for example, FIG. 5 for a photomicrograph of an embodiment of a porous mass having active particles (eg, activated carbon particles) 50 and binder particles 52 therein. An example of a contact point is shown at 54 . NOTE: In this embodiment (FIG. 5), the binder particles and active particles are joined at contact points that are randomly distributed throughout the porous mass and the binder particles retain their original solid shape (or approximately Its original shape, eg, no more than 10% change (eg, reduction) in shape from the original shape. (Active particles and binder particles are discussed in more detail below.) While not wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that contact points are formed when the binder particles are heated to their softening point, but not heated enough to reach a true melt . In some embodiments, it is believed that the porous mass of the present invention is constructed such that it exhibits a minimum closed pressure drop (defined below), while maximizing the surface area of the active particles.

Any weight ratio of active particles to binder particles in the porous mass may be present. In some embodiments, the ratio may be from about 1 to about 99% by weight active particles and from about 99 to about 1% by weight binder particles. In some embodiments, the ratio may be from about 25 to about 99% by weight active particles and from about 1 to about 75% by weight binder particles. In some embodiments, the ratio may be from about 40 to about 99% by weight active particles and from about 1 to about 60% by weight binder particles. In one embodiment of the porous mass, the active particles comprise from about 50 to about 99% by weight of the mass and the binder particles comprise from about 1 to about 50% by weight of the mass. In another embodiment, the active particles comprise from about 60 to about 95% by weight of the mass and the binder particles comprise from about 5 to about 40% by weight of the mass. Furthermore, in another embodiment, the active particles comprise from about 75 to about 90% by weight of the mass and the binder particles comprise from about 10 to about 25% by weight of the mass.

In one embodiment of the porous mass, the porous mass has a void volume in the range of about 40% to about 90%. In another embodiment, it has a void volume of about 60% to about 90%. In another embodiment, it has a void volume of from about 60% to about 85%. Void volume is the free space left after taking into account the space occupied by the active particles.

For the determination of void volume, while not wishing to be bound by any particular theory, it is believed that the tests indicated that the final density of the mixture was driven almost entirely by the active particles; therefore the space occupied by the binder particles was not considered for this calculation. Therefore, in this case the void volume is calculated based on the space left after taking into account the active particles. To determine void volume, the upper and lower mesh size-based diameter limits of the active particles are first averaged, then the volume is calculated (based on the average diameter, assuming a spherical shape) and the density of the active material is used. The percent void volume is then calculated as follows:

In one embodiment, the porous mass has an enclosed pressure drop (EPD) in the range of about 0.10 to about 25 mm of water/mm of porous mass length. As used herein, the term "enclosed pressure drop" means when the sample is traversed by a gas flow under steady conditions, when the volume flow is 17.5 ml/s at the output, when the sample is completely enclosed in the measuring device so that no gas The difference in static pressure between the two ends of the sample when it can pass through the wrapper. EPD has been measured herein according to CORESTA ("Cooperation Center for Scientific Research Relative to Tobacco") Recommendation Method No. 41 dated June 2007. In another embodiment, the porous mass of the present invention may have an EPD in the range of about 0.10 to about 10 mm water/mm porous mass length. In other embodiments, the porous mass of the present invention may have an EPD of about 2 to about 7 mm water/mm porous mass length (or no greater than 7 mm water/mm porous mass length). In order to obtain the desired EPD, the active particles must have a larger particle size than the binder particles. In one embodiment, the ratio of binder particle size to active particle size is in the range of about 1:1.5 to about 1:4.

In some embodiments, the porous substances of the present invention may have at least about 1 mg/mm, 2 mg/mm, 3 mg/mm, 4 mg/mm, 5 mg/mm, 6 mg/mm, 7 mg/mm, 8 mg/mm, 9 mg/mm , 10mg/mm, 11mg/mm, 12mg/mm, 13mg/mm, 14mg/mm, 15mg/mm, 16mg/mm, 17mg/mm, 18mg/mm, 19mg/mm, 20mg/mm, 21mg/mm, 22mg /mm, 23mg/mm, 24mg/mm or 25mg/mm active particle loading and less than about 20mm water or less/mm porous mass, 19mm water or less/mm porous mass, 18mm water or less/mm porous mass, 17mm water or below/mm porous substance, 16mm water or below/mm porous substance, 15mm water or below/mm porous substance, 14mm water or below/mm porous substance, 13mm water or below/mm porous substance, 12mm water or below/mm porous substance Substance, 11mm water or below/mm porous substance, 10mm water or below/mm porous substance, 9mm water or below/mm porous substance, 8mm water or below/mm porous substance, 7mm water or below/mm porous substance, 6mm water or Below/mm porous substance, 5mm water or below/mm porous substance, 4mm water or below/mm porous substance, 3mm water or below/mm porous substance, 2mm water or below/mm porous substance, or 1mm water or below/mm porous substance substance. For example, in some embodiments, the porous mass can have an active particle loading of at least about 1 mg/mm and an EPD of about 20 mm water or less per mm of porous mass. In other embodiments, the porous mass may have an active particle loading of at least about 1 mg/mm and an EPD of about 20 mm water or less per mm of porous mass where the active particles are other than carbon. In other embodiments, the porous mass may have an EPD of at least 6 mg/mm loading of active particles comprising carbon and 10 mm water or less per mm of porous mass.

Depending on the method by which the porous mass is made, the porous mass can be of any desired length. In a batch molding process, for example, the length will likely match the dimensions of the mold used. Alternatively, in a continuous process, the porous mass may be one longer continuous cylinder of any desired length. Either way, the porous mass can then be cut into desired smaller lengths or segments. The desired length may depend on the particular application in which the porous material may be used. In one embodiment, the porous mass may have a length from about 1 mm to about 35 mm. In another embodiment, the porous mass may have a length of from about 2 mm to about 30 mm. In another, the porous mass may have a length of from about 7 mm to about 20 mm.

A porous mass can have any solid shape. In some embodiments, the porous mass can have a helical shape, a triangular shape, a disc shape, or a square shape. In one embodiment it is in the shape of a cylinder. Mixed shapes of these shapes may also be suitable. In some embodiments, the porous mass can be machined to be lighter in weight, if desired, for example, by drilling through a portion of the porous mass. In one embodiment, the porous mass may have a specific shape suitable for a cigarette mouthpiece or pipe adapted to fit a cigarette mouthpiece or pipe so that smoke may pass through the filter to the consumer. When discussing the shape of a porous mass herein, shape may be referred to in terms of the diameter of the cross-section of a cylinder, or the circumference (where the circumference is the circumference of a circle), as opposed to conventional smoking device filters. However, in embodiments where the porous mass of the present invention is in a shape other than a true cylinder, it is understood that the term "perimeter" is intended to refer to the circumference of any shape cross-section, including circular cross-sections.

The active particles may be any material adapted to enhance the flow of smoke thereover. Any material adapted to enhance the flow of smoke over which a component may be removed, reduced or added to the flow of smoke. Removal or reduction (or addition) may be optional. For example, in the smoke stream from a cigarette, compounds such as those shown below in the following list can be selectively removed or reduced. This form is available from the U.S. FDA in the form of Draft Proposed Initial List of Harmful/Potentially Harmful Constituents in Tobacco Products, including Tobacco Smoke (including draft preliminary list of harmful/potentially harmful ingredients in cigarette products including tobacco smoke); any of the following lists Abbreviations are for chemicals well known in the art. In some embodiments, the active particles can reduce or remove at least one component selected from the following list of components in smoke, including any combination thereof.

One example of an active material is activated carbon (or activated charcoal or activated coal). The activated carbon can be low activity (about 50% to about 75% _CCl4 adsorption) or high activity (about 75% to about 95% _CCl4 adsorption) or a combination of the two. In some embodiments, the activated carbon can be nanoscale carbon particles such as carbon nanotubes with many walls, carbon nanohorns, bamboo-like carbon nanostructures, fullerenes and fullerene aggregates, and graphene, including Several layers of graphene and graphene oxide. Other examples of these materials include ion exchange resins, desiccants, silicates, molecular sieves, metallocene complexes, silica gel, metallocene complexes, activated alumina, zeolites, perlite, sepiolite, Fuller's earth, magnesium silicate, metal oxides (e.g., iron oxide and iron oxide nanoparticles, such as about 12 nm Fe ₃ O ₄ ), nanoparticles (e.g., metal nanoparticles such as gold and silver; metal oxide nanoparticles such as aluminum oxide ; magnetic, paramagnetic, and superparamagnetic nanoparticles such as gadolinium oxide, various crystalline structures of iron oxides such as hematite and magnetite, gadolinium nanotubes, and embedded fullerenes such as GdC ₆₀ ; and core-shell and Onion-like nanoparticles such as gold and silver nanoshells, onion-like iron oxide, and other nanoparticles or microparticles having a shell layer of any of the described materials) and any combination of the foregoing (including activated carbon). It should be noted that nanoparticles include nanorods, nanospheres, nanorice, nanowires, nanostars (such as nanotriangular structures and nanotetragonal structures), hollow nanostructures, mixtures of two or more nanoparticles linked into one particle Nanostructures, and non-nanoparticles with nanocoatings or nanometer-thick walls. It should be further noted that nanoparticles include functionalized derivatives of nanoparticles, including but not limited to nanoparticles that have been covalently and/or non-covalently functionalized, such as π-stacking, physisorption, ionic association, van der Waals ( van der Waals) association, etc. Suitable functional groups may include, but are not limited to, amines (1°, 2°, or 3°), amides, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, esters, peroxides, silyls, organosilanes, hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons , and segments of any combination thereof; polymers; chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salts, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, and structures comprising pyrrole rings; and any combination thereof. The functional groups can enhance the removal of smoke components and/or enhance the incorporation of nanoparticles into the porous mass. Ion exchange resins include, for example, polymers having a backbone such as styrene-divinylbenzene (DVB) copolymers, acrylates, methacrylates, phenol formaldehyde condensates, and epichlorohydrin amine condensates; and multiple charged functional groups attached to the polymer backbone. In some embodiments, the active particle is a combination of various active particles. In some embodiments, a porous mass may include a plurality of active particles. In some embodiments, the active granule may comprise at least one ingredient selected from the group of active granules disclosed herein. It should be noted that "ingredients" is used as an umbrella term to describe the items in the list. In some embodiments, the active particles are combined with at least one flavoring agent.

In some embodiments, a mixture of active particles can be used to remove multiple noxious substances from a smoke stream. For example, while activated charcoal has proven successful in removing substances such as formaldehyde and acetone from cigarette smoke, it is ineffective at removing carbon monoxide. However, carbon monoxide can be removed from gas streams by exposure to iodine pentoxide, molecular sieves (eg, metallocene complexes), molecular oxides, metal catalysts (eg, palladium), and the like.

In one embodiment, the active particles have a particle size ranging from particles having at least one dimension less than about one nanometer, such as graphene, up to particles having a diameter of about 5000 microns. The active particles may be in the range of about the lower size limit in at least one of the following dimensions: 0.1 nanometer, 0.5 nanometer, 1 nanometer, 10 nanometer, 100 nanometer, 500 nanometer, 1 micrometer, 5 micrometer, 10 micrometer, 50 micrometer, 100 microns, 150 microns, 200 microns and 250 microns. The active particles may be in the range of about the upper size limit in at least one of the following dimensions: 5000 microns, 2000 microns, 1000 microns, 900 microns, 700 microns, 500 microns, 400 microns, 300 microns, 250 microns, 200 microns, 150 microns Micron, 100 micron, 50 micron, 10 micron and 500 nm.

The porous mass is effective in removing components from the smoke, such as those listed above. Porous materials can be used to reduce the delivery of certain components of tobacco smoke targeted by WHO. For example, porous materials in which activated carbon is used as the active particle can be used to reduce the delivery of certain tobacco smoke components below the levels recommended by WHO. (See Table 13 below). In one embodiment, the porous mass in which activated carbon is used has a length in the range of about 4 mm to about 11 mm. Components include: acetaldehyde, acrolein, benzene, benzo[a]pyrene, 1,3-butadiene and formaldehyde. The porous mass with activated carbon is capable of reducing acetaldehyde in the smoke stream by about 3.0% to about 6.5%/mm of porous mass length; reducing acrolein in the smoke stream by about 7.5% to about 12%/mm of porous mass length; Benzene in the smoke stream is reduced by about 5.5% to about 8.0%/mm porous mass length; benzo[a]pyrene in the smoke stream is reduced by about 9.0% to about 21.0%/mm porous mass length; , 3-butadiene reduces about 1.5% to about 3.5%/mm of porous mass length; and reduces formaldehyde in the smoke stream by about 9.0% to about 11.0%/mm of porous mass length. In another example, porous materials in which ion exchange resins are used as active particles can be used to reduce the delivery of certain tobacco smoke components below WHO recommendations. See Table 14 below. In one embodiment, the porous mass in which the ion exchange resin is used has a length in the range of about 7 mm to about 1 mm. Components include: acetaldehyde, acrolein and formaldehyde. In some embodiments, the inventive porous mass with ion exchange resins can reduce acetaldehyde in the aerosol stream by about 5.0% to about 7.0% per mm of porous mass length; reduce acrolein in the aerosol stream by about 4.0% to about 6.5%/mm of porous mass length; and reducing formaldehyde in the smoke stream by about 9.0% to about 11.0%/mm of porous mass length.

Porous substances can be produced by any suitable method. In some embodiments, this can be a batch process. In others, this can be a continuous process.

In one embodiment of a suitable method, active particles and binder particles are blended together and introduced into a mold. The mold is heated to a temperature at or above the melting point of the binder particles, eg, about 150°C to 300°C in one embodiment, and held at a temperature for a period of time sufficient to heat the mold and its contents to the desired temperature. Thereafter, the mass was removed from the mold and cooled to room temperature. These methods can be performed in small or large batches that may be suitable for commercial production.

In some embodiments, a suitable method may be a free sintering method because the binder particles do not flow (or flow very little) at the sintering temperature and no pressure is applied to the blended material in the mold. In this embodiment, point bonds are formed between the active particles and the binder particles. This is believed to enable excellent bond formation and maximize pore space while minimizing clogging of the active particle surface by free-flowing molten adhesive. See also US Patents 6,770,736, 7,049,382, and 7,160,453, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Alternatively, the porous mass of the present invention can be made by a process involving sintering under pressure. When the mixture of active particles and binder particles is heated (or at a temperature which may be lower than, equal to or higher than the melting temperature of the binder particles), pressure is applied to the mixture in order to promote coalescence of the porous mass.

Additionally, in some embodiments, the porous mass can be made by an extrusion sintering process in which the mixture is heated in an extruder barrel and extruded into the porous mass.

Any suitable method of forming a smoking device filter comprising the porous mass of the present invention may be used in conjunction with the porous mass. For example, in one embodiment, an apparatus for producing a filter for a smoking device may be used, the apparatus having at least a plurality of regions comprising: a container region comprising at least a plurality of first filter segments; A second container region comprising at least a plurality of second filter segments comprising a porous mass having active particles and binder particles, the porous mass having a mass of at least about 1 mg/mm Active particle loading, EPD of about 20mm water or less/mm porous matter; connection area, where the first filter segment is connected to the second filter segment; packaging area, where the first filter segment is wrapped with paper and a second filter segment to form the smoking device filter; and a conveyor for transporting the smoking device filter to a subsequent area for storage or use. In some embodiments, filter rods can be formed during this process, which include multiple filters that, when cut, can be used to form multiple smoking devices (e.g., 4 cigarettes per 1 filter rod) ).

In some embodiments, the smoking device filter may be shipped directly to a production line where it is combined with cigarette sticks to form the smoking device. An example of such a method includes a method of producing a smoking device comprising: providing a filter rod comprising at least one filter segment comprising a porous mass comprising active particles and binder particles; providing a cigarette; cutting the filter rod transversely to its longitudinal axis through the center of the rod to form at least two filters having at least one filter segment, each filter segment comprising a porous mass comprising active particles and binder particles; And at least one of the filters is attached to the cigarette along the longitudinal axis of the filter and the longitudinal axis of the cigarette to form at least one smoking device.

In traditional cigarette making, the machines that join the filter segments to the cigarette stick, and the machines that join the segments of the multi-segment component filter together, tend to separate the segments of the cigarette as they go through the joining process. compression. In some embodiments, the porous masses of the present invention may be incompressible or less compressible than conventional cellulose acetate filter segments, which may cause difficulties in some manufacturing processes. In embodiments where ultra-high molecular weight polymers are used, such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, the porous mass of the present invention tends to be incompressible. In these cases, it may be desirable to wrap or encapsulate the segment of porous mass with a compressible material. The wrapping or encapsulating material is positioned along the longitudinal axis of the porous mass filter segment such that the wrapping or encapsulating material is between the porous mass and the wrapper. The wrapping or encapsulating material should be chosen such that it provides the desired compressibility while also exhibiting a relatively high pressure drop such that the smoke drawn through the segment preferably passes through a porous mass rather than the wrapping or encapsulating material or the encapsulating material is larger than The closed pressure drop of a porous substance. In some embodiments, the packaging material may have a closed pressure drop that is 1% higher than that of the porous mass, in other embodiments the difference may be 5% higher, 10% higher, 25% higher, 50% higher, higher 75%, 100% higher, 125% higher, 150% higher, 175% higher, 200% higher, 225% higher, 250% higher, 275% higher, or 300% higher. Those skilled in the art recognize that the difference in closure pressure drop between the packaging or encapsulating material and the porous mass may be higher as long as the user is not adversely affected and as long as the packaging or encapsulating material continues to provide the desired compressibility. In some embodiments, the packaging or encapsulating material may include cellulose acetate, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyolefin tow, polypropylene tow, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, Randomly oriented acetate, paper, corrugated, carbon fiber tow, silica, magnesium silicate, nylon, cellulose, and any combination thereof. In other embodiments, the wrapping or encapsulating material is placed along the longitudinal axis of the porous mass filter segment such that the wrapping or encapsulating material is external to the wrapper. Those skilled in the art realize that the diameter of the porous mass must be chosen so as to compensate for the increase in diameter when layers of paper or packaging or encapsulating material are added. The final filter diameter must match the cigarette diameter for the filter/cigarette combination step. In other embodiments, the wrapping or encapsulating material is placed along the longitudinal axis of the porous mass filter segment such that the wrapping or encapsulating material is in direct contact with the porous mass. This combination can eliminate the use of paper in the sintering process. In other embodiments, the smoking device filter may be placed in a suitable container for storage until further use. Suitable storage containers include those commonly used in the smoking device filter art, including but not limited to boxes, boxes, drums, bags, cartons, and the like. Storage and shipping containers for porous mass filter segments of the present invention may need to be altered to account for the presence of porous mass. For example, cylindrical and other shaped rods or cigarettes incorporating porous mass filter segments of the present invention may weigh more, or be more fragile, than cellulose acetate filter segments. Additionally, due to the reactive nature of the porous mass, it may be desirable to ship porous mass segments or cigarettes incorporating porous mass segments such that the porous mass is not exposed to environmental contamination.
