Description

A kind of negative ion melt-blown superfine fiber cigarette filter material and preparation method thereof

technical field

The invention relates to the field of cigarette filter tip materials and non-woven fields, in particular to a negative ion melt-blown superfine fiber cigarette filter tip material and a preparation method thereof.

Background technique

Cigarette smoke contains particulates, commonly called tar. Tar contains a large number of chemical components, 4,000 to 5,000 species, which are all products of incomplete combustion of tobacco. Cigarette filters are used to filter harmful substances such as tar in tobacco. At present, the commonly used cigarette filter material is acetate fiber cigarette filter, and acetate fiber is obtained by wet spinning, the production process is long, the solvent used in the spinning process is harmful to the environment, and there are three wastes pollution. In addition, the effect of cellulose acetate fiber in filtering out harmful carcinogens (such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and aldehydes) in mainstream cigarette smoke is not very satisfactory, and only about 40% of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are removed.

Cigarette filters filter smoke components to reduce inhalation of tar and nicotine. However, after the cigarette is equipped with a cigarette filter, the suction resistance is greatly increased, and the more toxic substances are. For example, carbon monoxide, benzopyrene, etc. are all generated by the incomplete combustion of organic substances contained in tobacco during the smoking process. more. The finer the fibers, the better the filtration performance. The three main functions of cigarette filters include direct interception, inertial compaction and diffusion deposition, the most common being direct interception of cigarette filters. Filtration is a complex process, which means that after the tar droplets are separated from the smoke, they stick to the surface of the cigarette filter material when they reach it. The finer the fiber, the higher the filtering efficiency of the cigarette filter. The diameter of the acetate fiber used in the conventional filter is between 7 and 20 μm.

At the same time, the tourmaline minerals evenly embedded in the microfiber can continuously release a high concentration of negative ions. Cigarettes with negative ion melt-blown microfiber cigarette filters are manufactured from cigarettes, packaged into boxes, and discarded after use. , has been under the action of negative ions. The result of the long-term effect is that it not only reduces the content of tar and nicotine harmful substances, but also plays a certain role in preserving freshness and preventing mildew, so that the irritation of cigarettes is weakened and the taste is soft. During the smoking process of the cigarette, the burning smoke collides with the high-concentration negative ions when passing through the filter with the help of suction, and the harmful components such as smoke tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide, etc. are further decomposed. Due to the limited length of the filter, most of the negative ions are sucked into the mouth together with the smoke before they can work. Continue in the residual flue gas until it is completely exhausted. After electret treatment, the electret charge storage performance is good, and the charge retention rate can reach more than 2 years.
