Technical field
The present invention relates to cellulose ester, particularly, relate to the cellulose ester that shows improved degraded.
Background technology
Typical cigarette filter is made by the continuous filament yarn tow band of cellulose acetate base fiber, is called as cellulose acetate tow, or is called simply acetate tow.In various patents, described use acetate tow and manufactured filter tip, and tow can be plasticized.Referring to, for example, US Patent No. 2,794,239.
Except continuous fiber, can use short fiber, it is shorter, and it can promote filter-tip final degraded.Referring to, for example, US Patent No. 3,658,626, it discloses directly and has produced short fiber smoke filter element and its analog by continuous fiber tow.These short fibers also can be plasticized.
For the acetate tow of cigarette fiber, conventionally fiber Y-Shaped, little filament denier, consist of, it is by highly curling and tangle wittingly, as in US Patent No. 2,953, described in 838.Y type allows best cigarette filter, and it is compared and have minimum weight with other fiber shapes for given pressure drop.Referring to US Patent No. 2,829,027.The fiber of little filament denier, in the every filament denier of 1.6-8 (dpf) scope, is used to manufacture effective filter tip conventionally.In structure filter tip, the improved filter tip consolidation of curling permission of fiber and the tow weight reducing for given pressure drop.
Can acetate tow be changed into cigarette filter by tow regulating system and plugmaker (plugmaker), for example, in US Patent No. 3,017, described in 309.Tow regulating system is taken out tow from packing, sprawls and unties (de-registers) (" separately (bloom) ") fiber, and tow is sent to plugmaker.Plugmaker compression tow, wraps it with filter stick formation paper, and is cut to the rod that is applicable to length.In order further to increase filter-tip consolidation, nonvolatile solvent can be added in solvent (fiber is combined).These solvent bonding agent media are called as plasticizer in the industry; and always comprised glyceryl triacetate (triacetyl glycerine), two acetic acid binaryglycol esters, tfiethylene glycol diacetate, glyceryl tripropanoate, CitroflexA-2 and triethyl citrate.Wax has also been used to improve filter tip consolidation.Referring to, for example, US Patent No. 2,904,050.
Traditional plasticizer fiber-fiber binder is very effective for combination and selective filter.Yet plasticizer is not water miscible conventionally, and fiber will be longin time, keep combination.In fact, due to the height entanglement character of filter fiber, solvent combination between fiber and the intrinsic slow degradation of cellulose acetate polymer, traditional cigarette filter tip may need degrade over several years and decompose after discarded.Therefore, attempt the cigarette filter that research and development have improved degradability.

describe in detail
Although can be by the rutile of about 200 nanometers of size typetitanium dioxide granule offers cellulose esters so that good light scattering and minimum photolytic activity to be provided, with by anatase titanium dioxide particle for strengthening the degraded of cigarette filter, but the present invention but relates to the titanium dioxide granule that mixes phase, below be described as mixing phase titanic oxide particle, its with by anatase form or rutile form, is formed separately those compare, the degraded under ultraviolet (UV) radiation strengthening is provided.Mixing phase titanic oxide particle of the present invention is for especially uncoated and have those of ultra-fine grain diameter (<100 nanometer), to realize optimal light activity.
We determine, when with rutile fully or when the Particle Phase of the crystal structure of anatase compares fully, the titanium dioxide granule with the mixture of anatase and rutile crystal structure, mixes phase particle, and the most degradation amount under the existence of ultraviolet ray (UV) radiation is provided.Thus, the present invention relates to wherein be incorporated to the cellulose esters of the titanium dioxide granule of the mixing phase with anatase and rutile crystal, especially there are those of uncoated surface and ultra-fine (<100 nanometer) particle diameter.Can in every way described mixing phase titanic oxide particle be offered to this cellulose esters.
When we say " Rutile Type " or " rutile-type crystal structure ", we refer to the structure by the modal native form of the definite titanium dioxide of its unique x-ray diffraction pattern.This mutually or crystal structure can, for example, by X-ray crystallography, differentiate.When we say " Anatase " or " Detitanium-ore-type crystal structure ", we refer to the known structure of being determined by its x-ray diffraction pattern.This mutually or crystal structure equally can, for example, by X-ray crystallography, differentiate.The structure of these phases or crystal is well-known in titanium dioxide field, easily in mode described herein, identifies to those skilled in the art thus.
Thus, mixing phase titanic oxide particle used according to the invention, is characterized by and in same particle, have rutile-type and Detitanium-ore-type crystal structure simultaneously.By term " mixing phase ", we are not intended to comprise one or another kind of particle in described two kinds of structures only with trace.Thus, the amount that is present in the Anatase in mixing phase particle is passable, for example, and from approximately 50% to approximately 99%, or from 60% to 98%, or from 75% to 95% variation, in each situation, all by X-ray crystallography, measure.Being present in Rutile Type in this particle can be equally in a similar fashion, for example, and from approximately 1% to approximately 50%, or from 2% to 40%, or from 5% to 25% variation, in each situation, all by X-radiocrystallography, measure.We have found that these particles are particularly suitable for strengthening the filter-tip degraded of wherein having used them.Do not wish to be limited to any theory, we think, the adaptability of this mixing phase particle may be because Rutile Type provides better ultraviolet ray (UV) to absorb, and Anatase provides better photocatalysis performance.Thus, the present invention relates to use and mix phase titanic oxide particle at cellulose esters (as for those of cigarette filter), do not consider the method for combination,, no matter be to provide to plasticizer, in fiber, still otherwise provide.
Of course, for example, by as the method for flame hydrolysis of titanium tetrachloride and so on, prepare according to available mixing phase titanic oxide particle of the present invention.Can obtain relatively highly purified mixing phase titanic oxide particle by the method.Referring to, for example, the Titanium Compounds (Inorganic) entry of Kirk-Othmer, Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 225-274 page, the 24th volume, the 4th edition, John Wiley and Sons, 1997.Also can use the gaseous oxidation of titanium tetrachloride.Id. also can use other method, the particle that wherein obtained has the mixture of Anatase and Rutile Type in same particle, as described.
The surface area of mixing phase titanic oxide particle of the present invention is passable, for example, and from approximately 10 to about 300m 2/ g, or from 20 to 200m 2/ g, or from 40 to 100m 2/ g changes, as measured by GAS ABSORPTION in BET specific area method.
The amount that offers the mixing phase titanic oxide particle of cellulose esters can change in wide scope, for example, and from approximately 0.01 to about 20wt.%, or from 0.2 to 10 wt.%, or from 0.2 to 5 wt.%.The amount of the titanium dioxide granule providing in some respects, can depend on the solution viscosity in fiber manufacture process.According to the present invention, the various particle diameters of titanium dioxide are available, for example, from approximately 1 nanometer to approximately 10 microns, from or 1 nanometer to 1 micron, from or 1 nanometer to 500 nanometer, or from 1 nanometer to 250 nanometer, or from 3 nanometer to 100 nanometers, or from 5 nanometer to 50 nanometers.We have found that, nano-scale particle is particularly useful for of the present invention.Do not wish to be limited to any theory, this may be because the use of less particle diameter provides higher surface area.Second possible reason is that little particle diameter is further penetrated in cellulose esters ultraviolet ray (UV) radiation, and degraded is advanced from surface, causes thus the more degraded of depths in cellulose esters.
Although given particle diameter refers to primary particle size, this optical active matter can not only exist with discrete particle, also with agglomerated thing, exists.We have found that, the particle existing as agglomerated thing compatibly strengthens generated filter-tip degraded, but can mill particle, for example, if necessary, to obtain more uniformly and primary particle size.
The titanium particle with uncoated applying is all applicable to the present invention.The coating agent that can be applied to titanium dioxide granule comprises, for example, and carbon coating.Can be combined on titanium dioxide surface or inner coating agent comprises, for example, carbon coating and hydrated metal sulfate (MSO 4* xH2O, M=Zn, Fe, Co, Mg etc.), do not wish to be limited to any theory, some coating (for example carbon coating) can, for example, by allowing visible absorption to promote the light degradation of filter-tip expectation.
Modification and unmodified titanium particle are all applicable to the present invention, for example carbon modified particles.Although mixing phase oxidation titanium particle according to the present invention is mainly Rutile Type and Anatase, described particle can therein or have carbon modification on it.Carbon modification or doping, can be for example, by ethanol carbonization or the absorption by dyestuff, realizes.Do not wish to be limited to any theory, some modification (for example carbon coating) can, for example, by allowing visible absorption, promote the light degradation of filter-tip expectation.Another kind of theory is that carbon modification (as carbon doping) can be suppressed at anatase in high-temperature process to the phase transformation of rutile and reduce crystalline size.
On the one hand, mixing phase titanic oxide particle of the present invention can be offered to this cellulose esters and " spin liquid ", that is, offer the cellulose esters being dissolved in acetone, therefrom spinning fibre element ester fiber.Can be in every way, for example, by being incorporated to cellulose acetate, glyceryl triacetate and Τ iO 2mixture, mixing phase titanic oxide particle is offered and spins liquid.Or described particle can pass through Τ iO 2be blended in hydrophilic solvent and provide, it will allow best particle to disperse.The further example that titanium dioxide granule is dispersed in cellulose ester fiber is included in US Patent No. 5,970, those that list in 988, and it is incorporated herein by reference, although being characterized as of titanium dioxide granule of the present invention mixes phase titanic oxide particle.
In moulding article, can, for example by with polymer concentrates high shear blend, mixing phase titanic oxide particle of the present invention is provided.
We have also determined, in the manufacture of cigarette filter, the use of the optical active matter in plasticizer also causes the decomposition rate of the increase of the filter structure that generates, as being exposed in environment out of doors, on the filter tip of ultraviolet ray (UV) radiation, measure.This is different from when forming fiber optical active matter is added in fiber, for example, spins in liquid, by optical active matter being added to cellulose esters as described in just now.Yet, the present invention relates to use and mix phase titanic oxide particle, no matter be to provide in cellulose ester fiber or in plasticizer or in both.In the common pending application with submitting to a little same dates, titanium dioxide granule is used in application protection in plasticizer separately, and no matter whether particle is to mix phase in itself.
Term used herein " plasticizer " is intended to describe a kind of solvent, and when being applied to cellulose ester fiber, it is by fiber solvent-combine.Available plasticizer according to the present invention comprise following one or more: the mixture of glyceryl triacetate (triacetyl glycerine), two acetic acid binaryglycol esters, tfiethylene glycol diacetate, glyceryl tripropanoate, CitroflexA-2, triethyl citrate and glyceryl triacetate and one or more polyethylene glycol.This blend or mixture can optionally comprise polymer, water-soluble polymer for example, as thering is a cellulose acetate of the DS/ADU of 0.6-0.9, polyester, as methylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose, polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH).
As used herein, mixing phase titanic oxide particle of the present invention is also referred to as " optical active matter ", and play this reagent, mean, in being added to the plasticizer that puts on cellulose ester fiber, or while being added to cellulose esters itself, improve when be exposed to UV radiation described in the ester speed of degrading.
When applying with plasticizer, any in can be is in many ways dispersed in mixing phase particle in plasticizer, for example, and by using high shear mixing equipment, as medium mill or ultrasonic probe.The stability of the mixing phase particle in plasticizer,, in filter tip manufacture process, particle keeps being suspended in the trend in plasticizer, can be by a certain amount of cellulose esters be added in plasticizer and is strengthened, for example, with about 0.1%-approximately 20%, or the amount of 0.2-10%, the viscosity of the plasticizer solution based on generated.Can be by providing a certain amount of polyethylene glycol further to strengthen stability to this plasticizer, described polyethylene glycol has, and for example, about 100-approximately 400, or the molecular weight of 200-1000, with about 0.1%-approximately 20%, or the amount of 0.2%-10%.
Those skilled in the art will easily recognize, at plasticizer but not provide optical active matter to allow to use traditional acetate tow in fiber, and without the formula of this ester or tow is done to any change.Yet the mixing phase particle in plasticizer may affect, for example, the viscosity of plasticizer, if especially combine stabilizing agent, as cellulose esters and/or polyethylene glycol.Thus, preferably select stabilizing agent in order to avoid affect viscosity, for example, by relatively low-molecular-weight cellulose esters or polyethylene glycol or both are provided.
Term used herein " cellulose esters " means can be by, and for example, melt-spun or solvent are spun into one or more cellulose esters of fiber, as cellulose acetate.Thus, available cellulose esters according to the present invention includes, but are not limited to, cellulose acetate, cellulose propionate and there is the cellulose butyrate of different degree of substitution, and these mixed ester, that is, and cellulose acetate propionate, acetylbutyrylcellulose and acetate propionate cellulose butyrate.Cellulose esters of the present invention can be two cellulose esters.The example of suitable ester comprises cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate propionate and acetylbutyrylcellulose thus, as in US Patent No. 1,698,049,1,683,347,1,880,808,1,880,560,1,984,147,2,129,052 and 3,617, described in 201, they are incorporated herein by reference.
Thus, although cigarette filter is made by cellulose acetate fibre traditionally, the present invention is not strictly limited to traditional ester.And; although the substitution value (DS/AGU) for typical every dehydrated glucose unit of the acetate of cigarette filter is approximately 2.45; but can easily use and there are a series of acetyl group levels; as 1.5-2.8 or 1.8-2.7 or 1.9-2.5; or for example, the ester of approximately 2.0 average DS/AGU also builds fiber.We notice that lower DS/AGU value can provide biodegradation faster.
Cellulose esters of the present invention can be spun into fiber, for example pass through melt-spun or by suitable solvent (for example pass through, acetone, acetone/water, oxolane, methylene chloride/methanol, chloroform, diox, DMF, methyl-sulfoxide, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate or pyridine) spinning.When by solvent spinning, type and the DS/AGU that ester replaces depended in the selection of solvent.For the suitable solvent of spinning fibre, be the acetone of the water that comprises 0-30%.For the cellulose acetate with the DS/AGU of 2.4-2.6, preferred spin solvent is the acetone that comprises the water that is less than 3%.For the cellulose acetate with the DS/AGU of 2.0-2.4, the aqueous acetone solution that preferred spin solvent is 5-15%.For the cellulose acetate with the DS/AGU of 1.7-2.0, the aqueous acetone solution that preferred solvent is 15-30%.
When melt spun fibre, cellulose esters or plasticized fibre element ester can have, the melt temperature of for example 120 ℃-250 ℃, or 180 ℃-220 ℃.The example that is used for the suitable plasticizer of melt spun fibre element ester comprises, but be not limited to diethyl phthalate, dipropyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, triacetyl glycerine, dioctyl adipate, polyethylene glycol-200 or polyethylene glycol-200 or PEG-4000.Preferred plasticizer for melt-spun comprises dibutyl phthalate, dioctyl adipate or PEG-4000.
The cellulose ester fiber using can be continuous fiber, can be maybe the short fiber with shorter length, and it makes fiber be easier to degraded.Thus, short fiber can have about 4-20 mm, or 5-18 mm, or the length of 7-16 mm.
Available cellulose ester fiber according to the present invention is normally curling, has, for example, the per inch crispation number of 4-20, or the per inch crispation number of 10-15.This fiber has 20-0.1 or the every filament denier of 5-1.5 (DPF) conventionally.In order to process, described fiber can optionally comprise lubricant or processing aid, and as mineral oil, with 0.1-3%, or the amount of 0.3%-0.8% is used.
Although particulate additives is generally added in fiber to strengthen filter-tip whiteness, these additives are generally the titanium dioxide granule of size approximately 200 nanometers, and this size provides good light scattering to have minimum photolytic activity.This titanium particle generally has inorganic coating from the teeth outwards to strengthen the dispersion of particle in spinning solution.Perhaps, titanium dioxide not being added in plasticizer traditionally, is not strengthen whiteness because it may limit filter-tip hardness.
Filter tip produced according to the invention may further include other characteristics that strengthens their degradeds, for example, by perpendicular to longitudinal axis slot, by being incorporated to short fiber, or in environment, tends to improve other shorter fibers of the speed of degraded.The further method that improves degradation rate can be included in plasticizer in conjunction with one or more polymer, water-soluble polymer for example, if yet this affect ability that plasticizer dissolves ester make optical active matter can be in plasticizing step process permeable fiber, this in fact may reduce degradation rate.However still available water-soluble polymer comprises a cellulose acetate of the DS/ADU with 0.6-0.9, and polyester, as methylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose, polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH).By following examples, further illustrate novel method provided by the invention and filter tip.
As mentioned above, the present invention is not limited to the cellulose esters that is fibers form for cigarette filter, but can also relate to other cellulose ester fiber, as being called as acetate yarn and for those of various textile applications (comprising clothing) in the industry.According to cellulose esters of the present invention, also can be the form of moulding article, or any other form known that is wherein desirably in the decomposition rate increasing in environment of cellulose esters.
