Abstract

Tobacco inside one container is irradiated by microwave and volatilized NOx and nitrosamine are blown out with N2 gas. The nitrosamine is absorbed by buffering solution comprising citric acid and sodium dihydrogen phosphate and the nitrosamine content is then detected by means of "the microanalysis process for the apparent total amount of N-nitroso compound" (Patent No.97107228.0). The unabsorbed NOx is absorbed and converted into colorating NO2 by using sulfanilamide-naphthylethylenediamide hydrochloride and the NOx content is then detected and calculated with a spectropotometer.

Description

The microwave spectrophotometric process of nitrosamine and amount of nitrogen oxides in the fast detecting tobacco
The present invention relates to microwave radiation and detect nitrosamine and oxides of nitrogen (NO in the tobacco in conjunction with improving spectrophotometric method x) method of content.
Contained nitrosamine causes people's great vigilance with its strong carcinogenicity in tobacco and the cigarette smoke.Nitrosamine is the extensive chemical carcinogenic substance, has about 90% to be proved to be and to have carcinogenesis surplus in the of 300 in kind of the nitrosamine compound: internal organs that animal is all and organize all can be by induced tumor, and main target organ is liver, oesophagus, lung, stomach and kidney; Can also carry out heredity by placenta, cause the offspring to distort.The Chinese adult male sex on average consumes 10 cigarette for each person every day, and the average annual aggregate consumption of cigarette has reached 18,000 hundred million, accounts for 1/3rd of global aggregate consumption.The crowd who is subjected to the cigarette smoke influence reaches several hundred million crowds in China.Slightly different with benzo (a) pyrene (promptly 3,4-benzopyrene) and bioxin, low therefore easier the evaporateing in the cigarette smoke of the boiling point of nitrosamine, contaminated environment also injures the healthy of people.Increasing expert thinks that the content of nitrosamines in the cigarette will be the 3rd parameter should indicating on cigarette case after T/N, and should reduce as much as possible.
In order to reduce the pollution of nitrosamine from the source, the timely content of nitrosamines of grasping in the raw tobacco in the time of just need and making cigarette the purchase tobacco.Usually detect the method for the content of nitrosamines in tobacco and the smoke of tobacco: (1) external main chromatogram-thermal energy analyzer (GC-TEA) method of using, but these methods all relate to expensive instrument and cross complicated operations programs such as post separates, and are difficult to apply in grass-roots unit; Moreover producer only need know roughly that the nitrosamine total amount in the tobacco gets final product, and does not need nitrosamine is separated accurate mensuration concentration separately one by one.(2) extract nitrosamine with chemical solution leaching tobacco, extraction then-concentrate and measure needs 2 day time at least.(3) the applicant is at patented claim (publication number: disclose the content of nitrosamines in a kind of improvement type spectrophotometry smoke of tobacco CN1193741A), but be mainly used in the mensuration of finished cigarettes.This just requires at first tobacco leaf to be made cigarette; Yet refire mensuration after making cigarette by the time, every cigarette burns in airflow and also needs about 20 minutes, not only consuming time taking a lot of work, and can't instruct production to reduce the content of nitrosamines in the product.Obviously, press for the method for measuring the content of nitrosamines in the raw tobacco fast and quickly and easily.Nitrite in the tobacco and nitrate at high temperature decompose the oxides of nitrogen (NO of generation x), can with nicotine or amine thermal synthesis nitrosamine once more, therefore be counted as the precursor compound that produces nitrosamine.In addition, the microwave radiation tobacco leaf also can make some nitrosamine decompose and generate NO xSo, the amount of nitrogen oxides (NO in the tobacco leaf x) and content of nitrosamines important relation is arranged.But, if, can't measure oxides of nitrogen (NO simultaneously with the nitrosamine in the solution leaching method mensuration tobacco x) content.Light a cigarette when collecting flue gas also because the interference of impurity such as tar is difficult to measure the content in the flue gas; Obviously, equally also press for new tool and measure oxides of nitrogen (NO in the raw tobacco fast and quickly and easily x) content.
The purpose of this invention is to provide nitrosamine and oxides of nitrogen (NO in a kind of simple and direct, fast measuring tobacco x) new method of content.
The aliphatics nitrosamine is strong polar organic matter, and the N-NO key is weaker than C-H, C-C, C-N key in the functional group, can be disconnected in 300 ℃ pyrolytic reaction and produces NO xFine jade Buddhist nun R William Si discloses dried after microwave radiation is used for tobacco and hemp results, has reduced the technology of its tobacco-specific nitrosamine content in its patented claim WO9805226 and WO9858555 and CN97198261, use the destruction at the sub-nitrosamine of tobacco leaf.But we find that the nitrosamine of significant proportion is volatilized under microwave radiation, and have set up method of the present invention based on this new discovery.
Therefore technical scheme of the present invention is as follows:
Nitrosamine and oxides of nitrogen (NO in a kind of fast detecting tobacco x) microwave-spectra photometric method of content, it is:
1. pipe tobacco or tobacco leaf are placed and carry out microwave radiation in the container;
2. use the carrier gas of inertia with decomposition product NO xGo out with the nitrosamine stripping that volatilizes;
3. the nitrosamine that blows out is absorbed with citric acid-sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer;
4. unabsorbed NO xUse CrO 3Oxidation tube is oxidized to NO 2
5.NO 2Absorb with quantitative sulfanilamide (SN), hydrochloride naphthodiamide solution, be converted into NO 2 -And colour developing;
6. measure its absorbance in wavelength 540nm place, calculate oxides of nitrogen (NO x) content Y 1
7. with the absorption liquid dichloromethane extraction of step 3;
8. the dichloromethane solution anhydrous Na after will extracting 2SO 4Dry;
With dried dichloromethane solution at N 2Gas shiled concentrates down;
10. the N-NO of HBr-HOAc solution of the dichloromethane solution after will concentrating with the N-nitroso compound
N-N bond cleavage in the functional group is separated;
11. will decompose the NO that produces with the carrier gas of inertia xStripping goes out;
12. the gas that stripping goes out purifies through alkaline Drexel bottle;
13. the NO after will purifying xUse CrO 3Oxidation tube is oxidized to NO 2
14.NO 2Absorb, be converted into NO with quantitative sulfanilamide (SN), hydrochloride naphthodiamide solution 2 -And colour developing;
15. measure its absorbance with wavelength 540nm place, calculate the content Y of nitrosamine 2
Microwave spectrophotometric process of the present invention, used microwave can be that frequency is the microwave of 2450MHz or 915MHz, the power of microwave radiation is 500-2000W, preferred power is 800-1000W, radiated time is 30-400 second, and preferred radiated time is 60-220 second, and the carrier gas of inertia can be high-purity nitrogen, helium or argon gas, the flow velocity of carrier gas is 10-500mL/min, and preferred speed is to be 100-140mL/min.Used nitrosamine absorption liquid is that PH is citric acid-sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer of 4.5, used CrCO 3Oxidation tube is filling CrO 3 -The oxidation tube of sea sand.
Measure these nitrosamine and oxides of nitrogen NO by method of the present invention x, just can understand the content of nitrosamines in the raw tobacco roughly.The advantage of the inventive method is: contain volatility, the non-volatile and distinctive nitrosamine of tobacco in (1) tobacco and the smoke of tobacco, the main harm environment be that those can evaporate into the nitrosamine in the flue gas, exactly also be those nitrosamine that can volatilize and microwave method detects.(2) Nitrates in the tobacco can decompose generation oxides of nitrogen (NO when cigarette burning x), go out some nitrosamine with nicotine and amine thermal synthesis.With the nitrosamine in the solution leaching tobacco, can't reflect that owing to carry out at normal temperatures this high temperature changes.Microwave radiation meeting spot heating pipe tobacco is so the content in data that obtain and the cigarette gas is comparatively approaching.(3) microwave method can detect pipe tobacco, tobacco leaf, is not subjected to the restriction of sample shape, does not also require to be rolled into cigarette.Compare with the collection flue gas determination method that lights a cigarette, microwave method is consuming time shorter, only needs just nitrosamine to be collected in the solution about 3 minutes, for mensuration.(4) with the raw material tobacco directly through microwave treatment, required small investment, technology are simple and be suitable for applying in grass-roots unit.
