DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The porous mass described below can be used with a smoking device, such as a tobacco smoking device. The porous mass includes active particles and non-fibrous binder particles and may form part of a filter section of a smoking device. Term

- 10,027,288 a porous mass as used herein refers to a mass comprising active particles and non-fibrous binder particles, which forms a structure bound by binder particles, and which includes empty spaces by which smoke can move through the porous mass and interact with active particles. In some embodiments of the invention, the structure can be formed by applying heat so that the binder particles soften to bond with the active particles at various contact points. Although reference is made to tobacco in the proposed application, it should be understood that the porous mass described therein is also suitable for use with other substances that produce smoke when burned or heated (i.e., smoking substances).

It should be noted that, when approximately stated below with reference to a number, the term approximately changes each number in the numerical list. It should be noted that in some numerical range lists some of the indicated lower limits may be greater than some of the indicated upper limits. The person skilled in the art will agree that the selected subset will require the selection of an upper limit that exceeds the selected lower limit.

With reference to FIG. 1 to 4 are several embodiments of the invention of a smoking device (which are representative but not limiting of the smoking devices proposed hereinafter.

The term smoking device when used in the proposed application most often refers to a cigarette, but is not limited to the one mentioned, and can be used with other smoking devices, such as cigarette holders, cigars, cigarette holders, smoking pipes, hookahs, nargile, electronic smoking devices cigarettes or self-rolled cigarettes, etc. Further, the link will refer to the cigarette as a general term (unless otherwise specified).

In some embodiments of the invention, the smoking device may include a sleeve capable of holding the smoking substance in interphase contact with the filter. Suitable sleeves may include, but are not limited to, a cigarette, a cigarette holder, a cigar, a cigar mouthpiece, a smoking pipe, a hookah, a nargile, an electronic smoking device, a self-rolled cigarette, a self-rolled cigarette and paper.

In FIG. 1, cigarette 10 includes a column of tobacco 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 include traditional filter material (described in more detail below) and the second section 18 includes a porous mass (described in more detail below).

When used in the proposed application, the term tobacco column refers to a mixture of tobacco and, optionally, to other ingredients and flavors that may be combined to make a tobacco-based smoking article, such as a cigarette or cigar. In some embodiments, a column of tobacco may include ingredients 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, bean gums carob, carob bean extracts and any combination thereof. In other embodiments, the tobacco column may also include flavors, menthol, licorice root extract, diammonium phosphate, ammonium hydroxide, and any combination thereof. Examples of suitable types of tobacco that can be used in tobacco columns may include, but are not limited to, light-leaf tobacco, Burley tobacco, Oriental tobacco (also known as Turkish tobacco), Cavendish tiled tobacco, Korhocho tobacco, criollo tobacco, black tobacco from Louisiana, tobacco grown in the shade, tobacco White Burley and any combination thereof. Tobacco can be grown in the United States or can be grown outside of the United States.

In FIG. 2, cigarette 20 contains a column of tobacco 12 and a filter 22. Filter 22 is a multi-segment with three sections. In this embodiment, typical filter materials 24 (or other alternative filter sections) may abut laterally to the porous mass 26.

In FIG. 3, the cigarette 30 contains a column of tobacco 12 and a filter 32. The filter 32 is a multi-segment with four sections. In this embodiment, the end section 34 is a conventional material, but sections 36, 37, and 38 may be any combination of other filter materials and porous mass (provided that at least one of these sections is the porous mass of the present invention )

The above embodiments of the invention are typical and non-limiting. The inventive filters can have any number of sections, for example 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or more sections, and sections can be located in any suitable configuration. Preferably, at least one of the filter sections includes a porous mass of the invention. In addition, the sections may be the same or different from each other.

Examples of sections that can be included with the porous masses of the present invention for forming filters may include, but are not limited to, sections that include at least one element selected from the following: cellulose acetate, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyolefin tow , tow of polypropylene fibers, polyethylene terephthalate, acetate with arbitrary orientation, varieties of paper, varieties of corrugated paper, concentric filters (for example, a peripheral filter made of fiber tow and core of tape material), carbon on fiber tow (sometimes referred to as the Dalmatian filter), silica, magnesium silicate, zeolites, molecular sieves, metallocenes, salts, catalysts, sodium chloride, nylon, flavors, tobacco, capsules, cellulose, cellulose derivatives, catalytic converters, iodic anhydride, coarse powders, carbon particles, carbon fibers, fibers, glass beads, nanoparticles, hollow chambers (for example, formed by rigid elements such as paper or eraser), hollow chambers with partitions, and any combination thereof. If zeolite is used, examples of corresponding zeolites include, but are not limited to, BETA, 8BA-15, MCM-41, MCM-48, modified with 3-aminopropylsilyl groups, and any combination thereof. In some embodiments of the invention, the filter can be substantially degradable over time (for example, from about 2 to about 5 years), naturally or in the presence of a catalyst, which in some embodiments of the invention may be present in the filter section itself. Also included are bundles of fibers and varieties of paper with active materials (glued to it or impregnating it or included in it in a different form). Such active materials include activated carbon (or charcoal), ion exchange resins, zeolites, desiccants, catalysts or other materials adapted for exposure to tobacco smoke. Hollow chambers, if used, may be filled (or partially filled) with active ingredients or materials including active ingredients. Such active ingredients include activated carbon (or charcoal), ion exchange resins, desiccants, or other materials adapted to treat tobacco smoke. Additionally, the section may be a porous mass of binder particles (i.e., only binder particles without any active particles). For example, such a porous mass without active particles can be made with thermoplastic particles (such as polyolefin powders including the binder particles described below) that are bonded or pressed together into a porous cylindrical shape.

In another embodiment, the section may include a space that defines a cavity between two sections of the filter (one section including the porous mass of the invention). The cavity may, for example, be filled with granular charcoal or, as another example, flavoring. The cavity may contain a capsule, for example a polymer capsule, which itself contains a flavoring or catalyst. The cavity in some embodiments of the invention may also contain a molecular sieve that reacts with selected smoke constituents to remove or reduce the concentration of constituents without adversely affecting the desired smoke constituents. In an embodiment of the invention, the cavity may include tobacco as an additional flavor. It should be noted that if the cavity is not sufficiently filled with the selected substance, then in some embodiments of the invention, this may cause a lack of interaction between the components of the mainstream smoke and the substance in the cavity and in the other section (s) of the filter.

Flavors that may be suitable for use in the present invention include any flavor suitable for use in smoking devices, including flavors to impart a flavor and / or aroma to the smoke stream. Flavors may include, but are not limited to, organic material (or particles with natural flavors), carriers for natural flavors, carriers for artificial flavors, and any combination thereof. Organic materials (or particles with natural flavors) include, but are not limited to, tobacco, cloves (e.g., ground cloves and clove buds), cocoa, and the like. Natural and artificial flavors may include, but are not limited to, menthol, cloves, cherries, chocolate, orange, peppermint, mango, vanilla, cinnamon, tobacco, and the like. Such flavors can be provided by menthol, anethole (licorice), limonene (citrus), eugenol (cloves) and the like. In some embodiments of the invention, more than one flavor may be used, including any combination of flavorings provided in the present application. Such flavors may be placed in a column of tobacco or in a filter section. In addition, in some embodiments, the porous masses of the invention may include flavoring. The amount for inclusion will depend on the desired level of flavor in the smoke, taking into account all sections of the filter, the length of the smoking device, the type of smoking device, the diameter of the smoking device, as well as other factors known to those skilled in the art.

Sections that include a filter can be wrapped in paper to form filter mouthpieces. The term paper, when used in the proposed application, refers to any type of packaging paper that is used in the manufacture of smoking devices, including rim paper, wrapping paper that simulates the texture of cork, rim paper base, and the like. Suitable paper types for use in connection with the invention

- 12,027,288 include wood based paper types, flax paper types, linen paper types, functionalized paper types (e.g., those that are functionalized to reduce tar and / or carbon monoxide content) special types of marking paper, colored types paper and any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the types of paper may have high porosity, be corrugated, and / or have high surface strength. In some embodiments of the invention, the types of paper may include additives, adhesives, and / or include substances that provide printing properties. In some embodiments, filter mouthpieces that include the porous mass of the invention may have lengths in the range of about 80 to about 150 mm. In processing, the filter mouthpieces can then be divided into about 4 or about 6 separate segments of about 5 to about 35 mm long during the operation of attaching the rim of the smoking device. For double or triple filters, the filters can first be cut into segments and combined with paper and / or charcoal segments before attaching the rim. Filter mouthpieces can be attached to a column of tobacco using paper or another smoking device to make a complete smoking device. As an example, in traditional cigarette manufacturing, at least three types of paper are used: wrapping paper simulating cork texture, cigarette paper and rim paper. Wrapping paper simulating the texture of a cork refers to paper that is used to wrap a section of a cigarette filter in the manufacture of the filter and before attaching it to a column of tobacco. Cigarette paper refers to paper that is used to wrap a section of a column of tobacco in the manufacture of such a column of tobacco and before attaching it to the filter section. Finally, rim paper refers to paper that is used to wrap the filter section and part of the tobacco column when the two sections are connected to form a cigarette. The joints of various types of paper used to form a cigarette are joined using at least one adhesive, more than one type of adhesive can be used to form a cigarette. As an example, when forming a typical cellulose acetate filter section, a polyvinyl alcohol adhesive can be used to attach the filter to the paper, and hot melt adhesive can be used on the edge of the paper to hold the filter wrapped. Cigarette paper may also use starch paste to join the edges of the paper. Finally, the rim paper can be applied more fully, that is, applied over most of the surface, and not just in the area of contact with hot-melt adhesive, to ensure the safety of the corresponding connection between the filter section and the tobacco section. Some cigarette products have air vents through the rim paper or through both the rim paper and wrapping paper that simulates the texture of the cork to allow air to flow through the smoke stream.

In some embodiments, the filters may have a diameter in the range of from about 5 to about 10 mm and a length of from about 5 to about 35 mm. In some embodiments of the invention, for example for ultra-thin or super-thin cigarettes, filters may have a diameter in the range of less than 5 mm, for example 3 mm or less, including, but not limited to, a lower diameter limit of 0.5 mm. In embodiments of the invention for cigars, filters may have a diameter greater than 20 mm, for example about 30 mm, as desired. By analogy, the filter size for other smoking devices may vary based on the intended use and consumer demand (for example, in a pipe).

In FIG. 4, the smoking pipe 40 includes a bowl with a tobacco chamber 42, a mouthpiece with a mouthpiece 44 and a channel 46 connecting the bowl with a tobacco chamber 42, and a mouthpiece with a mouthpiece 44. Channel 46 includes a cavity 47. The cavity 47 is adapted to accommodate the filter 48. The filter 48 may be multi-segment filter, discussed above, or may consist solely of a porous mass. The size of the filter may vary depending on the size of the cavity 47. In some embodiments, the filter 48 may be removable, replaceable, disposable, reusable, and / or destructible.

In the above embodiments, exemplary materials and porous masses are combined. The term connected when used in the proposed application means that the porous mass is linearly (or sequentially) adjacent to the column of tobacco or another section of the filter so that when a cigarette is smoked, smoke from the column of tobacco must pass through (for example, sequentially) the porous mass, so that reach your target recipient (e.g. smoker). As noted above, the porous mass can be connected to the column of tobacco using technical means for paper packaging, for example, using paper and / or adhesive. Additionally, in some embodiments of the invention, the porous mass may be connected to the column of tobacco using an adhesive that is preferably free of constituents which, upon combustion, could interfere with the purposes of the invention.

As shown in FIG. 1-3, in some embodiments, a filter section including a porous mass and at least one other filter section may be coaxial, adjacent, butted, and have equivalent cross-sectional areas (or

- 13 027288 almost equivalent cross-sectional area). However, it is understood that there is no need to connect the porous mass and typical materials in this way, and that there may be other possible configurations. Furthermore, although it is anticipated that the porous mass will most often be used in combined or multi-segment configurations of a cigarette filter, as shown in FIG. 1-3, the invention is not limited to this circumstance, and the smoking device may include only the porous mass of the invention, as described above with respect to FIG. 4. Also, although in some embodiments, the porous mass will be placed next to the tobacco column, as shown in FIG. 1, the present disclosure does not have such a limitation. For example, the porous mass of the invention can be separated from tobacco by a hollow cavity (for example, a pipe or duct, such as in a pipe or hookah, or as a mouthpiece for a cigarette or cigar), for example, see FIG. 4. In other embodiments of the invention, the porous mass of the invention can be separated from the column of tobacco using a bendable element that allows the consumer to shape the smoking device.

In some embodiments, the porous masses of the invention comprise active particles that are at least partially bonded together with binder particles. For example, see FIG. 5 is a microphotograph of an embodiment of the invention of a porous mass, where active particles (for example, activated carbon particles) 50 and binder particles 52. Reference numeral 54 shows an example of a point of contact. Note: in this embodiment of the invention (Fig. 5), the binder particles and active particles are joined at the points of contact, the contact points being randomly distributed throughout the porous mass, and the binder particles retain their original physical form (or practically retain their original physical form , for example, not more than 10% of the change (for example, shrinkage) in the form relative to the original). (Active particles and binder particles are discussed in more detail below). Although not taking into account any theoretical limitations, it is assumed that contact points are formed when the binder particles are heated to their softening point, which is insufficient, however, to achieve actual melting. In some embodiments, it is assumed that the porous masses of the invention are designed to exhibit a minimum pressure drop in the capsule (as defined below) while maximizing the surface area of the active particles.

In a porous mass, any mass ratio of active particles to binder particles is possible. In some embodiments, the ratio may be from about 1 to about 99% by weight of the active particles and from about 99 to about 1% by weight of the binder particles. In some embodiments, this ratio can produce from about 25 to about 99% by weight of active particles and from about 1 to about 75% by weight of binder particles. In some embodiments, this ratio can produce from about 40 to about 99% by weight of active particles and from about 1 to about 60% by weight of binder particles. In one embodiment of the porous mass, the active particles comprise from about 50 to about 99 wt.%, While the particles of a binder comprise from about 1 to about 50 wt.%. In another embodiment, the active particles comprise from about 60 to about 95 wt.%, While the particles of a binder comprise from about 5 to about 40 wt.%. In addition, in another embodiment, the active particles comprise from about 75 to about 90 wt.%, While the particles of a binder comprise from about 10 to about 25 wt.%.

In one embodiment of the invention, the porous mass the porous mass has a porosity coefficient in the range of from about 40 to about 90%. In another embodiment, it has a porosity ratio of from about 60 to about 90%. In yet another embodiment, it has a porosity ratio of from about 60 to about 85%. The porosity coefficient is the free space remaining after accounting for the space occupied by active particles.

To determine the porosity coefficient, without taking into account the limitations due to any specific theory, it is assumed that tests indicate that the final density of the mixture is almost completely determined by the active particle; therefore, the space occupied by the binder particles was not taken into account in this calculation. Thus, the porosity coefficient in this context is calculated based on the space remaining after calculation for active particles. To determine the porosity coefficient, first the upper and lower diameters were averaged based on the size in accordance with the sieve number for active particles, and then the volume was calculated (with the assumption of a spherical shape based on such an average diameter) using the density of the active material. Then, the percentage porosity is calculated as follows:

(volume of porous mass, cm ³ ) - (weight of active particles, g) _χ ,,,, density of active particles, g / cm ³

Porosity coefficient {%) = 1 ----: volume of porous mass, sy

- 14 027288

In one embodiment, the porous mass has a capsule pressure drop (MPC) in the range of about 0.10 to about 25 mm water column or less per 1 mm of the length of the porous mass. When used in the proposed application, the term pressure drop in the capsule refers to the static pressure difference between the two ends of the sample, when it is crossed by an air stream under steady conditions, when the volumetric flow rate is 17.5 ml / s at the output end, when the sample is completely sealed in the measuring device so that air cannot penetrate the packaging. The MPC was measured in accordance with the recommended SOKET8TL (Center for Cooperation on Research in the Field of Tobacco) method No. 41 in June 2007. In another embodiment of the invention, the porous mass of the invention may have a MPC in the range of from about 0.10 to about 10 mm of water or less per 1 mm of the length of the porous mass. In other embodiments, the porous mass of the invention may have a MAC of about 2 to about 7 mm water column or less per 1 mm length of the porous mass (or not more than 7 mm water column or less per 1 mm of the length of the porous mass). To achieve the required MPC, active particles must have a larger particle size than particles of a binder. In one embodiment, the ratio of the particle size of the binder to the size of the active particle is in the range from about 1: 1.5 to about 1: 4.

In some embodiments, the porous mass of the invention may have an active particle filling of at least about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 mg / mm in combination with a MPC less than about 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 mm of water or less per 1 mm of porous mass. For example, in some embodiments of the invention, the porous mass may have an active particle filling of at least about 1 mg / mm and a MPC of about 20 mm water column or less per 1 mm of porous mass. In other embodiments, the porous mass can be filled with an active particle of at least about 1 mg / mm and a MPC of about 20 mm water column or less per 1 mm of porous mass, where the active particle is not carbon. In other embodiments, the porous mass may contain an active particle comprising carbon with a content of at least 6 mg / mm in combination with a MAC of 10 mm water column or less per 1 mm of porous mass.

Depending on how the porous mass is made, the porous mass can have any desired length. In the batch molding process, for example, the length will probably correspond to the size of the mold (s) used.

Additionally, in a continuous production process, the porous mass may be one long continuous cylinder of any desired length. In any case, the porous mass can be further cut into the required smaller segments or sections. The required length may depend on the particular application in which the porous mass can be used. In one embodiment, the porous mass may have a length of from about 1 to about 35 mm. In another embodiment, the porous mass may have a length of from about 2 to about 30 mm. In yet another porous mass, the length may be from about 7 to about 20 mm.

The porous mass can have any physical form. The porous mass may have a spiral shape, a triangular shape, a disk shape, or a square shape in some embodiments of the invention. In one embodiment, it is in the form of a cylinder. A hybrid form of such forms may also be acceptable. In some embodiments, the porous mass may be processed to become lighter in weight if required, for example, by drilling a portion of the porous mass. In one embodiment of the invention, the porous mass may have a specific shape for a cigarette holder or smoking pipe, which is adapted to be placed inside a cigarette holder or smoking pipe to allow smoke to pass through the filter to a consumer. When considering in the proposed application the shape of the porous mass in relation to the filter of a typical smoking device, the shape can be presented in terms of the diameter or circumference (where the circumference is the circumference of the circle) of the cylinder cross section. However, in embodiments of the invention where the porous mass of the invention is in a form different from the regular cylinder, it should be understood that the term perimeter is used to mean a perimeter of a cross section of any shape, including a circular cross section.

Active particles can be any material adapted to improve smoke passing through it smoke. Adapted to improve smoke passing through it refers to any material that can remove, reduce, or add constituents of the smoke stream. Deletion or reduction (or addition) may be selective. For example, in a stream of smoke from a cigarette, components such as those shown below in the list below can be selectively removed or reduced.

One example of an active material is activated carbon (or activated charcoal or activated carbon). Activated carbon can be with low activity (adsorption of CC1 ₄ is from about 50 to about 75%) or with high activity (adsorption of CC1 ₄ is from about 75 to about 95%) or with a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the active carbon may be a nanosized carbon particle, such as carbon nanotubes with any number of walls, horn-shaped carbon nano-protrusions, bamboo carbon nanostructures, fullerenes and fullerene aggregates, and graphene, including low-layer graphene and oxidized graphene. Other examples of such materials include ion exchange resins, desiccants, silicates, molecular sieves, metallocenes, silicic acid gels, metallocene, activated aluminum, zeolites, perlite, sepiolite, fuller’s earth, magnesium silicate, metal oxides (for example, iron oxide and iron oxide nanoparticles such as Fe ₃ O ₄ with a size of about 12 nm), nanoparticles (e.g., metal nanoparticles, such as gold and silver, metal oxide nanoparticles, such as aluminum, paramagnetic and superparamagnetic magnetic nanoparticles, such as vivo Recording gadolinium different crystalline structures of iron oxide such as hematite and magnetite, nanotubes with interstitial atoms gadolinium and endofullerene such as Oh @ C _60; and the nanoparticle core-shell and bulbous nanoparticles, such as nanoshells gold and silver, bulbous nanoparticles iron oxide, and other nanoparticles or microparticles with an outer shell of any of the materials mentioned) and any combination of the above (including activated carbon). It should be noted that nanoparticles include nanorods, nanospheres, nanoris varieties, nanowires, nanostars (such as nanotransistors and nanotetrapods), hollow nanostructures, hybrid nanostructures, which are two or more nanoparticles connected as one, and nanoparticles with nanocoatings or walls, having thicknesses in the nanometer range. It should also be noted that nanoparticles include functionalized derivatives of nanoparticles, including, but not limited to, nanoparticles that have been functionalized covalently or non-covalently, for example, due to pi packing, physical adsorption, ionic association, van der Waals bond, and the like. Suitable functional groups may include, but are not limited to, substances including amines (1 °, 2 ° or 3 °), amides, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, ketones, esters, esters, peroxides, silyls, organosilanes, hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons and any combination of them; polymers; chelating agents such as ethylene diamine tetraacetate, diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid, triglycolamic acid, and a structure comprising a pyrrole ring; and any combination thereof. Functional groups can improve the removal of smoke constituents and / or improve the incorporation of nanoparticles into the porous mass. Ion exchange resins include, for example, a backbone polymer such as styrene divinylbenzene copolymer (SDB), acrylates, methacrylates, phenol-formaldehyde condensates, and epichlorohydrin-amine condensates; and a plurality of electrically charged functional groups attached to the polymer backbone. In some embodiments, the active particles are a combination of various active particles. In some embodiments of the invention, the porous mass may include several active particles. In some embodiments, the active particle may include at least one element selected from the group of active particles disclosed in the present application. It should be noted that the element is used as a general term to describe positions in the list. In some embodiments, the active particles are combined with at least one flavor.

In some embodiments, a mixture of active particles can be used to remove many harmful substances from the smoke stream. For example, although activated charcoal has proven successful in extracting substances such as formaldehyde and acetone from cigarette smoke, it is ineffective in extracting carbon monoxide. However, carbon monoxide can be removed from the gas stream by exposure to iodic anhydride, a molecular sieve (such as a metallocene), a molecular oxide, a metal catalyst (such as palladium), and the like.

In one embodiment, the active particles have particle sizes ranging from particles having at least one size equal to about less than one nanometer, such as graphene, to large particles such as a particle having a diameter of about 5000 microns. Active particles may have a size in the range from the lower limit of the size in at least one dimension equal to approximately 0.1, 0.5, 1, 10, 100, 500 nm, 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 microns. Active particles may have a size in the range from the upper limit of size in at least one dimension equal to approximately: 5000, 2000, 1000, 900, 700, 500, 400, 300, 250, 200, 150, 100, 50, 10 μm and 500 nm. Any combination of the above lower limits and upper limits may be applicable for use in the present invention, where the selected maximum size is larger than the selected minimum size. In some embodiments, active particles may be a mixture of particles with sizes within the lower and upper limits above.

The binder particles may be any suitable thermoplastic binder particles. In one embodiment, the binder particles exhibit a substantially non-fluid state at their melting point. This implies a material which, when heated to its melting point, exhibits little or no polymer fluidity. Materials meeting this criterion include, but are not limited to, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, very high molecular weight polyethylene, high molecular weight polyethylene, and combinations thereof. In one embodiment, the binder particles have a melt flow index (ME1, A8TM Ό1238) of less than or equal to about 3.5 g / 10 min, at a temperature of 190 ° C. and a force of 15 kg (or about 0-3.5 g / 10 min at a temperature of 190 ° C and a force of 15 kg). In another embodiment, the binder particles have a melt flow index (MFI) of less than or equal to about 2.0 g / 10 min, at a temperature of 190 ° C. and a force of 15 kg (or about 0-2.0 g / 10 min at a temperature of 190 ° C and a force of 15 kg). One example of such a material is ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene, PEUVMV (INM ^ PE) (which has no polymer fluidity, MFI is approximately 0 at 190 ° C and a force of 15 kg, or MFI is approximately 0-1.0 at temperature 190 ° С and effort equal to 15 kg); another such material may be polyethylene with a very high molecular weight PEOWMB (UNMHURE) (which may have an MFI in the range of, for example, about 1.0-2.0 g / 10 min at a temperature of 190 ° C. and a force of 15 kg); or polyethylene with a high molecular weight PEVMV (NM ^ PE) (which may have MFI in the range of, for example, approximately 2.0-3.5 g / 10 min at a temperature of 190 ° C and a force of 15 kg). In some embodiments, it may be preferable to use a mixture of binder particles having different molecular weights and / or different melt flow indices.

In terms of molecular weight, ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene as used in the present application refers to polyethylene compositions with a weight average molecular weight of at least about 3x10 ⁶ g / mol. In some embodiments, the molecular weight of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene composition is between about 3x10 ⁶ g / mol and about 30x10 ⁶ g / mol, or between about 3x10 ⁶ g / mol and about 20x10 ⁶ g / mol, or between about 3x10 ⁶ g / mol and about 10x10 ⁶ g / mol, or between about 3x10 ⁶ g / mol and about 6x10 ⁶ g / mol. Very high molecular weight polyethylene when used in the proposed application relates to polyethylene compositions with a weight average molecular weight of at least about 3 x 10 ⁶ g / mol and greater than about 1 x 10 ⁶ g / mol. In some embodiments, the molecular weight of the very high molecular weight polyethylene composition is between about 2x10 ⁶ and less than about 3x10 ⁶ g / mol. High molecular weight polyethylene when used in the proposed application relates to compositions of polyethylene with an average molecular weight of at least about 3x10 ⁵ to 1x10 ⁶ g / mol. For the purposes of the presented description of the invention, the molecular weights referred to in this application are defined in accordance with the Margolis equation (Margolis molecular weight).

TX, and Ό8Μ (Holland), Vgakst (Brazil), Vsutd Ras1ogu No. 2 (WALE), Zkaidkag Skstgsa1, and Οίΐιι (People's Republic of China), Michi and Akai (Japan).

The porous mass is effective in removing constituents from smoke, for example, those listed in the above list. The porous mass can be used to reduce the delivery of certain constituents of tobacco smoke marked by WHO. For example, a porous mass where activated carbon is used as active particles can be used to reduce the delivery of certain constituents of tobacco smoke to levels below WHO recommendations. (See below table. 13). In one embodiment, the porous mass using activated carbon has lengths ranging from about 4 to about 11 mm. Components include acetaldehyde, acrolein, benzene, benzo [a] pyrene, 1,3-butadiene and formaldehyde. The activated carbon porous mass can reduce acetaldehydes in the smoke stream from about 3.0 to about 6.5% / mm of the length of the porous mass; acrolein in a stream of smoke - from about 7.5 to about 12% / mm of the length of the porous mass; benzene in a stream of smoke - from about 5.5 to about 8.0% / mm of the length of the porous mass; benzo [a] pyrene in a stream of smoke - from about 9.0 to about 21.0% / mm of the length of the porous mass; 1,3-butadiene in the smoke stream is from about 1.5 to about 3.5% / mm of the length of the porous mass and formaldehyde in the stream of smoke is from about 9.0 to about 11.0% / mm of the length of the porous mass. In another example, a porous mass where an ion exchange resin is used as active particles can be used to reduce the delivery of certain constituents of tobacco smoke to levels below WHO recommendations. See below table. 14. In one embodiment, the porous mass using ion exchange resins has lengths in the range of about 7 to about 1 mm. Components include acetaldehyde, acrolein and formaldehyde. In some embodiments, the porous mass of the invention comprising an ion exchange resin can reduce acetaldehydes in the smoke stream from about 5.0 to about 7.0% / mm of the length of the porous mass; acrolein in the smoke stream is from about 4.0 to about 6.5% / mm of the length of the porous mass and formaldehyde in the smoke stream is from about 9.0 to about 11.0% / mm of the length of the porous mass.

The porous mass can be made by any suitable means. In some embodiments, this may be a batch process. In others, it can be an ongoing process.

In one embodiment of the invention of the applicable method, the active particles and binder particles are mixed together and the mixture is placed in a mold. The mold is heated to a temperature equal to or higher than the melting temperature of the binder particles, for example, in one embodiment of the invention from about 150 to 300 ° C and held at this temperature for a period of time sufficient to heat the mold and its contents to the desired temperature. Then the mass is removed from the mold and cooled to room temperature. Such methods can be applied in small batches or in large batches, which may be suitable for industrial production.

In some embodiments of the invention, a suitable sintering process may be a free sintering method since the binder particles do not have flowability (or have very low flowability) at a sintering temperature and no pressure applied to the blended materials in the mold. In this embodiment, point bonds are formed between the active particles and the binder particles. It is believed that this ensures the formation of excellent bonds and maximizes the voids between the particles while minimizing clogging of the surface of the active particles due to the freely flowing molten binder. Also see U.S. Patents 6,770,736, 7,049,382 and 7,160,453, incorporated herein by reference.

As an alternative, the porous mass of the present invention can be manufactured using a process involving sintering under pressure. When a mixture of active particles and binder particles is heated (or at a temperature that may be lower than or equal to the melting temperature of the binder particles), the mixture is pressurized to promote coalescence of the porous mass.

Also, in some embodiments of the invention, the porous mass can be made using an extrusion and sintering process, where the mixture is heated in an extruder barrel and pushed into the porous mass.

Any suitable method for forming a filter of a smoking device comprising a porous mass of the present invention can be used in combination with porous masses. For example, in one embodiment of the invention, a device for manufacturing a filter of a smoking device may be used, which comprises at least a plurality of zones including a container zone including at least a plurality of parts of a first filter section; an area of the second container, comprising at least a plurality of parts of the second filter section, the parts of the second filter section comprising a porous mass containing an active particle and a binder particle, the porous mass having an active particle filling of at least about 1 mg / mm , MPC of approximately 20 mm water column or less per 1 mm of porous mass; a connection zone where a part of a first filter section and a part of a second filter section are connected; a packaging zone, where part of the first filter section and part of the second filter section are wrapped with paper to form a filter of the smoking device; and a conveyor for moving the filter of the smoking device to the next area for storage or use. In some embodiments of the invention, a filter mouthpiece can be formed in this process that includes a collection of filters that, when cut, can be used to form several smoking devices (e.g., 4 cigarettes per filter mouthpiece).

In some embodiments of the invention, the filters of the smoking device can be directly moved to the production line, with which they can be connected to columns of tobacco to form smoking devices. An example of such a method includes a method for manufacturing a smoking device, comprising: providing a filter mouthpiece comprising at least one filter section including a porous mass that includes an active particle and a binder particle; provision of a column of tobacco; cutting the filter mouthpiece across its longitudinal axis through the center of the mouthpiece to form at least two filters containing at least one filter section, each filter section comprising a porous mass that includes an active particle and a binder particle; and attaching at least one of the filters to the column of tobacco along the longitudinal axis of the filter and the longitudinal axis of the column of tobacco to form at least one smoking device.

In a typical cigarette manufacture, machines that attach a filter section to a tobacco column, as well as machines that connect a multi-component filter section together, exhibit

- 21 027288 a tendency to compress sections of cigarettes as they move in the process of connection. In some embodiments, the porous mass of the invention may be incompressible or less compressible than a typical cellulose acetate filter section, which may lead to difficulties in some manufacturing processes. In embodiments of the invention 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 such cases, it may be desirable to wrap or pack the porous mass of the section into a material that is compressible. The wrapping or packaging material is placed along the longitudinal axis of the porous mass filter section, so that the wrapping or packaging material is between the porous mass and the wrapping paper imitating the texture of the cork. The wrapping or packaging material should be selected so that it provides the required compressibility while exhibiting a relatively high pressure drop, so that the smoke drawn through the section preferably passes through the porous mass rather than through the wrapping or packaging material, or the packaging material is larger than the differential pressure in the packaged porous mass. In some embodiments, the wrapping material may have a differential pressure in the capsule that is 1% higher than the differential pressure in the capsule of the porous mass, and in other embodiments, the difference may be: 5% higher, 10% higher, 25 % higher, 50% higher, 75% higher, 100% higher, 125% higher, 150% higher, 175% higher, 200% higher, 225% higher, 250% higher, 275 % higher or 300% higher. The person skilled in the art will agree that the difference in pressure drop in the capsule between the wrapping or packaging material and the porous mass can be even greater as long as this does not adversely affect the user and as long as the wrapping or packaging material continues provide the required compressibility. In some embodiments, the wrapping or packaging material may include cellulose acetate, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyolefin tow, polypropylene tow, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, random orientation, paper, corrugated paper, carbon on a fiber tow, silica, cellulose, magnesium silicate and any combination thereof. In other embodiments, the wrapping or packaging material is positioned along the longitudinal axis of the porous mass filter section so that the wrapping or packaging material is outside relative to the wrapping paper imitating the texture of the cork. The person skilled in the art will agree that the diameter of the porous mass should be selected so as to compensate for the increase in diameter when adding a layer of paper or wrapping or packaging materials. The final filter diameter should match the diameter of the tobacco column for the filter / tobacco column coupling step. In other embodiments, the wrapping or packaging material is positioned along the longitudinal axis of the porous mass filter section so that the wrapping or packaging material is in direct contact with the porous mass. This configuration may eliminate the use of paper in the sintering process. In other embodiments of the invention, filters of the smoking device may be placed in an appropriate storage container until subsequent use. Suitable storage containers include those commonly used in smoking filter technology, including, but not limited to, cell boxes, cylindrical boxes, bags, cartons, and the like. Storage and handling containers used with the porous mass filter sections of the present invention may require modifications to take into account the presence of the porous mass. By way of example, cylindrical or other shaped mouthpieces or cigarettes including porous filter sections of the invention may be heavier in weight or more brittle than the cellulose acetate filter section. Additionally, due to the active nature of the porous mass, it may be desirable to transport sections with a porous mass or cigarettes, including sections with a porous mass, so that the porous mass is not contaminated by the environment.

In some embodiments, a filter manufacturing method may include providing a mixture comprising active particles and binder particles; placing the mixture in a mold; heating the mixture in the form to a temperature equal to or higher than the melting temperature of the binder particles, so as to form a porous mass selected from at least one porous mass of the invention; extracting the porous mass from the mold and forming a filter including the porous mass.
