Abstract

A granular deodorizing composition which can be used in ashtrays is made up of a mixture of a particulate mineral silicate (e.g. sepiolite, vermiculite & perlite), a particulate mineral carbonate (especially a carbonate of an alkali or alkaline earth metal) and an absorbed essential oil or perfume.

Description

DEODORIZING COMPOSITION The present invention relates to a granular deodorizing composition which can be used in ashtrays for reducing the odour of smoke emanating from cigarettes or cigars.
Solid deodorizing compositions for use in the house have been known and used for a long time. They are composed of essential oils absorbed onto solids such as carbon, talc and magnesium carbonate.
British Patent 2024014 describes the use of an inert (to heat) silicious material 90-45% by weight and a mixture of metallic oxides 5-10% by weight with an absorbed oily essence to give a powdered or granular flowing composition which can be used in an ashtray. The composition has particles of between 25 and 60 mesh.
As a fixation agent the composition may include 1:2 propylene-glycol or a silicone oil. This patent teaches that a) the product must have a small particle size to enable the product to flow; b) the product must be incombustible at the temperature of a glowing cigarette; c) the product must have good absorptive power for the deodorizing substance; and d) the product should gradually emanate the deodorizing substance into the surrounding environment without being influenced by the locally high temperature.
However, contrary to the teaching of this patent, a flowing product with the small particle size as defined has disadvantages. Thus, when fine particles of the product are in an ashtray the glowing end of a cigarette will pick up the product. The cigarette is therefore contaminated. The deodorizing compound is heated and released into the smoke from the cigarette giving a taint to the taste.
Moreover, in an open ashtray used in the house fine particle products are very easily displaced from the bottom of the tray e.g. by draughts of air.
Also, contrary to the teaching in the patent, emanation of the deodorant under normal temperature conditions can be disadvantageous in that it leads to products with a very short useful life.
As specifically described in GB 2024014, a relatively large amount of essential oil is used (10 to 40%) and this can be very expensive.
One object of the present invention is to provide a granular deodorizing composition which can be used in an ashtray and which can be formed with relatively large particles, desirably with a relatively high density, so that adherence to cigarettes and ready displacement from the ashtray can be prevented or minimised.
A further object is to provide such a composition which can give an effective deodorizing action without requiring relatively large quantities of expensive essential oils.
According to the invention therefore, a granular deodorizing composition comprises a mixture of at least one particulate mineral silicate with at least one particulate mineral carbonate and at least one absorbed essential oil or perfume.
Surprisingly it has been found that effective deodorizing compositions can be achieved economically and effectively by the use of a mineral silicate such as Sepiolite, Vermiculite or Perlite or any mixture thereof combined with quantities of carbonaceous/carbonate minerals such as magnesium carbonate , calcium carbonate, other carbonates of alkali and alkaline earth metals and mixtures thereof. The silicate minerals are very efficient in the absorption of oily essentail oils and are capable of releasing the odoriferous material at ambient temperatures very slowly.
Application of heat from a glowing cigarette rapidly increases the release of the odour. Inclusion of carbonate minerals can increase the density of the product thus preventing the product from being easily swept from its location. The presence of a carbonate mineral may also be of advantage in helping extinguish cigarette ends left unstubbed in ashtrays.
The employment of these silicate minerals and carbonate minerals specifically (either due to the silicate alone or due to the admixture): permits the use of a larger particle size of 0.5 to 10 mm preferably 0.5 to 5 mm diameter so that the product will not stick to the glowing ends of cigarettes causing contamination; enables effective products with only up to 10 parts by weight, preferably 5 - 10 parts, of absorbed essential oil to be produced; enables large granular dense products to be produced which do not flow and are not easily removed from the ashtray by draughts or wind movements; enables the composition to be effectively coloured with either dyestuffs or pigments to give good decorative effects;; due to the strong absorptive power of the silicate minerals, holds the majority of the essential oil or perfume so that only a very small amount is released to the atmosphere at room temperature until contact is made with the glowing end of a cigarette whereby the temperature is elevated and a large release can be made; due to inclusion of carbonate minerals, permits increase in the density of the product and also can improve the safety in that lighted cigarettes in contact with the mineral may release CO2 which will help to extinguish them.
Typical mixtures of use range between 80:20 mineral silicate:carbonate and 20:80 mineral silicate to carbonate. In a preferred embodiment the composition may contain 20 to 70 parts by weight of said particulate mineral silicate, and may contain 20 to 70 parts by weight of said particulate mineral carbonate, and may contain up to 10 parts by weight of said essential oil or perfume. A particularly preferred embodiment comprises 70 parts by weight of said particulate mineral silicate, 22 parts by weight of said particulate mineral carbonate and 8 parts by weight of said essential oil or perfume.The product of the invention can be non-toxic to animals and humans and can be made unattractive in taste to children by addition of a suitable substance ( Rtt) known for this purpose such as BITREXIRTn) The invention will now be described further in the following examples.
EXAMPLE 1 20 parts of the material calcite and 70 parts of the material Sepiolite each with a particle size 1.0 - 5.0 mm are rotated in a stainless steel drum at ambient temperature. 10 parts of an essential oil mixture (spiced apple) are slowly added as a fine spray over the granular powder. After all the oil is added the mixture is allowed to mix for a further 30 minutes until a, 'dry' granular composition is obtained.
The product is an off white granular material which can be readily packaged into drums or plastic bags.
EXAMPLE 2 70 parts of the material Vermiculite and 20 parts of the material dolomite with particle size 0.5 - 5.0 mm are rotated in a stainless steel drum at ambient temperature. 75 parts of an essential oil (spiced apple) mixture are sprayed onto the solid slowly. After all the oil has been added the mixture is allowed to tumble for at least 30 minutes until a dry granular composition is obtained.
The product is a brownish flaky granular mixture which can be readily packaged into drums or other containers.
EXAMPLE 3 70 parts of Sepiolite and 20 parts of dolomite with particle sizes ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 mm are tumbled in a rotating steel drum and very slowly 0.25 parts of a fine aqueous dispersion of a light stable red pigment is added as a fine spray. This gives 90 parts of a red coloured granular solid.
The process is repeated with suitable amounts of green, brown and yellow coloured light stable pigments to give 90 parts each of green, brown and yellow granulated solids.
By mixing the granualted coloured solids in the ratio of 1 part brown :1 part red :1 part yellow :1 part green an attractive pot pourri effect is obtained. Other colours can obviously be included. Dyestuffs in solution form may also be used to colour the granular solid either from aqueous or non-aqueous solutions.
The ratios of coloured materials can be readily altered to give other visually attractive compositions.
90 parts of the coloured mixture is further mixed and tumbled and 10 parts of a floral perfume essential oil is slowly added. Mixing is continued for 30 minutes after completion of addition so that a 'dry' composition is obtained.
The product is a visually attractive pot pourri mixture which can be readily packaged.
EXAMPLE 4 50 parts of Sepiolite, 20 parts of perlite and 20 parts of dolomite are tumbled slowly in a steel drum. To this mixture a small amount of aqueous green pigment dispersion (0.25 parts) is added as a fine spray to evenly coat the granular particles.
95 parts of this green product are then replaced into the drum and 5 parts of an essential oil mixture (SLEEP) are slowly added as a spray. Mixing is continued for 30 minutes after addition to ensure a full absorption of the oil onto the granules.
The product is an attractive pale green solid which can be easily packaged.
EXAMPLE 5 40 parts of Sepiolite, 30 parts perlite, 20 parts calcite are tumbled in a steel drum and 0.25 parts of a fine aqueous dispersion of a blue light stable pigment are added together with 0.5 parts of an aqueous solution of BITREX to give 90 parts of a pale blue coloured granular product. BITREX is added to make the visually attractive granular composition unattractive to taste and thus safe for children in the home.
90 parts of the above composition are tumbled in a steel drum and 10 parts of an essential oil mixture are added slowly in the form of a very fine spray. When addition is completed mixing is continued for a further 30 minutes to ensure a 'dry' granular product.
The product is a pale blue granular product which is readily packaged.
The following are explanations of the materials used in the above Examples.
1. Calcite is limestone - calcium carbonate.
2. Dolomite is a mixed magnesium calcium carbonate.
3. Sepiolite is essentially magnesium silicate.
It has a unique lath structure with large number of pores and channels and a specific surface area of 330 sq.m/gm.
It is non-flammable, non-toxic and has a specific weight 2.0 2.1 gm/c.
Analysis SiO2 60.8% MgO 20.4% A12O3 4.6% Fe203 1.2% Water 10.2% Na2O 0.4% K20 1.1% CaO 1.28 4. Vermiculite SiO2 39.57% A1203 12.08% Foe 0 5.45% Water 6.6% MgO 23.3% CaO 1. 46% TiO2 1.25% K2O/ Na2O 3.26% This is in the form of sheets with a glossy shiny surface. It has a unique plate structure. It is non-flammable and non-toxic.
5. Perlite 72.9% SiO2 12.3% A1203 6.7% Fe2O3 0.7% Ca/MgO 6. Perfumes - They are composed of mixtures of essential oils specially selected by the perfume supplier to have ingredients that will have the correct 'notes' to deodorize tabacco smoke. Blends can contain as many as 20 - 30 components.
Not all perfumes used are exclusively essential oils some solvents and diluents may be used to obtain a suitable liquid material.
It is of course to be understood that the invention is not intended to be restricted to the above Examples.
In use, tars from stubbed cigarettes, and possibly also moisture, will be absorbed by the granules and this can have the effect of displacing the absorbed perfume oil to the surface of the granules where it is more readily volatilised.
