SK7202Y1 - Filtered cigarette - Google Patents

Abstract

It described filter cigarette for the effective elimination of the pollutant content of inhaled tobacco smoke from cigarettes, , pipes and so on. The total initial solution comprises a filter (1), the zeolite filter (2) and the tobacco filling (3). Hazardous gases produced by burning the tobacco filling (3) are admitted through the zeolite sorption zone - zeolite filter (2) to which the aromatic HC and NO. Due to the chemically modified natural zeolite - clinoptilolite in the filter (2) is catalytically converted into oxides of nitrogen. Subsequently, the flow proceeds via standard filter (1) by inhalation to the user's mouth.

Description

SK 7202 Υ1

Technical field

Cigarettes, sivars, pipes, etc. they are a source of harmful emissions, which contribute significantly to the harm to health and, in general, to air pollution. Their smoke contains a large number of inorganic and organic components. Among the inorganic constituents are, for example, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, nickel, arsenic, of the organic constituents the greatest health risk is represented by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which, for example, benzo (a) pyrene have carcinogenic properties. Manufacturers of these products address the reduction of some pollutants by incorporating a filter whose efficiency is minimal.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

For cigarettes, sivars, pipes, etc. the problem of reducing the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides is not solved at all or is insufficiently solved by the use of poorly effective and / or poorly effective. ineffective filter. Burning pollutants harm the health of the users of the above products who are unable to give up this habit.

The essence of the technical solution

The solution uses a combination of a classical filter (if provided by the manufacturer) and a newly filled filter (catalyst) with a sorption substance - natural zeolite - clinoptilolite, whose bearing is located in Slovakia near Nižný Hrabovec. The natural zeolite after chemical modification acquires catalytic properties and can therefore be used both as a sorbent and as a catalyst for the conversion of hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. The solution uses chemically modified zeolite with sorption properties as well as catalytic properties. According to the proposal, while using said products, tobacco smoke is first released through a new filter or filter. through a newly refilled layer of chemically modified zeolite to which pollutants are absorbed. It then flows through a conventional filter (if provided by the manufacturer) by inhalation into the user's mouth.

Advantages of this solution: Sorption of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as well as catalytic conversion of nitrogen oxides to nitrogen during use of harmful cigarettes, sivars, pipes, etc., which significantly eliminates the content of inhaled pollutants and consequently harming the health of users. In principle, the new zeolite filter does not affect the original product. It can be inserted between the tobacco layer and the original filter, it can replace part of the original filter or completely replace it. Or, if the original filter does not contain the product, it is inserted at the end through which the combustion product - smoke - is inhaled.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of a cigarette with a newly refilled filter for effectively eliminating inhaled pollutants in cigarette smoke. In addition to the cigarette, as mentioned above, this new filter can also be used in sivar, pipe, etc.

EXAMPLES

It is a filter cigarette consisting of an original filter 1, a tobacco filler 3 and a zeolite filter 2, wherein the filter 2 is a chemically modified zeolite having sorption and catalytic properties and is intended to reduce the hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide content of the inhaled gases. Cigarette with filter to reduce the content of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in the inhaled gases (smoke) from cigarettes, sivars, pipes and the like. is shown in Figure 1. The figure shows the original filter (if any) 1, the zeolite filter 2, and the tobacco filler 3.

The procedure is as follows: The harmful gases produced by the combustion of tobacco are passed through a newly refilled zeolite filter - through a sorption and catalytic zeolite zone to which polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides are absorbed, which are immediately converted to nitrogen. It then flows through a conventional filter (if provided by the manufacturer) by inhalation into the user's mouth.

Industrial usability

Zeolite filter for reducing the content of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in inhaled gases (smoke) from cigarettes, sivars, pipes and the like. it is useful in their production to eliminate harmful fumes and their impact

EN 7202 Υ1 per person. It also saves the environment by exhaling smoke, the harmfulness of which has been eliminated by a zeolite filter. At the same time it helps to use the domestic resources of zeolite.

PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS

Claims (1)

Filter cigarette, characterized in that it consists of a conventional filter (1), a tobacco filler (3) and a zeolite filter (2), the filter (2) being a chemically modified zeolite having sorption and catalytic properties and intended to reduce content of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in the inhaled 10 gases.
