담배용 필터에 사용되고 있는 재료는 아세테이트, 종이, 폴리프로펼렌, 부직포등이 주로 이용되고 있으 며 담배연기의 흡착능을 향상시키기 위한 방법으로 활성탄 제오라이트와 같은 흡착제를 담배필터에 첨가하여 사용하고 있다. 본 실험에서는 펼터에 가장 보편적으로 많이 사용하고 있는 활성탄을 종이 제조과정에 첨가하여 나타나는 물리적 특성을 관찰하였고 제조된 종이를 담배필터에 적용하기 위하여 현행 습식 크림핑(crimping)방법과는 달리 건식 크림핑(crimping)방법을 이용한 적합한 조건을 검토하 였으며 이에 따른 담배필터에서의 연기흡착능을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 시트의 물리적 특성과 담배 연기성분 홉착능을 예측하기 위하여 펄프의 불성과 uv 홉착능을 분 석한 결과 Sw-BKP가 Hw-BKP에 비하여 강도적 성질이 우수하였고 또한 메틸렌불루(methylene b blue) 흡착능도 높은 경 향을 나타내 었다. 2. 활성탄 함량의 증가에 따라 섬유간의 결합력이 약화됨에 따라서 시트의 인장강도 및 파열강도가 감 소하는 경향이 가장 크게 나타났으며 평량이 펼프 배합비보다 높은 인자로 작용하였다. 또한 인자 간의 교호작용에서는 평량과 활성탄 함량에 따라서 크게 나타났으며 평량, Sw-BKP의 함량이 증가할 수록 인장강도는 증가하였다. 3. Stiffness는 활성탄 함량 펄프 배합비 평량의 순에따라 중요한 인자로 작용하였고 활성탄 함량 이 많을수록 stiffness는 감소하였으며 평 량 Sw-BKP의 함량이 높을수록 증가하였다 인자간의 교 호작용은 평량과 활성탄 함량이 다른 요인에 비하여 높은 경향을 보였다. 4. 인열강도는 활성탄 함량이 증가함에 따라 가장 크게 감소하였고 시트의 평량이 펄프 배합비보다 높은 인자로 작용하였으며 평 량 Sw-BKP의 함량이 높을수록 증가하였다 인자간의 교호작용에서는 펄프 배합비와 활성탄 함량에 따라 크게 나타났다. 5. 종이 필터지에서 시트의 평량이 bulk에 가장 큰 인자로 작용하였는데 이는 같은 두께에서 평량올 변화시킨 요인으로 판단되며 시트의 평량이 높을수록 감소하였고 활성탄 함량, Sw-BKP의 배합비 가 높을수록 증가하였다. 또한, 인자간의 교호작용은 평 량과 활성 탄 함량에 따라 크게 작용하였다. 6 6. Crimp index는 관능검사 결과로서 활성탄 함량이 증가함에 따라 현저하게 저하되었으며 평량 및 S Sw-BKP의 배합비가 높을수록 양호한 결과를 나타내었다. 인자간의 교호작용에서는 평량과 펄프 배합비에 따라 가장 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 7 활성탄을 첨가하여 제조한 종이필터의 담배 연기성분 흡착능은 acetate tow에 charcoal을 첨가한 필터에 비하여 tar흡착능이 6% 이상 향상되었고, 특히 증기상 물질(vapour phase)중 aldehyde류에 대한 제거율(removal efficiency)이 높게 나타났다. 8. 건식 크림핑 방법에 의한 담배필터 제조시 펼프의 홉착능, 시트의 강도적 특성, 크림핑 조건 및 담 배 연기성분 흡착능 등을 고려하여 적정조건을 선정하였으며, 펄프 배합비(Sw-BKP따w-BKP)는 6 65/35, 시트의 평량은 40g/$m^2$ 활성탄 함량은 10% 이었다.

One mg tar cigarettes represent a growing segment of the market, in various parts of the world but specially in the Far East. Cigarette design of ultra low tar cigarettes is not easy to manage: a simple extension of the techniques used in the design of the low tar segment will usually lead to tasteless cigarettes. A detailed analysis of the design of commercial ultra low tar cigarettes in different countries shows that no 《dominant design》 has yet been adopted. Blend composition, blend density, filter design, degree of filter ventilation all vary in a large range from cigarette brand to cigarette brand, and will influence the puff number, the tar concentration in each puff and ultimately the taste. We will report and comment on the detailed analysis of 17 commercial brands of ultra low tar cigarettes. We will then review the specific influence of tobacco chemical composition, introduction of reconstituted tobacco, influence of cigarette paper characteristics, selection of filter ventilation components on the burn characteristics and tar delivery; to conclude that the commercial success of an ultra low tar cigarette is linked to a very delicate balance between this techniques and... good marking of course!

A study approached the development of a process for efficiently recycling discarded cigarette butts, reported as a major source of microplastic pollution in aquatic environments. Cigarette butts were sorted to extract filters, and cellulose acetate, the raw material of the filters, was extracted to a high degree of purity. The sorting of filters from cigarette butts was conducted through both wet and dry processes, each with optimized sorting conditions. Wet stirring sorting considered factors such as solid-liquid ratio, stirring speed, and stirring temperature. The highest efficiency of wet stirring sorting, at 46.21%, was observed with a solid-liquid ratio of 1:45, stirring speed of 200 rpm, and stirring temperature of 50℃. Dry wind power sorting took into account moisture content and residence time. The filter sorting efficiency reached its peak at 57.10% with a moisture content of 20% and a residence time of 5 minutes. There was no significant difference in the recovery rate of cellulose acetate between the two sorting processes. Dry wind power sorting was deemed a more advantageous process in terms of energy and environmental considerations within the scope of this study.

The world-wide cigarette market is becoming increasingly regulated. This involves restrictions on the freedom to advertise, restrictions on where people can smoke, and in some ways of most importance, limits on cigarette smoke deliveries. In particular, in an increasingly large number of countries maximum tar legislation is being enacted. In many cases, such as the European Union, this type of legislation is progressive and over time it is entirely conceivable that maximum permitted tar deliveries will be reduced to as low as 5 mg, possibly with additional restrictions on smoke nicotine deliveries. In addition, the pace of change is increasing as more and more countries embark on tar reduction programmes. The key challenge facing the cigarette industry is to manage these changes in such a way which ensures that product acceptability is maintained at as high a level as is possible in these circumstances. There are a number of ways of achieving this involving filter ventilation, modifying blends and using different filter constructions The real innovation comes when combining these in a way that gives the most acceptable balance of all these competing variables as far as the smoker is concerned. Undoubtedly, the nature of the filter is of crucial importance in designing the most acceptable low tar products, and this paper will discuss some of the filter types which are currently in use in the various low tar markets around the world. Also, some thoughts about the future in terms of new filter developments will be presented.

일반적으로, 소비자는 담배를 구매하기 전 디자인, 색상, 상표명 등을 평가하고, 피우기 전에는 포장된 필름의 찢김성, 필터부위의 오염여부 등의 외관과 외향을 감지하게 되며, 마지막으로 흡연하면서 담배의 다양한 향과 맛의 관능적 특성을 평가한다. 담배의 본질적인 특징은 물리 화학적인 측정기기를 이용한 이화학적 데이터와 사람의 오감을 이용해 감지한 향미특성을 종합함으로써 분석 할 수 있다. 이들 특성이 소비자 기호 선호도에 미치는 영향요인을 도출하여 소비자가 원하는 제품을 개발(Carter & Riskey, 1990)하는 데 중요한 연결고리를 관능평가를 통해 얻을 수 있다. 미국 Institute of Food Technologists(IFT)에서는 관능평가를 '식품과 물질의 특성이 시각, 후각, 미각, 촉각 및 청각으로 감지되는 반응을 측정, 분석 및 해석하는 과학의 한 분야'로 정의하고 있다(IFT Sensory Evaluation Division, 1981).

The cavity of triple filter was filled with the mixture of clinoptilolite and charcoal(1:1, V/V). The particle size of clinoptilolite was 30$\pm$5 A.S.T.M mesh. The reduction effects of the important gaseous components by this mixture were obtained as follows: 1) In comparison with the normal cellulose acetate niter, the contents of nicotine and T.P.M. were reduced about 35% and 22% respectively. 2) Many aliphatic and cyclic compounds were also substantially reduced in an average of 60%. 3) In contrast with the charcoal, the removal efficiency of clinoptilolite was revealed as higher (15-20%) in case of aliphatic compounds than the one (10-15%) of cyclic compounds. The above results showed us that the removal function of gaseous components was quite complementary each other (charcoal and clinoptilolite).

This work investigated biodegradability for the cellulose acetate, carbon dual, paper and web used to cigarette filter materials by soil test. Also, because of demanded a lot of the time and effort in case of soil test, the possibility of biodegradation by enzyme was studied. The evaluation of degradation for the filter materials by soil test was examined with the naked eye, electron microscopy and weight loss. The biodegradability according to the filter materials was represented in the order of paper > web > carbon dual > cellulose acetate without relating to the evaluation methods. Experiment of biodegradability by the cellulase(E C 3.2.1.4, Trichoderma viride) among the several biodegradability enzymes was demanded reaction time of the $5\~10$ hours and represented the same result with that of soil test.

The current study evaluated the air quality of the smoking booth equipped with the air purification system consisting of photocatalysts and air filters by measuring the concentrations of hazardous substances of tobacco smoke such as CO, HCHO, $CH_3CHO$, PM10 and PM2.5. To enhance the removal efficiency of hazardous substances, an infrared ray was exposed to improve the reactivity of OH radical generated from the photocatalyst toward environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) gas phase hazardous materials. It was found that the smoking booth with the air purification system improved the removal efficiency of hazardous substances containing formaldehyde by 85.2% compared to that of the smoking booth without any purification systems. In addition, the removal efficiency of the fine dust after treatment was enhanced up to 89.4%.
