Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cigarette according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the invention is to develop a cigarette with a gas phase active filter which can be produced very efficiently and at the same time inexpensively.
  • the invention thus relates to a filter cigarette with a filter containing activated carbon with: a) a tobacco rod surrounded by a cigarette paper; b) a double filter, in which the strand-side part consists of a carbon-containing tissue paper, and with c) a circumferential filter ventilation zone in the mouth-side part made of cellulose acetate; d) the tissue paper of the strand-side filter part is a very voluminous paper which contains 20 to 50% by weight of microfine ground activated carbon; e) the ratio of the condensate retention performances of the strand-side to the mouth-side filter part is between 1 and 2; f) the air permeability of the cigarette paper is 40 to 100 Coresta units; and g) the degree of filter ventilation is 5 to 60%.
  • the cigarette paper porosity is 30 to 60% rel. higher than the cigarette paper porosity of a comparable cigarette produced with a conventional filter and the degree of filter ventilation is 10 to 60% rel. lower than the degree of filter ventilation of a comparable cigarette made with a conventional filter.
  • the tissue paper has a basis weight of approx. 40 - 60 g / m 2 , an activated carbon content of 15 - 50% and a thickness of 150 200 ⁇ m.
  • a preferred variant has a weight per unit area of 50 g / m 2 and an activated carbon content of 30% by weight with a thickness of 180 ⁇ m.
  • the strand-side filter part of the double filter is a core filter according to DE 42 05 658 C2, in which the core is made of carbon-containing tissue paper as in the first-mentioned embodiment, which is surrounded by a jacket made of material which is almost impermeable to the mainstream smoke .
  • This almost smoke-impermeable material consists, for example, of highly compressed cellulose acetate fibers.
  • the cigarettes C and D differed in the same way in the reactivity, whereby the tobacco flavor of variant D was more pronounced.
  • the F variant was significantly less reactive, but had an increased tobacco aroma.
  • the mouth-side filter part in addition to the known acetate monofilter: for example, a coaxial construction of the mouth-side filter part is known to offer the possibility of simultaneously providing the desired retention and the desired open one Optimally adjust the drag of the cigarette independently.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une cigarette comportant un filtre qui contient un charbon actif. Cette cigarette présente un boudin de tabac entouré de papier à cigarettes, un double filtre, dans lequel la partie côté boudin est constituée d'un papier de soie renfermant du charbon, et une zone de ventilation du filtre s'étendant dans le sens périphérique, située dans la partie côté bouche en acétate de cellulose. Le papier de soie de la partie du filtre côté boudin est un papier très volumineux qui contient 20 à 50 % en poids de charbon actif broyé microfin. Le rapport des propriétés de rétention de condensat entre la partie filtre côté boudin et celle côté bouche est compris entre 1 et 2. La perméabilité à l'air du papier à cigarettes est comprise entre 40 et 100 unités CORESTA et le taux de ventilation du filtre est compris entre 5 et 60 %.
