Definitions

  • This invention pertains to oxidation catalysis, particularly to the catalytic oxidation of toxins in cigarette smoke and in other heated gaseous mixtures.
  • Semiquinone radicals and their precursors, hydroquinone and catechol, are among the most toxic components of cigarette smoke. Semiquinone radicals are unusual in that they can be stable, non-reactive, and persistent in cigarette smoke and in the environment. When introduced to biological systems, they reduce oxygen to form superoxide radicals that initiate cascade reactions that produce other reactive oxygen species, oxidative stress, and cellular damage. [0005] Prior attempts to catalyze toxins in burning cigarettes have generally not been very successful.
  • Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles (3 nm) were more effective than larger Fe 2 O 3 particles in oxidizing carbon monoxide.
  • Nanoparticie additives in cigarettes as an oxidant or catalyst for the conversion of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide.
  • the nanoparticles are selected from Fe 2 O 3 , CuO, TiO 2 , CeO 2 , Ce 2 O 3 , AI 2 O 3 , Y 2 O 3 doped with zirconium, and Mn 2 O 3 doped with palladium.
  • WO 03/086115 discloses the use of partially reduced nanoparticie additives in cigarettes as an oxidant for the conversion of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, or the conversion of nitric oxide to nitrogen.
  • the compound that is partially reduced may be selected from Fe 2 O 3 , CuO, TiO 2 , CeO 2 , Ce 2 O 3 , AI 2 O 3 , Y 2 O 3 doped with zirconium, and Mn 2 O 3 doped with palladium.
  • the partially reduced additive comprised Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles that had been treated with a reducing gas such as CO, H 2 , or CH 4 .
  • a small, microstructured particle supporting a nanostructured catalyst that contains titanium oxide, iron oxide, and calcium oxide is highly active in promoting the oxidation of various compounds, including for example semiquinone-type radicals, other free radicals, hydroquinone, substituted hydroquinones, catechol, substituted catechols, chlorinated phenols, and carbon monoxide, even at moderately elevated temperatures.
  • the catalyst remains active in both pyrolytic and oxygen-rich environments for extended periods of time, and possesses high redox cycling potential; it is even active at room temperature and moderately elevated temperatures.
  • highly porous catalysts whose pores are susceptible to clogging by coke, the efficiency of catalysis is not strongly affected by coking in a combustion environment.
  • the novel process may be used, for example, to reduce levels of radicals such as semiquinone radicals, surface-stabilized organic radicals, catechols, hydroquinones, ketones, aldehydes, other toxic hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide in tobacco smoke.
  • the catalyst is highly reactive with these products. Catalysis operates over a temperature range from room temperature to about 900 0 C, which includes temperatures typical of tobacco smoke and in a conventional cigarette filter.
  • the catalyst is formed from nontoxic materials, and is relatively inexpensive.
  • the novel technique may be used, for example, to catalytically destroy semiquinone radicals, catechols, hydroquinones, and other toxins in burning cigarettes or other tobacco products.
  • the novel technique (1) is selective towards the toxic species, (2) does not substantially reduce total particulate matter, which contains the taste desired by most smokers, (3) does not foul substantially (over the relevant time scale) upon exposure to the tar formed by burning cigarettes, (4) does not substantially clog any filters on the cigarette or other tobacco product, (5) does not cause the catalyst to be aerosolized when the tobacco is burned, and (6) is based on nontoxic materials.
  • the catalyst comprises a layer of iron oxide, at least some of which is in the y form, supported on a titanium oxide core. Preferably at least 10% of the iron oxide is in the Y form.
  • the iron oxide layer has a thickness on the order of a few Express Mail No. EV854031008 nanometers on the surface of the titanium oxide core, in an "egg-in-shell" structure. The limited addition of calcium cations helps to stabilize the iron oxide in the Y form.
  • the catalyst comprises about 85-97% titanium oxide by weight, primarily in the core; about 1-15% by weight iron oxide, preferably about 3-10% by weight, contained primarily in a shell surrounding the titanium oxide core; calcium about 0.5-10 mole-% of the iron, preferably about 1-5 mole-% of the iron, primarily in the shell; and about 0-5% by weight other components which, if present, are in sufficiently low concentration that they do not substantially reduce the activity of the catalyst as compared to an otherwise-identical catalyst lacking such other components.
  • the titania core preferably has a diameter between about 1 ⁇ m and about 100 ⁇ m, more preferably between about 1 ⁇ m and about 50 ⁇ m.
  • the catalyst used in the novel process may be prepared, for example, by a sol-gel preparation method.
  • the catalyst is capable of low-temperature redox cycling between the +2 and +3 oxidation states of iron, starting at temperatures as low as ⁇ 180°C.
  • the catalyst promotes the low-temperature (i.e., below about 500 0 C) or moderate temperature (i.e., up to about 900 0 C) oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, and also promotes the low-temperature or moderate-temperature oxidation of organic compounds, including for example phenols, hydrocarbons, and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
  • the catalyst will catalyze the oxidation and decomposition of a variety of compounds, such as toxic components of various combustion streams, including a variety of unsubstituted and substituted hydrocarbons, including for example acrolein, formaldehyde, acetone, benzene, halogenated benzenes, phenol, substituted phenols, halogenated phenols, other hydroxylated aromatic hydrocarbons, hydroxylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, catechol, substituted catechols, hydroquinone, substituted hydroquinones, chloroform, bromoform, furan, volatile organic compounds, halogenated volatile organic compounds, lignin, lignin decomposition products, ketones, substituted ketones, aldehydes, substituted aldehydes, radicals derived from any of these compounds, and other organic gas-phase radicals.
  • unsubstituted and substituted hydrocarbons including for example acrolein, formaldehyde, acetone,
  • the catalyst is inexpensive to manufacture, it is highly efficient, and it does not readily lose activity by coking. Thus, for example, it maintains a high degree of activity in cigarette smoke.
  • the catalyst will catalyze the destruction of free radicals and their precursors in cigarette smoke, and also inhibit the formation of the radicals upon exposure to air.
  • radicals may include, for example, para-semiquinone, o/if/7o-semiquinone, substituted semiquinones, polyaromaticsemiquinones, substituted polyaromatic semquinones, phenoxyl, substituted phenoxyls, and other oxygen- containing radicals.
  • Standard iron oxide catalysts typically comprise the ⁇ -iron oxide crystal structure.
  • the ⁇ -crystalline structure of iron oxide is quite stable; but it requires high temperatures to become an efficient catalyst.
  • the y form of iron oxide is far more reactive; but it is thermodynamically unstable, and it readily converts to the more stable ⁇ form, especially when heated.
  • the ⁇ form of Fe 2 O 3 has an octahedral structure, while the y form is a mixture of tetrahedral and octahedral structures, with unbalanced valences that contribute to its reactivity.
  • Nanoparticle catalysts achieve high surface area without the need for pores, and they are therefore less susceptible to deactivation by clogging or coking. It may be more accurate, however, to describe the catalyst not as being based upon nanoparticles perse, but rather as comprising microparticles with nanolayer coatings, an "egg-in-shell" structure.
  • the catalysts are resistant to pore clogging by coke formation. Unlike many catalysts, it is believed that these catalysts do not require pores to achieve high activity.
  • a relatively nonporous titanium oxide core (diameter on the order of micrometers) is coated with a thin layer of active iron oxide catalyst (thickness on the order of nanometers).
  • the catalysts may optionally be supported on a solid substrate, for example on a honeycomb-type structure, or in or on a fiber.
  • the catalyst is not substantially fouled, and its effectiveness is not substantially diminished by burning tobacco during the time it takes, for example, to completely burn a cigarette.
  • the resistance to fouling is believed to result from a high surface activity that does not rely upon porosity to achieve a high surface area.
  • porous catalysts generally do not function well in a cigarette after the first puff.
  • the mass transport of gases produced by the burning cigarette is high.
  • the gases transport tar and tar precursors to the interior pores of a porous catalyst.
  • heat transport to the pore interior is low. Tar forms in the pore interiors, where the temperature is too low to burn the tar out of the catalyst pore. As a consequence a porous catalyst is deactivated.
  • Our nonporous catalyst may be incorporated into tobacco, a cigarette filter, a separate packed bed between the tobacco and the filter, the cigarette paper, or into more than one of these locations.
  • the catalyst does not clog conventional cigarette filters. From the smoker's perspective, the experience of smoking of a cigarette is not substantially altered by the catalyst.
  • placing a nanoparticle catalyst into a filter can render a cigarette virtually unsmokable, clogging the cigarette filter, reducing the air flow rate, and reducing the delivery of TPM to the smoker.
  • the catalyst used in this invention is "nanostructured," but it is not a “nanoparticle.”
  • the catalyst used in this invention comprises a relatively large matrix material that supports a nanolayer of the active phase.
  • the catalyst preferably contains only non-toxic components.
  • the catalyst is formulated in a 20-80 mesh size, a size at which it should not pass through a conventional filter to any substantial extent, and thus should not be inhaled (or inhaled only minimally) by the smoker with the primary tobacco smoke.
  • the placement of the catalyst in the cigarette helps to minimize both direct and second-hand exposure to the catalyst by smokers and others.
  • FIG. 4 depicts schematically a typical temperature distribution in a burning cigarette. Different temperature regions are conducive to forming different types of radicals.
  • the oxidative pyrolysis 210-350 0 C zone and the RT-350°C oxidative pyrolysis zone are most conducive to forming semiquinone-type radicals. Placing the catalyst in or near these zones will therefore help to reduce the concentration of semiquinone radicals.
  • the proximity of these zones to the periphery of the cigarettes Express Mail No. EV854031008 means that placement of the catalyst in the paper can be an effective control strategy, in lieu of, or in addition to placement in the tobacco, in front of the filter, or in the filter.
  • the catalyst in a cigarette are the following: (1) in a packed bed between the tobacco and the filter, (2) in the tobacco, (3) in the paper, and (4) admixed with the fibers of the filter.
  • a packed bed is perhaps the simplest approach.
  • placing the catalyst in the paper or the tobacco has certain advantages. More than one option may be employed simultaneously, i.e., the catalyst may be placed in a packed bed, the tobacco, and in the paper in the same cigarette.
  • Option 1 placing the catalyst in a packed bed, has the advantage that it reduces the concentration of radicals in the main stream of smoke inhaled by the smoker, regardless of the zone in which the radicals are formed. However, the temperature of the bed will be not much above room temperature, resulting in a catalytic efficiency of about 70 %.
  • Option 2 placing the catalyst in the tobacco itself, increases the temperature of the catalyst and therefore improves its performance. It also places the catalyst closer to the zone of formation for most of the radicals, thereby further increasing its effectiveness. After combustion the catalyst particles are incorporated primarily into the ash, with little going into either the main-stream smoke or side-stream smoke. The catalyst typically has a rusty brown color that will not substantially change the appearance of the tobacco.
  • Option 3 incorporation into the cigarette paper, may readily be accomplished because the catalyst is hydrophilic, and therefore compatible with other components of the paper. Like placement in the tobacco, placement of the catalyst in the paper puts the catalyst closer to where radicals are formed, and increases the temperature of the catalyst and therefore its effectiveness.

  • Figure 2 depicts the percentage conversion of carbon monoxide over the nanocatalyst compositions, both with and without pre-exposure of the catalyst to cigarette smoke.
  • Figures 3(A) and 3(B) depict the oxidation of catechol and hydroquinone over the nanocatalyst compositions.
  • Figure 4 depicts the temperature distribution in a burning cigarette and the regions in which various radicals are formed.
  • the iron and calcium sources used in the preparation may be chosen from a variety of precursors, both organometallic and inorganic.
  • the precursors should be soluble in the preparation solvent. Otherwise, most organometallic sources of calcium or iron are suitable, as are inorganic sources that, upon decomposition (e.g., oxidation), do not leave substantial amounts of the counter-anion in the structure of the nanoparticle. (For example, chlorides and sulfonates would generally be undesirable, as they would have a tendency to leave residues of chlorine or sulfur, respectively, in the crystal structure.) Titanium isopropoxide is the preferred titanium precursor. [0036] A preferred preparation method uses the following sequential steps:
  • the active phase precursor was dissolved in absolute ethanol in a 1 :100 molar ratio at room temperature, in the absence of substantial amounts of water.
  • calcium acetylacetonate was dissolved in the solution. (The amount of calcium is chosen to achieve the desired concentration of calcium in the final product.)
  • a titanium isopropoxide solution was prepared in absolute ethanol in a 1 :150 molar ratio at room temperature.
  • this layer may be between about 1 nm and about 20 nm.

  • 5% Fe 2 O 3 / TiO 2 composition (i.e., a more conventional catalyst) was prepared by impregnating TiO 2 with an aqueous solution of iron (III) nitrate.
  • Modified catalysts 1-4 were sol-gel samples prepared as described above. These four catalysts had the following compositions:
  • Modified catalyst 1 5% Fe 2 O 3 / Titania
  • Modified catalyst 2 5% Fe 2 O 3 / Titania + 1 % Ca
  • Modified catalyst 3 5% Fe 2 O 3 / Titania + 3% Ca
  • Modified catalyst 4 5% Fe 2 O 3 / Titania + 5% Ca Express Mail No. EV854031008
  • This conditioning should serve the same function; or the catalyst may be separately activated before being placed in the cigarette or other tobacco product.
  • smoke For samples that are denoted as "smoked,” the smoke from one whole commercial Marlboro cigarette, whose filter had previously been cut off, was pulled in "puff mode" through the catalyst bed, which was maintained at 200°C. The temperature was then set to the desired value, and a mixture of 0.75% CO and 20% O 2 (by weight) in He was pulled through the catalyst bed at a total flow rate of 10O mL / min. (without prior conditioning). The gases exiting the catalyst bed (particularly CO) were analyzed on a MIDAC 2000 FTIR spectrometer in real time.
  • Modified Catalyst 3 was superior to the conventional iron oxide catalyst for CO oxidation. We also found that the catalyst retained most of its activity for CO oxidation even following exposure to cigarette smoke. [0053] Similar results are expected when the experiment is repeated for oxidation of CO (and other compounds) directly in a stream of cigarette smoke or other tobacco smoke.
  • Either catechol or hydroquinone was introduced into the gas stream using a Varian Chromatoprobe at an injection port held at 90°C for catechol or 12O 0 C for hydroquinone, at a rate to maintain a constant 20 ppm concentration of the reactant in the input stream.

Abstract

L'invention concerne l'utilisation de la catalyse pour réduire les niveaux de radicaux, de toxines et de monoxyde de carbone dans la fumée de tabac. La catalyse fonctionne efficacement à des températures propres à la fumée de tabac, utilise des matières non toxiques et est relativement économique. Le catalyseur nanostructuré contient de l'oxyde de titane, de l'oxyde de fer et de l'oxyde de calcium. Le catalyseur comprend une couche d'oxyde de fer de la forme Y supportée par un noyau d'oxyde de titane. L'ajout de cations calcium aide à stabiliser l'oxyde de fer dans la forme Y. La couche d'oxyde de fer a une épaisseur de l'ordre de quelques nanomètres à la surface du noyau d'oxyde de titane, l'ensemble formant une structure dite d''oeuf dans sa coquille'. Le nanocatalyseur permet d'activer efficacement l'oxydation de composés, tels que l'hydroquinone, le catéchol, d'autres hydrocarbures, des phénols chlorés, des radicaux semiquinones et du monoxyde de carbone, à température ambiante et à des températures supérieures. La catalyse reste active dans un environnement de pyrolyse ou de combustion pendant un laps de temps prolongé et présente un potentiel de cyclage redox élevé. Le rendement de catalyse n'est pas fortement affecté par la cokéfaction dans un environnement de pyrolyse ou de combustion.
