A surface-modified adsorbent and a process for making a surface-modified adsorbent are provided. The process involves providing an adsorbent and a non-volatile organic compound to a vessel, adjusting the temperature and/or pressure to provide supercritical conditions for a supercritical fluid, and introducing the supercritical fluid into the vessel. The supercritical fluid dissolves the non-volatile organic compound, and impregnates the adsorbent with the non-volatile organic compound. The surface-modified adsorbent can be used, for example, in cut filler compositions, cigarette filters, and smoking articles. Methods for making cigarette filters, cigarettes and for smoking a cigarette comprising the surface-modified adsorbent are also provided. The surface-modified adsorbents can be used to remove one or more selected components from mainstream smoke, without removing other components, such as those that contribute to flavor.
本文提供了一种表面改性吸附剂和一种制造表面改性吸附剂的工艺。该工艺包括向容器中提供吸附剂和非挥发性有机化合物,调节温度和/或压力以提供超临界流体的超临界条件,并将超临界流体引入容器。超临界流体溶解非挥发性有机化合物,并用非挥发性有机化合物浸渍吸附剂。表面改性吸附剂可用于切割填充物组合物、香烟过滤嘴和烟具等。此外,还提供了包含表面改性吸附剂的香烟过滤嘴、香烟和吸食香烟的方法。表面改性吸附剂可用于去除主流烟雾中的一种或多种选定成分,而不去除其他成分,例如有助于增加香味的成分。
