Effect of the addition of zeolites and silicate compounds on the composition of the smoke generated in the decomposition of Heet tobacco under inert and oxidative atmospheres

Five potential additives, three zeolites and two silicates, have been studied for reducing the amount of compounds generated when smoking Heet tobacco. Pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry experiments (Py-GC/MS) show that this type tobacco generates large amounts nicotine glycerol such as phenol, acetaldehyde, acetone formaldehyde are classified harmful components potentially (HPHC). USY SBA-15 additives present major reductions in inert oxidative atmosphere, being these greater SBA-15. These results confirmed by significant SBA-15, especially total particle matter (TPM) where a reduction more than 40% is obtained most compounds, several even higher 60%. may further reduce toxicity
