Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a cellulose acetate solution which comprises cellulose acetate having an average acetic acid content in the range of 58.0 to 62.5% in a cyclic ketone having 4 to 12 carbon atoms. The present invention is further directed to a process for the preparation of a cellulose acetate solution and to a process for the preparation of a cellulose acetate film.
Abstract:
A tobacco filter is produced by wrapping up a sheet-like filter material having a web structure and comprising a cellulose ester short staple into a rod-form. As the cellulose ester short staple, a short staple that is non-crimped and/or has a modified cross section where a ratio D1/D2 of a diameter D1 of the circumscribed circle to a diameter D2 of the inscribed circle, each circle being of the cross section, of not less than 2 is used. The short staple includes e.g. a cellulose acetate fiber with an average fiber length of 1 to 10 mm and fineness of 1 to 10 deniers. The short staple may be incorporated with a beaten pulp with a Schopper-Riegler freeness of 20 to 90 DEG SR and/or a binder. The ratio of the short staple to the beaten pulp may for example be about 90/10 to 20/80 (by weight).
Abstract:
A phosphopolyol compound such as pyrogens is separated from its solution to use in the pharmaceutical field by bringing the solution into contact with a porous adsorbent which has a pore size of 1 nm to 20 microns and comprises a base material and a functional chain group of an aliphatic amine type having a chain length of 2 to 50, bonded to the base material.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of a cellulose acetate film comprises the steps of: cooling a mixture of cellulose acetate and an organic solvent to -100 to -10 DEG C; warming the cooled mixture to 0 to 50 DEG C to dissolve the cellulose acetate in the organic solvent; casting the obtained solution on a support; and evaporating the organic solvent to form the cellulose acetate film. The cellulose acetate has an average acetic acid content in the range of 58.0 to 62.5%. The organic solvent is acetone.
Abstract:
A separating membrane having a porous membrane structure with a pore size distribution that the membrane does not permeate 90 percent or more of particles having a size of 0.5 micron when the membrane is 0.1 mm thick, being composed of a material having a nitrogen-containing compound, is liquid-permeable to adsorb and retain phosphopolyols contained in a liquid.

Abstract:
An element for cigarette smoke which is obtained by adding proanthocyanidin or a porous material (for example, active carbon) carrying proanthocyanidin to a constituent element of cigarette (leaf tobacco or filter). The proanthocyanidin may be in the form of an extract obtained from at least one member selected from among press juice cakes of grape seed, pericarp and fruit.
