Abstract:
A cellulose ester which reconciles stability to wet heat with both of the ability to be released from a substrate in film formation by solution casting even when the amount of the residual solvent is small and spinnability. It is a cellulose ester in which the molar ratio determined from the total amount of sulfuric acid remaining in 1 g of the cellulose ester (A) [unit; mol] and the total amount of calcium contained in 1 g of the cellulose ester (B) [unit; mol] satisfies the following relationship. 0.5

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a material for a cigarette filter useful for selectively removing formaldehyde in a good efficiency while holding flavoring components such as nicotine and tar. SOLUTION: This material for the cigarette filter is provided by cover-treating at least a part of a carrier consisting of a cluster of filaments such as a cellulose acetate fiber, etc., with an amino acid and/or its salt. The cigarette filter composed by such the cigarette filter material can selectively remove formaldehyde in a good efficiency, and e.g. while keeping ≥80% holding rate of each of the nicotine and tar in the smoke passing through the cigarette filter, it is possible to make ≥60% formaldehyde removal rate.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To manufacture cellulose acetate having high quality in a high yield by setting the mean value of the maximum inclined angle to a specified value or above when a pulp chip having a specified range of weight and a specified size is placed on the surface of a splitter functional part and inclined in the direction where splitting shearing force is generated. SOLUTION: In a splitter 10, two sheets of splitting means 5 and 6 consisting of splitting means bodies 11 and 12 and splitter functional parts 21 and 22 formed on the surface except their central part are arranged by facing each other. When a pulp chip having 1.7-2.0 g weight, 50 mm long and 50 mm wide is placed on the surfaces of the splitter functional parts 21 and 22 incorporated in the splitting means bodies 11 and 12 based upon a prescribed measuring method, and the surfaces are inclined in a direction where shearing force is generated, the mean value of the maximum inclined angle capable of holding the pulp chip is set to be 25 degrees or above. Thus, secondary cellulose acetate excellent in transparency, filtering performance and spinnability can easily be manufactured industrially.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a cigarette filter material having excellent disintegrability and causing little environmental pollution without deteriorating the taste of cigarette. SOLUTION: A sheet material having a paper-structure and composed of (1) short fibers of a cellulose ester such as cellulose acetate and (2) a binder fiber selected from a polysaccharide or its derivative and a biodegradable polymer and capable of bonding the short fibers is formed in the form of a rod to obtain a cigarette filter. The fiber (2) includes (2a) an esterified cellulose fiber, (2b) a cellulose fiber coated with a cellulose ester, (2c) a fibrillated cellulose ester fiber having a BET specific surface area of 0.5-4.5m /g, (2d) a cellulose fiber treated to convert at least a part of its surface to be soluble in water, etc. The sheet material may further contain beaten pulp such as wood pulp. The ratio of the fibers (1)/(2) is about 30/70 to 98/2(wt.%).

PURPOSE:To selectively adsorb and separate phosphopolyol by bringing a phosphopolyol-containing solution into contact with the porous adsorbent having an aliphatic amine type functional chain whose chain strength is 2-50 and a pore size of 1nm-20mum bonded to a base material. CONSTITUTION:A porous adsorbent is prepared by bonding an aliphatic amine type functional chain whose chain length is 2-50 to a porous base material composed of a polyhydroxyl polymer and having a pore size of 1nm-20mum. A solution containing a phosphopolyol compound is brought into contact with the porous adsorbent to selectively adsorb and hold the phosphopolyol compound from the solution to separate the same. As the porous adsorbent, one to which a primary or secondary amine type aliphatic functional chain is bonded is pref. A drug solution wherein the phosphopolyol compound is a pyrogen and ion intensity is mu=0.03-0.5 can be pref. adapted.
