Abstract:
CuO-CeO
2 was prepared via coprecipitation and calcination.The effects of Ce content and calcination temperature on the catalytic activity of CuO-CeO
2 and the effects of CuO-CeO
2 addition to cigarette filler on the tar,nicotine,CO deliveries and taste of cigarette smoke were investigated.The results showed that:CuO-CeO
2 containing CeO
2 of 10% calcined at 250℃ for 3 hours had better catalytical capability for CO oxidation.The CO delivery of cigarette containing 0.4% of CuO-CeO
2 decreased by 12%-13% comparing with the control,while tar,nicotine and smoke taste changed unsubstantially,and the catalytical capability of CuO-CeO
2 for oxidizing CO in cigarette smoke was not significantly affected by storage time.
