摘要：Utilization of activated carbon cloth (ACC) as cigarette filter for the removal efficiencies of cigarette smoke constituents was studied. Cigarette smoke contains thousands of chemicals which are hazardous to human health. When the cigarette burns,thousands of chemical substances are generated,and these are emitted to gas phase. Some of these chemicals have already proven to be carcinogenic. In this work,the removal of the chemicals in cigarette smoke was studied in dynamic phase using a new product of activated carbon cloth (GDSEL 651) by proposing a new strategy. The reduction of chemicals in cigarette smoke using cigarette filters that are built manually having non-filter,mono-layer and double-layer of ACC filter was monitored by GC-MS. The flow rate of cigarette smoke was 2.48 LPM. It was found that in all filters that were used the concentration of chemicals in the smoke decreased,some of them decreased to zero. As a result,activated carbon cloth has proven to filter harmful substances effectively in cigarette smoke before entering the body during smoking. Such filter media has the ability to remove many chemicals in the air and has potential for many other air purification applications..
