Abstract

Compared to traditional combustible cigarettes, heat-not-burn cigarettes can mitigate the production of harmful substances resulting from tobacco combustion, reducing the impact on the surrounding environment. Glycerol and propylene glycol are crucial constituents of the aerosolizer in the thermal decomposition process of tobacco. To investigate the influence of glycerol and propylene glycol additives on the release characteristics of volatile compounds during tobacco electromagnetic heating, experiments were conducted using tobacco materials with varying proportions of glycerol and propylene glycol, along with different metal powder additives, under varying voltage conditions. The results indicate that, with an increase in propylene glycol content in tobacco, tobacco samples with added nickel powder exhibited a higher release of volatile compounds compared to those with added iron powder. When nickel powder was used as the electromagnetic heating metal powder, an increase in propylene glycol content initially led to suppression and subsequently enhancement of thermal decomposition in the reconstituted tobacco. In contrast, when iron powder served as the electromagnetic heating metal powder, an increase in propylene glycol content initially promoted and later inhibited thermal decomposition in the reconstituted tobacco. These findings provide valuable insights for the development of future tobacco electromagnetic heating processes, aiding in the reduction of the environmental impact of traditional cigarette combustion products in the future.
