Insight into the effects of different oxygen heteroatoms on nicotine adsorption from cigarette mainstream smoke.

ABSTRACT: Cigarette smoke contains many chemicals, including nicotine, which is harmful and can cause health problems such as carcinogenesis disease, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, and reproductive systems. Removal of nicotine from mainstream smoke can be done through adsorption with filters or solid adsorbents. In this study, we explored the use of activated carbons for the removal of nicotine from cigarette mainstream smoke. Activated carbons were prepared from dried hemp (Cannabis sativa) stem at an activation temperature of 350-550 °C using phosphoric acid as an activating agent. The results showed that the activated carbons with variable surface functional groups and porosity exhibited high efficiency for nicotine adsorption, removing 68-88% of nicotine from cigarette mainstream smoke.
