Abstract

Cigarette butts are one of the most discarded and littered items in the world, with a total amount of around 5.6 trillion, posing a grave threat to the environment and human health. This research seeks to recover cellulose acetate fibers from used cigarette filters and to evaluate the yarn-making capabilities of these fibers. The cigarette butts were gathered from various locations, and the fibers and coating were separated. The fibers were then treated with hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide to eliminate the burned color and odor. Acetone and distilled water were used to filter and distill the material properly. The color coordinates of the chemically altered fibers, including reflectance value and color strength, were measured afterward. To assess the chemical, thermal, physical, morphological, and mechanical characteristics of the modified cigarette butt filter fiber, atomic absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and tensile properties were examined. Significant and appealing findings were obtained for the mechanical parameters, particularly the tensile strength of 1.2 gm/den for a single fiber, the fiber density of 1.2 dtex, and the effective length of 25 mm, all of which indicate the fiber’s suitability for yarn production. In addition, FTIR, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray diffraction measurements revealed that the cigarette butt filter fiber possessed the same characteristics as commercial cellulose acetate fiber. The preliminary results obtained on the recovered cellulose acetate fiber are encouraging for the application of this recovery material from cigarette butts to create a high-demand and value-added product, such as yarn for garment production.
从废烟头中回收醋酸纤维素纤维的绿色途径及其过滤纤维的表征
烟头是世界上被丢弃和乱扔最多的物品之一,总量约为5.6万亿个,对环境和人类健康构成严重威胁。本研究旨在从二手香烟过滤嘴中回收醋酸纤维素纤维,并评估这些纤维的制纱能力。从不同的地方收集烟头,并分离纤维和涂层。然后用过氧化氢和氢氧化钠处理纤维,以消除烧焦的颜色和气味。用丙酮和蒸馏水对物料进行适当的过滤和蒸馏。随后测量化学改变纤维的颜色坐标,包括反射率值和颜色强度。通过原子吸收光谱、傅里叶变换红外光谱仪(FTIR)、热重分析、x射线衍射、扫描电镜和拉伸性能等测试,对改性后的烟头过滤纤维的化学、热、物理、形态和力学特性进行了评价。在力学参数方面取得了令人满意的结果,特别是单根纤维的抗拉强度为1.2 gm/den,纤维密度为1.2 dtex,有效长度为25 mm,均表明该纤维适合生产纱线。红外光谱(FTIR)、热重分析和x射线衍射分析表明,烟头过滤纤维具有与醋酸纤维素纤维相同的特性。对回收的醋酸纤维素纤维的初步研究结果表明,这种从烟头中回收的材料可以用于生产高需求和高附加值的产品,如服装纱线。
