Significant Removal of Harmful Compounds in Mainstream Cigarette Smoke Using Carbon Nanotubes Mixture Prepared by Catalytic Pyrolysis by Shun Zhou, Min Ning, Yaping Zhang, Qing He, Xiaofeng Wang, Dongliang Zhu, Song Guo, Ningning Hong, Yuan Hu

“…The textural structure of CNTM has mesoporous and macroporous nanostructures. After introducing 15 mg of CNTM into cigarette filter, some of the most important harmful compounds including tar, nicotine, benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and phenolic compounds were more efficiently adsorbed in comparison with using commercial activated carbon, which can be related to the relatively bigger pore volume and a geometric confinement of CNT in CNTM for some toxic compounds in cigarette smoke. …”
