Abstract

To investigate the effects of metal powders on the release of volatiles from electromagnetic pyrolysis of reconstituted tobacco, experiments involving varying types, proportions, and particle sizes of metal additives were conducted under different heating voltages. Results show that heating voltage plays a predominant role in the release of volatiles during pyrolysis. Increasing heating voltage significantly enhances the total release of volatiles, as well as the release of key constituents such as nicotine, glycerol, and neophytadiene. In comparison to iron powder, nickel powder exhibits a more pronounced ability to promote the release of major constituents and flavor compounds in the volatiles during pyrolysis. Reducing the particle size of nickel powder leads to a moderate decrease in the total release of volatiles but has a limited impact on the composition of the volatiles. Conversely, reducing the particle size of iron powder, while somewhat decreasing the total release of volatiles, promotes the generation of effective constituents in the volatiles. Increasing the proportion of metal powder addition enhances the release of major constituents and flavor compounds in the volatiles, albeit with diminishing returns in terms of the improvement. These findings provide valuable insights for potential applications in tobacco industry processes and product development.
