  • Why do cigarette butts contain triacetin?
  • Unfortunately, triacetin is usually produced chemically, consuming a lot of chemicals, and resulting in waste and toxic residues. "Triacetin is used as a plasticizer in cigarettes' filter, so, naturally, cigarette butts are rich in it," says Samy Yousef, a chief researcher at Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania.
  • How much triacetin is produced in a cigarette?
  • The biggest quantity of triacetin (43%) was synthesized at 750°C. Smokers around the world buy roughly 6.5 trillion cigarettes each year. The average weight of a cigarette butt is 0.2 g; more than 1.1 million tons of them are produced annually.
  • Can pyrolysis recover triacetin from cigarettes?
  • Cigarette butts (CBs) are very rich in triacetin and are characterized by high sustainability, hence, they are probable to help to realize the concept of this strategy. Within this framework, this research aims to recover triacetin from CBs using pyrolysis treatment as an eco-friendly solution.
  • Can pyrolysis be used as a sustainable source of triacetin recovery?
  • This study experimentally proved that the pyrolysis process has a high potential to dispose of CBs and can be used as a sustainable source of triacetin recovery.
  • Is triacetin a viable alternative to biodiesel?
  • The high cost of biodiesel production is the main barrier to its commercialization. Addition of triacetin as an oxygenated additive to biodiesel is one of the most profitable solutions to augment its combustion propensity if it is extracted from a sustainable and cheap source and processed properly.
  • How is triacetin produced in biodiesel?
  • Despite the promising results and its contribution to increased combustion propensity of biodiesel , triacetin is usually produced chemically by the esterification of glycerol with acetic acid in presence of a catalyst, such as sulfuric acid, which consumes a lot of chemicals resulting in many waste and toxic residues .
