Smokable product of oxidized cellulosic material
Abstract
Abstract A smokable product of oxidized cellulosic material formulated to include combustible carbon in an amount within the range of 2-50 percent by weight of the oxidized cellulosic material for the improvement in the smoking characteristics of the smoking product forward thereof. The combustible carbon particles are of approximate colloidal dimensions and increase the heat of combustion of the oxycellulose. Melting of the oxycellulose is minimized with the carbon additive. Further, the carbon particles may carry a volatile additive absorbent thereon and function as a filtration means downstream from the combustion area. The carbon particles may be secured to the oxycellulose by means of a soluble carbohydrate binder.
