Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a novel material for treating excrement from pets and the like.

[Prior Art] In recent years, various water-absorbing granules such as bulbs, zeolites, and wood flour have been proposed as materials for treating excrement from pets and the like.

However, because it is difficult to distinguish between particulate matter that has absorbed water and particulate matter that has not absorbed water, removal of the particulate matter that has absorbed water cannot be done smoothly, and unabsorbed particulate matter may also be removed, or the shape of the particulate matter may be damaged. There were times when I was Also, although it can be identified by the discoloration of granules that have absorbed water, it is approximately 0.2 to 20 m in diameter.
It is extremely troublesome to remove water-absorbed granules from the culm one by one.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventional pet excrement treatment materials, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems without sacrificing any of the advantages of conventional treatment materials. It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel material for treating excrement from pets, etc., which eliminates these drawbacks.

[Means for Solving the Problems] As a result of extensive research, the present inventors have found that the desired results can be achieved by coating the surface of granular water-absorbing material with fine bentonite powder that has agglomerating and swelling properties. They found that this effect can be obtained and completed the present invention.

That is, the present invention uses water-absorbing materials such as bulbs, zeolites, wood flour, and Seviolite from about 1 to 771 L/liter,
(preferably about 2 to 57 FL/'rrL in diameter)
The surface of the granules having coagulation and swelling properties is 15
It consists of a material for treating excrement from pets, etc. coated with fine bentonite powder of finer than 0 mesh, preferably 200 mesh or less, to a film thickness of about 10 to 500 microns, preferably about 50 to 150 microns.

In the treated material according to the present invention, only the areas where water has been absorbed form a lump-like solid mass, and the more favorable the conditions are, the firmer the solid mass becomes. You only need to replenish it.

Furthermore, if the core material of the treated material of the present invention is water-soluble or water-dispersible, such as in valves, the bentonite coating applied according to the present invention can be flushed into household flush toilets without causing any problems. It can do the same things as conventional products.

The diameter of the granules in the core material is approximately 1 to 7 m/m, preferably approximately 2 to 5 m/TrL, and small granules of 1 m/m may adhere to the pet's paws and contaminate the surrounding area. On the other hand, particles larger than 7rrt/m have the disadvantage of poor agglomeration properties.

Bentonite powder is finer than 150 mesh.
Preferably, the fineness is 200 mesh or less,
This allows the particles of the core material to be uniformly fixed in powder. 15
If the mesh is larger than 0, the coating tends to peel off, making it impossible to obtain uniform coverage of the core material.

The film thickness of the bentonite powder adhering to the water-absorbing material particles is about 10 to 500 μm, preferably about 50 to 150 μm.
selected within the μ range. If the film thickness is less than 10μ, the adhesion of bentonite to each other will be insufficient and it will be difficult to form solid lumps;
A film thickness thicker than 0μ has the disadvantage of being easy to peel off.

The material for treating excrement from pets, etc. of the present invention is made by uniformly spraying moisture onto the granular material of the core material to sufficiently moisten the surface, and then immediately sprinkling bentonite powder, which should be powdered. After mixing, dry immediately in a dryer. for example,
5m/TrL<diameter) valve granules 100tK ff
A film thickness of about 80 μm can be obtained by applying 25 parts of Ben 1 Henite powder to i part. Nauta Mikiri and Ribbon Mikiri hats are used for adding moisture and dressing. If necessary, use Rotary Dry V- for drying.
Dry at about 110 to 130°C. It is also possible to use a flow coater (manufactured by Okawara Seisakusho) that can perform moisture application, powder coating, and drying at the same time.

Furthermore, disinfectants, deodorizers, activated carbon, fragrances, surfactants, etc. can be added to the treated material of the present invention as appropriate.

Examples will be shown below to further clarify the present invention, but
This is an example, and the invention is not limited thereto. In addition, "part" and "%" in the examples refer to one item unless otherwise specified.

It is a standard.

Example 1 100 parts of a valve bulb with a diameter of 2 m/m to 5 m/m was uniformly impregnated with 40 parts of a 1.25% aqueous solution of the deodorizing agent Zero Shu using a rocking mixer, and then bentonite powder (
After adding 25 parts of 250 mesh (all products) and evenly distributing it on the surface of the bulb, rotary dry X7-
The product was dried using hot air at a temperature of 115°C.

The film thickness of the bentonite coating part of this product was 80 μm, the water absorption capacity was 29 minutes, the absorption volume was 20 cc, and the coagulation property was +++.

Example 2 200 parts of granulated wet bulb spheres (50% moisture) were placed in a V-shaped mixer, and 5 parts of a 20% aqueous solution of the deodorant Heidcenter was sprayed from the shaft nozzle, and after being sufficiently impregnated, bentonite powder was added. (All 200 mesh products) 30 parts were added and coated uniformly on the surface of a wet bulb, and then dried in a fluidized dryer to obtain a product.

Example 3 After coarsely crushing zeolite raw stone, the diameter is 2TrL/TrL~
The particles were sieved to 777L/m, and 118 parts of them (moisture 15%)
) into a rocking mixer, then add 20 parts of bentonite powder (all 250 mesh products), rotate the mixer and coat the surface with bentonite powder, then spray 5 parts of water and mix the powdered bentonite with zeolite. It sticks to the surface of granular materials. The product was then dried using a rotary dryer at a hot air temperature of 160°C.

The film thickness of bentonite powder in the obtained product is 50 μ to 10

Measuring method of film thickness: Cut the product obtained by coloring either the core material or the powder coating material using the same method as in the example, photograph the cross section using an optical microscope, and compare it with the comparison scale. Calculate the film thickness. Take the average value of the five measurements.

Measuring method of water absorption capacity: 1 liter of water colored with red ink in a 100 cc graduated cylinder
Pour in 0.0cc, then quickly pour the sample to be measured into this, tap lightly to align the top with the approximately 50cc line, and immediately check the elapsed time with a stopwatch.
After 30 minutes, the height of the liquid absorption (CC number) and the remaining liquid at the bottom of the cylinder are measured (visually). Measure the time until it is no longer recognized and the height of liquid absorption at that time.

Method for measuring coagulability: 6 (Pour the sample flat to the top in a Jφ crystallizer, pour 5 cc of water into it using a graduated pipette, and after 20 seconds, invert the crystallizing dish on paper. , observe the condition of the contents.

A sufficiently solidified material is designated as +++, a material with coagulability is designated as 10, and a material in between is designated as ÷+. Items that show no coagulability are marked -.
