Description

DISPOSABLE EGGSHELL ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIAL AND MANUFACTURING METHOD BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to a disposable eggshell eco-friendly material and manufacturing method, and in particular to a disposable eggshell eco-friendly material and manufacturing method that uses a plastic-reduction eco-friendly substitute substance and contains calcinedwaste eggshell powder and a biodegradable polymer for fabrication as substitute of disposable plastic product and natural degradation after being disposed, and recycled and regenerated for use.
2. The Related Arts
[0002] Disposable plastic products for one time use, such as personal hygiene and cleaning devices of disposable toothbrush and comb or one time use dental mirror, hook, and forceps for dental treatment, or personalepidemicprevention of medical oral mask and N95 mask, or disposable dinning utensils of chopsticks, knives, forks, spoons, and drinking straw that have been consumed in an even large quantity, require the consumption of a large amount of plastics. In addition to being not in compliance with global environmental trends of plastic reduction, the large amount of one-time-use disposable plastic products, if not properly recycled, would be disposed of to create a large amount of waste. In view of the fabrication cost and the characteristics of one time use of such plastic products, attention has been rarely placed on natural degradation or decomposition. Even being made degradable, the plastics material is still consumed with such a large quantity, so that in addition to the high material cost, no effective degradation could be realized for an effect of protection of soil, and further, the known disposable plastic products, when disposed in a large amount as accumulation of waste, could occupy a large area of the land, and the large amount of plastic waste may cause damage to the pH value of the soil, hygiene of the environment, and the soil itself, eventually leading to catastrophe that is of no way to recover. Incineration, if being taken into consideration for suchissues, mayeasily generate alarge amount of toxicant gas and carbon dioxide, and also require installation of a large number of incinerators, in combination with air pollution processing measures, all these leading to an increased cost for incineration. In addition, the toxicant gases generated by the incinerators may lead to shortening of the service life of the incinerator due to corrosion of boils and piping, this being a major reason for significant reduction oflifespan of an incinerator, makingit uneconomic.
This is an issue that must be overcome for practical
application.
[0003] In addition, edible eggs, such as chicken eggs, duck
eggs, and goose eggs, are commonly eaten as food by a large
quantity and provide a rich supply of protein to human beings.
However, after the edible eggs are generally broken and opened
for consuming yolk and protein contained inside, or after
other eggs that are not traditionally considered edible, such
as ostrich eggs and crocodile eggs, have been hatched, would
create a waste of the eggshell, and such remaining of eggshell
is disposed abundantly, leading to issues of environmental
hygiene for a large number of flies and insects would gather
around and breed for consuming the residue of protein and egg membrane, and further, this creates an environmental issues of transportation and accumulation of a large amount of garbage.
[0004] Further, for related prior patent documents, US
Patent Application Publication US20140323616 discloses
"EGGSHELL POWDER COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF PRODUCING
EGGSHELL POWDER COMPOSITIONS", in which a technique related
to a composition of mixture of eggshell powder and polymer.
As recited in paragraphs [0011]-[0012] of thepatent document,
the mixture of the eggshell powder and the polymer is carried
out as being set in an environment of low temperature and high
gas flow rate to pulverize the eggshell to a desired particle
size and to remove an inner membrane from the eggshell. To
ensure sanitary and disinfection of the eggshell powder, a
complicated process of disinfection and sterilization must
be carried out on the eggshell first and this makes the process
of manufacturing the composition very complicated and also
adds an extra amount of cost, making it uneconomic. Further,
if there is any error or incorrectness occurring in the
precedent process of disinfection and sterilization of the
eggshell, it may make products made of the composition of
mixture of eggshell powder and polymer carrying or
contaminated by bacteria, because during the manufacturing
process of the eggshell powder or the combination of the
eggshell powder and polymer, due to possible existence of
viruses and bacteria, such as colon bacillus or bird flu virus,
on the eggshellitself, contaminating machinery for injecting
operations may occurs. This makes it not suitable for making
the above-mentioned one-time-use disposable personalhygiene
and cleaning devices, such as toothbrush and comb, or
one-time-use disposable dental mirror, hook, forceps for
dental treatment, or medical oral masks and N95 masks for
personal epidemic prevention, or the even large quantity of dinning utensils of disposed chopsticks, knives, forks, and drinking straws, which require severe sterilization. This would impose a significant constraint to the application of such products and lowers the economic value thereof.
[0005] Further, Japan Patent Publication No. 3085554
teaches a similar technique that adds an eggshell assisting
substance in such a composition to enhance the strength of
a product. For example, the Japan patent document teaches,
in paragraph [0010], to enhance the strength of a product,
a residual material that is obtained after a primary
ingredient and/or an effective component of the raw material
of food and beverage, mixture with assisting substances, such
as grain powder, cellulose, insoluble minerals, seasonings,
slat, bone powder, shellfishes, and eggshell also provides
a formed product of the present invention. Similar to the
previous US patent, the eggshell is directed added into the
eggshell assisting substances at a regular temperature or a
low temperature, and in addition to the above-mentioned issue
ofincreasing cost ofdisinfection and sterilization and being
hard for complete sterilization, such a formed product also
suffers the issue that if there is any error or incorrectness
occurring in the precedent process of disinfection and
sterilization of the eggshell, it may make products made of
the composition of mixture of eggshell powder and polymer
carrying or contaminated by bacteria, because during the
manufacturing process of the eggshell powder or the
combination of the eggshell powder and polymer, due to
possible existence of viruses and bacteria, such as colon
bacillus or bird flu virus, on the eggshell itself,
contaminating machinery for injecting operations may occurs.
This makes it not suitable for making the above-mentioned
one-time-use disposable personalhygiene and cleaning devices,
such as toothbrush and comb, or one-time-use disposable dental mirror, hook, forceps for dental treatment, or medical oral masks and N95 masks for personal epidemic prevention, or the even large quantity ofdinningutensils ofdisposed chopsticks, knives, forks, and drinking straws, which require severe sterilization. This wouldimpose a significant constraint to the application of suchproducts and lowers the economicvalue thereof.
[0006] Further, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN101209112B
teaches an eggshell calcium oxide powder, a manufacturing
method and an application thereof, which provides a method
for producing eggshell powder and applications to effects of
resisting pesticide residue and disinfection, preservation,
and fresh-keeping for food. For example, the Chinese patent
teaches, in paragraph [0006], the present invention is
provided to overcome the insufficiency of the known techniques
by providing an eggshell calcium oxide powder, such an
eggshell calcium oxide powder showing effect of disinfection,
preservation, and fresh-keeping, and also helping remove
residue of pesticides from the surface of vegetables and
fruits, leaving no residue of toxicity that damages human body
health. And, a similar description is also recited in
paragraphs [0053]-[0054], and paragraphs [0061]-[0062]
provide a description concerning applications of food
sterilization and suppression of bacteria. However, the
prior Chinese patent does not disclose applications and
techniques concerning. Further, combination of the minute
powdery form eggshell power having a small diameter with the
thermoplastic materials that are available in the market is
hard or impossible for a skilled artisan to achieve by
consulting the prior art document. The prior Chinese patent
document does not provide solution of the above problems
concerning environmental protection and hygiene that actual
applications of the above-discussed one-time-use disposable personal hygiene and cleaning devices, such as toothbrush and comb, or one-time-use disposable dentalmirror, hook, forceps for dental treatment, or medical oral masks and N95 masks for personal epidemic prevention, or the even large quantity of dinning utensils of disposed chopsticks, knives, forks, and drinking straws may cause.
[0007] In addition, Taiwan Utility Model No. M592699
provides a biodegradable green biomaterial environmental
protection drinking straw, which teaches a one-time-use
environmental protection drinking straw structure for
drinking straws. A composition generally includes maritime
inorganic power made of shellfish shells, together with a
bio-based polymer, to form a degradable green biological
environmental protection drinking straw. The source of the
maritime inorganic power made of shellfish shells is the
shellfishes, which may not be easily available, and generally
depends on the growth rate and growth season, and may just
have a limited supply. Further, the process of washing
treatment is hard, requiring throughout washing and
disinfecting. Further, the maritime creatures have very hard
shells, requiring an extended period of time for grinding,
consuming a large amount of energy, leading to an excessively
high processing cost, and eventually making such a maritime
creature inorganic power extremely high in manufacturing cost,
making it uneconomic. Further, this utility model requires
a great consumption of a large number of maritime creatures
of shellfishes, and this may potentially destruct the ecology
and environment of the ocean, making it not suit for industrial
development.
