Definitions
- a method of producing a liquid-absorbing granulate and also a liquid-absorbing granulate made by the method made by the method.
- the invention relates to a method of producing a liquid- absorbing granulate, especially used for cat litter and for shop floors to absorb oil, and also a liquid-absor ⁇ bing granulate produced according to the method.
- the final product next continues on to the packing or storing facilities.
- the fractionation which is carried out after the dehrydration the grains with a grain size of more than 10 mm are conveyed to a crusher and from there back to the fractionation. Grains with a grain size under 2 mm are mixed into the moler as re-circulated dust.
- the granulate must fulf l.certain conditions as to the abili ⁇ ty to absorb, to strength, to set-off and to colour.
- the ab ⁇ sorbing ability for the given purpose must alltogether be as good as possible. It is also essential hat the grains pos ⁇ sess a certain compression strength so that they are able to bear the pressures which occur during storage and shipment and also when used as floor litter, so that it will not be crushed under a foot's load.
- the purpose of the invention is to indicate a method of pro ⁇ ducing a granulate which fulfils the above conditions and which enables the use of another substance than moler under +19.
- the raw clay is mixed with a fibre substance such as cellu ⁇ lose filament, by way of example wood fibre cellulose, straw cellulose fibres, hemp cellulose fibres, mineral wool fibres. ceramic fibres, plastic fibres (polypropylene) , glass fi ⁇ bres, wollastonite, for the purpose you may use deposits of clay which have not yet been utilized and diatomite and still obtain a granulate with properties which are compar- able with those of a granulate made traditionally from mo ⁇ ler occurences under +19. Besides it appears that the well- known moler granulate will obtain materially better proper ⁇ ties when some fibre substance is mixed with it.
- a fibre substance such as cellu ⁇ lose filament
- a method of producing a granulate going out from moler above +19 and recycling paper is that by which the recycling paper is split up in a paper mill.
- the split-up paper, the moler above +19 and sifted-out dust from the final product and al ⁇ so possible large grain sizes separated by the fractionation having passed an extruder are mixed in a kneading machine, from which the mixture is conveyed to the extruder, which makes pills out of the substance.
- a fractio ⁇ nation may take place, as already mentioned.
- the pills are dried and the drying may prospectively take place in a rotary kiln, in a drying conveyor or by air-drying, of which the last-mentioned has proved to be the best method.
- a fractionation takes places after the drying and by that the dust is sifted out and brought to the mixer. After that the finished material will be taken to the pack ⁇ ing.
- a granulate consisting of 90% moler below +19 and 10% split- up paper is produced. (The indicated percentages are based on dry weight) .
- the paper is split up by means of a stirring propeller in water.
- the paper pulp and the moler are mixed in a agitator mixer while anadequate amount of water is ad ⁇ ded, i.e. until the mixture is extrudable.
- the mixture is extruded and the granulate is dried at 110 C.
- the granulate made in this manner has the following charac ⁇ teristics:
- the granulate produced by that has the following character- 5 istics:
- a granulate consisting of 90% moler above +19 from which the ashes have been sifted out as indicated in the description of the Danish patent No. 127 410 and 10% split-up paper is produced.
- the production method is the same as for example 1.
- the granulate produced by that has the following charac ⁇ teristics:
- the Mop-test Before the test 98.16 g over 1.19 mm after the test 1.26 - - 1.19 - 1.28% granulate - 1.19 - after the test.
- a granulate of 90% moler above +19, without sifting out the ashes, and 10% split-up paper is produced.
- the production method is the same as for example 1.
- the granulate produced has the.following characteristics:
- a granulate of moler like that of example 5 is made, but no paper is added.
- the granulate is dried at 150-250°C in a rotary kiln.
- the granulate produced has the following characteristics:
- a granulate like the one in example 3 is made, however, the paper is replaced by 10% straw cellulose.

Abstract
Dans un procédé de production d'un granulé pour absorber des liquides, on ajoute à la matière de base, qui peut être de l'argile et/ou de la diatomite, un matériau fibreux tel que des filaments de cellulose. Par ce procédé, il devient possible entre autres d'utiliser à cet effet des dépôts d'argile inexploités jusqu'à aujourd'hui, et il n'est plus nécessaire de brûler le granulé, ce qui était requis pour ce qui est du granulé bien connu de "moler" qui ne contient pas une quantité considérable de cendres. Du papier recyclé peut être utilisé comme matériau fibreux avantageux et approprié. Un granulé pour absorber des liquides produit selon ce procédé consiste en une matière de base telle que l'argile, y compris le "moler", la sepiolite, l'attapulgite, le kaolin ou des mélanges de celles-ci ou la diatomite, et un matériau fibreux tel que des filaments de cellulose, p.ex. la cellulose des fibres du bois, des fibres de cellulose de paille et de chanvre, des fibres de laine minérale, des fibres céramiques, des fibres plastiques, des fibres de wollastonite.In a process for producing a granule for absorbing liquids, a fibrous material such as cellulose filaments is added to the base material, which may be clay and / or diatomite. By this process, it becomes possible inter alia for this purpose to use clay deposits unexploited until today, and it is no longer necessary to burn the granule, which was required for the granule well known to "moler" which does not contain a considerable amount of ash. Recycled paper can be used as an advantageous and suitable fibrous material. A granule for absorbing liquids produced by this process consists of a base material such as clay, including "moler", sepiolite, attapulgite, kaolin or mixtures thereof or diatomite, and a fibrous material such as cellulose filaments, eg cellulose from wood fibers, cellulose fibers from straw and hemp, mineral wool fibers, ceramic fibers, plastic fibers, wollastonite fibers.
