Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To rapidly, hygienically and easily dispose filth, etc., by using a mixture containing a porous material and highly water absorptive polymer as a filth treating agent for disposing the filth vomited by travel sickness, eating and drinking, etc., or the filth, etc., discharged on roads, floor surfaces, etc., by the toilet accident, etc., of infants and pets. SOLUTION: The mixture containing the porous material, such as pumice and zeolite, and the highly water absorptive polymer, such as starch/polyacrylic acid graft system, is used as the treating agent. As a result, the dirt may be deodorized and may be rapidly gelatinized and solidified by absorbing moisture and therefore the rapid and hygienic disposal of the filth is made possible. Silica sand prepared to a specified grain size is added to such mixture, by which the flow property of the mixture is improved, the easy sprinkling of the agent to the filth is made possible and the easy separation of the gelatinized filth from the ground surface, floor surface, etc., is made possible. This treating agent is convenient if the agent is made always available in stores relating to drinking and eating, KARAOKE sing-along boxes, hospitals, day-nursery, pet shops, etc., or is carried by drivers of long-distant drive vehicles, etc.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a treatment agent for disposing of dirt that is vomited due to motion sickness or eating and drinking, and dirt that is excreted on the road or floor due to the rough phase of children or pets.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Familiar environmental problems include foul odors and vomiting or excrement on the road and floor.

[0003] Offensive odors include not only odors generated from garbage and sewage treatment plants, but also odors generated during grilling indoors. For the latter, for example, it is easily spread on a saucer of a grill to deodorize the odor of the object to be cooked, and is a small lumpy absorbent action made of a natural zeolite that absorbs oil emitted from the object to be cooked and does not generate smoke. Deodorant stones that also have a known.

On the other hand, vomits or excretions caused by motion sickness or eating and drinking, and vomits or excretions on the streets and floors such as filths caused by crude phases of children and pets are generated suddenly and at any place. . Conventionally, such contaminants have been cleaned up with a cleaning tool such as a broom by sprinkling sand or the like.

[0005]

However, in such a conventional method, since the disposal of filth is inadequate, it cannot be completely cleaned immediately, and it takes time and effort to clean up.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a treatment agent which can quickly and hygienically dispose of vomiting due to motion sickness, eating and drinking, filth due to a crude phase of children and pets, and filth generated in medical fields. That is.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention employs the following configuration.

[0008] As the waste treatment agent, a mixture containing a porous material and a superabsorbent polymer is used. Since filth always has an odor, the porous material adsorbs and removes the odor. In addition, the superabsorbent polymer absorbs the moisture in the waste and quickly gels (solidifies). This super absorbent polymer is
Even if some pressure is applied, it is a material with excellent water absorption and water retention that retains most of the water once absorbed,
It facilitates the treatment of gelled waste. Furthermore, by adding mineral sand prepared to a certain particle size to these mixtures and dispersing them uniformly, the fluidity of the mixture is improved, and it is easy to sprinkle on the waste, and the ground or floor of the gelled waste is added. Separation from the surface is easy.

As the porous material, it is desirable to use one of pumice and zeolite, or a combination thereof.

[0010] As is well known, pumice is a porous rock erupted from a volcano, and therefore has a large number of small pores inside, and the surface of these pores adsorbs malodor and deodorizes.

Similarly, zeolite also has a large number of pores inside, and has a deodorizing effect as described above. Zeolites also have ion exchange capacity, i.e., the ability to exchange cations in the zeolite with other cations in solution. The water absorbing power of the superabsorbent polymer is affected by the pH value and the like. In general, acids contained in vomit etc. strongly affect their pH value, and if these acids, that is, hydrogen ions are ion-exchanged with cations of zeolite, the neutralization reaction proceeds according to the amount of acids present. Therefore, it is hardly affected by the pH value, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in the water absorbing power of the superabsorbent polymer. It also has the effect of selectively replacing and removing ammonium ions having a pungent odor contained in filth by ion exchange.

The use of a starch / polyacrylic acid graft polymer having a high water-absorbing power as the superabsorbent polymer not only enables rapid gelation, but also ensures high water absorption during storage of the product comprising the mixture. Maintain power,
Product quality is stable.

[0013] As is well known, silica sand, which is a mineral sand, is widely distributed on land and sandy beaches. By stabilizing these sand particles and adding them to the mixture, they are uniformly dispersed.
The fluidity of the mixture is improved, so that the mixture can be easily sprinkled on filth, and the gelled filth can be easily separated from the ground or floor.

As described above, the porous material and the superabsorbent polymer are uniformly mixed, and mineral sand is added and uniformly dispersed. When the proper amount is sprinkled on the waste, the waste is deodorized. Within a few seconds, the gelation starts, and a treatment agent that can be quickly gelled and easily disposed is obtained.

Also, by enclosing the mixture in a sealed container having a sealable outlet, only the required amount can be used after opening, and after use, the outlet is sealed to allow the next use. In addition, stable storage of products is possible.

[0016] In addition, the above-mentioned treating agent, after treating filth,
There is no danger of polluting the waste.

[0017]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

Table 1 shows a desirable range of the blending ratio (% by weight) of the embodiment of the above-mentioned rapid solidifying agent for waste.

[0019]

[Table 1]

The pumice may be of ordinary acidic volcanic nature,
It is desirable to use fine particles having a particle size of about 60 to 250 mesh from the viewpoints of mixing with other components and fluidity, that is, ease of sprinkling on waste.

As the zeolite, clinoptilolite (clinoptilolite) or mordenite (mordenite), which is a widely distributed natural zeolite, can be used. Further, synthetic zeolite using silica sand or alumina as a raw material or artificial zeolite using limestone as a raw material may be used. For the same reasons as above, in each case the particle size is between 60 and 25.
It is desirable to use fine particles of about 0 mesh.

As the superabsorbent polymer, it is desirable to use the above-mentioned partial sodium salt of the graft polymer which is a partially neutralized product of a starch / acrylic acid graft polymer with caustic soda. The superabsorbent polymer not only enables rapid gelation, but also maintains a high water absorption power during storage of the product comprising the mixture, and stabilizes the product quality. Further, a polyvinyl alcohol / polyacrylic acid-based superabsorbent polymer may be used. In any case, for the above-mentioned reason, it is desirable to pulverize the powder into fine particles of about 100 to 250 mesh.

It is desirable to use silica sand as the mineral sand. Silica sand, as described above, is widely used on land or sandy beaches, namely, natural silica sand or coarse-grained natural silica or quartz sand separated from refractory viscosity, etc. Good. In any case, the particle size is desirably adjusted to about 60 to 200 mesh from the necessity of maintaining the above-mentioned fluidity and the like.

By appropriately and uniformly mixing these components, as described above, it is possible to obtain a treating agent capable of deodorizing filth, rapidly gelling and easily disposing.

The lower limit of the compounding ratio of each component shown in Table 1 is determined for any of the components by lowering the above-mentioned action, and the upper limit is set even if a larger amount is added. Significant improvement in action cannot be expected, and it is determined by the inability to properly maintain the balance of each component. In particular, the mixing ratio of pumice 40%, silica sand 20%, zeolite 20%, and superabsorbent polymer 20% is desirable.

After opening, use only a required amount of the treating agent, and then close the outlet to prepare for the next use, thereby enabling stable storage of the product. Enclosed in a sealed container with a mouth. As the sealed container, a plastic container or the like having a barrier property against moisture, moisture, and the like is desirable.

The composition and the mixing ratio of the treatment agent can be appropriately changed according to the type of waste. Therefore, a mixture of the superabsorbent polymer and mineral sand alone can also be used as a waste treatment agent. Alternatively, activated carbon having a deodorizing effect and having a controlled particle size may be used instead of the pumice stone, and zircon sand may be used as the mineral sand.

The above-mentioned treating agent is extremely convenient if it is always kept in a food-related store, a karaoke box, a hospital, a nursery school, a nursery, a pet shop, or the like, or carried by a long-distance car driver. .

[0029]

As described above, the pumice according to the present invention,
If a mixture containing a porous material such as zeolite and a superabsorbent polymer such as a starch / polyacrylic acid graft system is used as a treating agent, it can deodorize filth and absorb water to quickly gel and solidify. In addition, it is possible to sanitarily dispose of filth in a short time.

Further, by adding silica sand adjusted to a certain particle size to the mixture, the fluidity of the mixture is improved, and the mixture is easily sprinkled on filth, and the gelled filth is easily removed from the ground or floor. Can be separated.
