Description of the Related Art As urination treatment molded products for animals or humans such as dogs and cats, crushed natural sands such as silica sand, and water absorbing materials such as zeolites and water absorbing polymers. BACKGROUND ART Granular-type urination molded articles such as granulated materials are conventionally known. However, the urine-treated molded product of the granular type is liable to be scattered when used to pollute the surroundings, to easily generate dust, to be inconsistent in shape and fluidity, and to be inconvenient to handle and dispose of. There are drawbacks such as the fact that they cannot be disposed of. Further, a sheet-shaped type urination treatment molded product is also conventionally known, for example,
Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 1-105448 describes a paper-like sheet, a human urine deodorizing and sterilizing sheet. However, paper-like sheets have drawbacks such as poor absorbency for urine and the like, and inconvenient handling and disposal due to their low strength, and cannot be used for a long period of time.
Further, although the urination-treated molded article is required to have a deodorizing effect, a urination-treated molded article having a high deodorizing effect and free from the above-mentioned disadvantages has not yet been developed.

In order to obtain a urination-treated product which satisfies the above-mentioned physical properties such as bulk density, it is preferable to produce the urine-absorbing base material made of ground pulp by the following production method. Since the ground pulp contains a large amount of lignin having high rigidity and a large amount of hemicellulose having a high water absorption, a urination treatment molded product containing the predetermined amount of the ground pulp is compared with a urination treatment formed product containing ordinary chemical pulp. Low bulk density, bulky and thick, and high saturated water absorption and water absorption speed. In addition, since the ground pulp itself has a certain degree of deodorant and antibacterial effect, a further antibacterial agent (an antibacterial agent or a surfactant having an antibacterial effect) is added to the urine absorbing and absorbing base material made of the ground pulp. By appropriately blending a deodorant as needed, a urination-treated molded article that does not emit malodor for a long time and can be used hygienically can be obtained. In the case of using the ground pulp, if the content increases, the strength of the urination-treated molded article, particularly the wet strength tends to decrease, but the urination-treated molded article of the present invention uses the interfiber binder as described above. Because it contains the predetermined amount,
It has sufficient strength and wet strength for practical use. Also, depending on the inter-fiber binder used, the hydrophilicity of the urination-treated molded article is reduced, and there is a possibility that the absorbability of urine and the like may be reduced.
Since the urination-treated molded article of the present invention contains the surfactant in the predetermined amount as described above, not only the decrease in hydrophilicity due to the use of the interfiber binder is prevented, but also the original water absorption of the ground pulp. A water absorption capacity higher than the capacity is given to the urine-treated product, so that the urine and the like can be absorbed very well.

The urination-treated molded article 1 can be produced by any of a dry method and a wet method. As a dry production method, for example, a mixture of a vegetable fiber or the like, which is a raw material of the urinary absorption substrate, is mixed with a surfactant, an antibacterial agent, and a binder as an interfiber binder, and the mixture is formed into a predetermined shape. A sheet-shaped material is placed in a mold frame, subjected to a hot press treatment and preliminarily dehydrated, and then dried with a dryer or the like until the sheet-shaped material has a desired moisture content. Can be adopted. At that time, the conditions of the hot press treatment are such that the press pressure is preferably 4 to 2400 kPa, more preferably 10 to 1 from the viewpoint of setting the bulk density within the above range and setting the thickness to the above value or more.
000 kPa, and the pressing temperature is preferably 60 to 1
The temperature is 20 ° C., more preferably 20 to 105 ° C., and the pressing time is 0.5 to 20 minutes, more preferably 3 to 5 minutes. On the other hand, as a wet-type production method, for example, a fourdrinier-type papermaking method or a circular-mesh-type papermaking method, which is performed in general paper production, can be employed, and a known papermaking machine can be used. In the wet production method, a cross-linking agent (paper strength agent) is suitably used as the inter-fiber binder as described above. Urination-treated molded articles are, in particular,
It can be manufactured by the same method as the method of manufacturing an insulation board used as a core material or a wall material of a tatami mat.

As shown in FIG. 1, for example, the urination-treated molded article 1 is laid on the bottom surface inside the tray 2 and a mesh-shaped lid is provided on the upper part thereof for physically protecting the urination-treated molded article 1. 3 can be used as a pet toilet. At this time, since the urination-treated molded article 1 is a fixed-shaped article, it is easy to handle without generating dust unlike the granular type urination-treated molded article. Further, at the time of use, the urination-treated molded article 1 has a high deodorizing effect and can suppress the emission of offensive odors due to the antibacterial effect, so that it is not necessary to consider the installation location of the pet toilet and can be used hygienically. Further, since the urination-treated molded article 1 has a large amount of absorption of urine and the like and is excellent in absorbability, it can be used for a long time in combination with high deodorizing effect and antibacterial effect. After use, the urination-treated molded article 1 has a high wet strength and can maintain a flat plate shape even when urine or the like is absorbed, so that it can be easily taken out and easily incinerated as combustible waste.
