Description

  The present invention relates to a pet manure treatment material (hereinafter referred to as a manure treatment material) used for pet litter, and more specifically, it is inexpensive, excellent in deodorization and water absorption, and improves the environment in a house. It is related with the manure processing material which can contribute.

  In the past, deodorization has been a problem in pet toilet granules such as dogs and cats, and natural minerals such as zeolite and sepiolite are used as an example of pet toilet granules with high deodorizing effects that solve the problem. There is what I did. (For example, Patent Document 1)

Utility Model Registration No. 3154924

  However, the animal toilet grain material described in Patent Document 1 is expensive as a result, and has a problem that it is not poured into the toilet because it uses mineral substances.

  The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a feces and urine treatment material that has deodorizing and water absorption effects, is inexpensive, and has an environmental improvement effect.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present inventor has a sponge structure (porous structure), has an aromatherapy effect, and has come to make the present invention, focusing on the grass whose demand has been decreasing in recent years. The composition consists of granulating and drying a mixture of 5 to 15 parts by weight of a binder and water suitable for granulation as a basic composition with respect to 100 parts by weight of a ground grass or a ground mixture of grass and wood. The first feature is that the particle size is 3 to 6 mm, the length is 5 to 15 mm, and the moisture content is 10 to 15%.

  A second feature is that the content of weeds in the ground mixture of weeds and wood is 20 to 90% by weight.

A third feature is that 0.1 to 1.2 parts by weight of citric acid is further added to the basic composition.

Furthermore, a fourth feature is that a manure treatment material obtained by using only pulverized material of grass is mixed with a manure treatment material comprising a general wood material at a volume ratio of 80:20 to 20:80. And

The pet manure processing material of the present invention described above has the following effects.
1. Manure treatment material can be manufactured at low cost because it uses inexpensive and available grass.
2. Due to the unique scent component and sponge structure of grass, excellent deodorization and water absorption are obtained. Addition of citric acid further increases the deodorizing effect.
3. Adsorbs formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide, etc. that cause sick house in the house where manure treatment material is placed, contributes to air purification, and coupled with the aromatherapy effect of grass, discomfort in the house Remove.
4). It is lightweight and can be incinerated.

It is a perspective view which shows the manure processing material of this invention. It is a perspective view of the cat sand toilet using the manure processing material of this invention.

  The grass in the present invention is used in the form of a powder obtained by pulverizing a piece cut to 10 to 20 mm with a pulverizer. As the grass, the central part of the stem holding a unique light greenish blue color is used as a suitable material. In addition, as a material for the weeds, a powdered body obtained by pulverizing a new piece of a tatami surface generated when making a tatami in the same manner as described above can also be used.

  Although the content rate in the ground mixture of a grass and a wood material is 20 to 90%, a more preferable range is 50 to 80%. If the content is less than 20%, the intended effect cannot be obtained.

  Among the pulverized products of wood, which are used in combination with grass, pulverized products of conifers such as cedar, pine and cypress are particularly preferred from the viewpoint of moldability and deodorizing effect, and are used alone or in combination.

These pulverized products can be obtained by chipping wind fallen trees, thinned materials, construction waste materials, reclaimed wood, etc. with a slicing machine, and sufficiently crushing the timber into chips with a pulverizer. The size of the pulverized product is 0.01 to 1 mm, preferably 0.05 to 0.5 mm.

  The binder, which is the basic composition of the present invention, has a function of adhering the pulverized particles in the granulated product to each other and solidifying them, and is preferably one that disintegrates in water in a short time after use. Suitable examples include corn starch, guar gum, bean gum, sodium alginate, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and the like.

The binder is blended in an amount of 5 to 15 parts by weight, more preferably 8 to 12 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the ground grass or the ground mixture of grass and wood. If the amount is less than 5 parts by weight, the intended granulated product cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the amount exceeds 15 parts by weight, granulation by a granulator can be performed, but gelation of the surface of the granulated product becomes abrupt.

  In addition, moisture, which is another basic composition, is added to facilitate granulation, and the amount of moisture suitable for granulation is determined by holding the ground grass of grass or a ground mixture of grass and wood. The amount that hardens to the extent that it does not collapse is sufficient. Although it varies depending on the state of the pulverized product, it is preferable to blend 15 to 35 parts by weight, more preferably 20 to 30 parts by weight, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the pulverized product.

  Since the citric acid according to claim 3 has a deodorizing effect, it further enhances the effect of deodorizing the urine odor of dogs and cats, and is added to 100 parts by weight of ground grass or ground material of grass and wood. The amount is preferably 0.1 to 1.2 parts by weight, more preferably 0.5 to 1.0 parts by weight. If the amount is less than 0.1 parts by weight, the positive effect of deodorization cannot be obtained. If the amount is more than 1.2 parts by weight, the granulated product becomes hard and unsuitable for use.

  The manure treatment material of the present invention can contain a fragrance, a colorant, a surfactant, a bactericide, and the like as long as the effects of the present invention are not hindered.

  Even if the sewage treatment material of the present invention obtained by using only the pulverized material of grass is mixed with the sewage treatment material using the pulverized material of general-purpose wood, the same effect as the effect of the present invention can be obtained. It is done.

  The mixing ratio of the former and the latter is 80:20 to 20:80 in volume ratio. A more desirable ratio is from 70:30 to 50:50.

Next, a method for producing a manure treatment material of the present invention will be described. Weed mixture of grass or wood and wood mixture, binder, and moisture, and citric acid as necessary with a ribbon mixer or Henschel mixer, etc., are thoroughly stirred and mixed. The target product is obtained by granulating with a (disc pelleter) and drying the resulting granulated product with a vibration dryer.

  The excrement disposal material obtained by the above-mentioned manufacturing method has a particle diameter of 3 to 6 mm, a length of 5 to 15 mm, preferably 5 to 15 mm, and a moisture content of 10 to 15%, preferably Is 10-12%. In particular, if the water content is less than 10%, it absorbs the water content in the air and becomes about 12 to 13%, which makes sense. On the other hand, if it exceeds 15%, the effect of absorbing urine becomes small.

  EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although this invention is demonstrated in more detail by an Example, it cannot be overemphasized that this invention is not limited to these Examples.

    Based on the formulation shown in Table 1, a manure treatment material made only of pulverized grass was produced by the above-mentioned production method to obtain the treatment material having a particle size of 3 mm and a length of 5 to 12 mm.

  1 part of citric acid was added to the formulation shown in Table 1, and a manure treatment material consisting of a pulverized product obtained by mixing pulverized grass and cedar material in a ratio of 50:50 was manufactured by the above-mentioned method. The processing material of 5-12 mm was obtained.

[Comparative Example 1]
In the same manner as in Example 2, 1 part of citric acid was added to produce a manure treatment material consisting only of cedar pulverized material, and the treatment material having a particle diameter of 3 mm and a length of 5 to 12 mm was obtained.

[Comparative Example 2]
Mineral cat sand, which is now widely sold and used, was included in the comparison of the following test.

  Using the feces and urine treatment materials and cat sand obtained in the above Examples and Comparative Examples, the water absorption and deodorant performances were examined by the following test methods. The results are summarized in Table 1.

[Evaluation of water absorption]
A cylindrical container with a diameter of 75 mm and a height of 65 mm is filled with a full (horizontal cut) manure treatment material and cat sand, and 20 g of 36% 3% aqueous ammonia is injected from the surface. One minute after the injection, the weight of the treated material, lump of cat sand and ammonia water and the volume were measured, and the weight of the consumed treated material was measured.

[Evaluation of deodorization]
Break up each lump obtained above and put the whole amount into an Erlenmeyer flask, and seal the mouth with a wrap. The Erlenmeyer flask is heated in a 40 ° C. oven for 4 minutes. Thereafter, a gas detector tube for ammonia (Kitakawa type) was inserted into the wrap, and the concentration of ammonia was measured by sucking the internal gas.
