Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water absorbing agent and a portable waste disposal tool using the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it has been known to use wood-based powder such as sawdust as a water-absorbing agent in treating waste such as vomit and excrement.

Although woody powders such as sawdust have water absorbency, the required water absorption ability cannot be expected by itself, so that sawdust contains a highly water-absorbent resin (for example, polyacrylate). A water-absorbing compression-molded article has been proposed which supplements the water supply performance by means of a water-absorbing compression-molded article (JP-A-5-317705).

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is as follows.
Another object of the present invention is to improve the water absorption and oil absorption performance of the water absorbing agent as described above by improving the capacity of sawdust itself.

[0005] Secondly, even if a water-absorbing agent utilizing sawdust is visually appealing and has a high commercial value, while ensuring water absorption and oil absorption performance.

A third object of the present invention is to provide a portable waste disposal tool which is excellent in portability, is simple, can reduce discomfort, and can perform sanitary treatment. That is, the conventional waste treatment using sawdust is a post-treatment treatment of dispersing sawdust and the like in the treatment of waste discharged into a car, a platform, a road, a public building, or the like, which is annoying to the public. It is intended to improve the processing so that it can be processed easily.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present inventor has investigated the causes of the lower water absorption and oil absorption performance of conventional sawdust than expected, and as a result, it was found that the powder was powdered, and the raw material (wood) conduit,
It was found that this was caused by the low survival rate of the phlebotomy. Further, since the conduit and the pipe have a deodorizing function, that is, a function of adsorbing odor, if the residual rate is low, the deodorizing effect is also reduced.

Therefore, the above-mentioned points have been improved and the following invention has been established.

A first invention is a water absorbing agent containing granular sawdust and powder or granules of a highly water-absorbent resin.

By cutting the wood finely by inserting a cutting blade in the direction intersecting with the conduit and the phloem, the residual ratio of the conduit and the phloem is high, and granular sawdust that hardly crushes the conduit and the phloem is produced. Can be Since conduits and pipes have water absorption, oil absorption, and deodorizing functions, a mixture of granular sawdust with a high residual ratio of the pipes and pipes and a highly water-absorbent resin (powder or granules) absorbs water and oil from the water-absorbing agent. The performance and deodorizing function can be improved as compared with the conventional case.

The high water-absorbing resin preferably has a high water-absorbing performance, a high water-absorbing speed, and a self-expansion (volume increase) due to water absorption. In particular, the superabsorbent resin has the property of becoming jelly-like and expanding in volume due to water absorption. Reduce discomfort.

The second invention is a water-absorbing agent containing sawdust that is granular and colored with a dye, and powder or granules of a highly water-absorbent resin.

If the granular sawdust is colored with a dye, it does not impair the water absorption, oil absorption, and deodorization functions of the conduit and pipe. Other colorants (pigments, paints) crush (block) conduits and phloems.

[0014] When the granular sawdust is colored with a dye, the sawdust is vivid and the appearance does not give the impression of sawdust, thereby increasing the commercial value. Further, since the color covers the waste, the discomfort of the waste disposal is further reduced.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a synthetic resin bag provided with a sealing member for sealing an opening so as to be openable and closable. ) To form a portable waste disposal tool.

According to the present invention, before use, the water-absorbing agent (mainly composed of sawdust and high water-absorbing resin) is sealed in a bag made of synthetic resin. Even if it is a fixed form, portability is maintained. Therefore, for example, when nausea occurs in a car or the like, if the bag is opened on the spot and exhaled into the bag, the water-absorbing agent absorbs moisture to the vomit and entangles, causing discomfort in the bag. Vomites can be processed easily while reducing the amount of vomit. In addition, since the moisture of filth such as vomit is absorbed, it can be prevented from leaking out of the bag, and can be easily sealed, so that it is sanitary. After use, the bags can be disposed of as burnable garbage and can be discarded in the garbage can.

[0017]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1A is an enlarged view showing a part of a water-absorbing agent according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1B is an enlarged explanatory view after absorbing the water-absorbing agent.

As shown in FIG. 1A, the components of the water-absorbing agent 3 of the present embodiment include a granular sawdust 1 and a fine superabsorbent resin 2. In addition, you may mix other adsorbed substances, such as activated carbon, and a fragrance as needed.

The material of the sawdust 1 is, for example, wood such as cedar and cypress. Among them, cedar wood is excellent in water absorption, oil absorption, and deodorization, and has its own peculiar wood scent, and has an effect of eliminating the smell of filth.

The sawdust 1 is made as follows. First, by cutting a piece of wood with a cutting blade in a direction intersecting with the conduit and the phloem, and finely shaving the wood, fine granular sawdust that does not crush the conduit and the phloem is produced. This sawdust is, for example, a granule having one side of about 0.3 to 3.0 mm per grain, and is sieved and collected after cutting. In addition, the sawdust may have a maximum of about 5.0 mm on one side, but the optimum is 2-3 mm. The reason is that the condition that the particles are small to some extent and the surface area of the entire absorbent is sufficiently ensured and the residual ratio of the conduit and the phloem is increased can be compatible. Therefore, in this example, 3.0 mm is used. It was set so that up to the granular sawdust could be collected by the sieve.

After the high-temperature sterilization treatment, coloring is performed with a dye, and a drying treatment step is performed to reduce the water content to 20% or less.

The superabsorbent resin 2 is, for example, a crosslinked product of polyacrylate, which is excellent in water absorption and water absorption rate, and has a large self-expanding property (swelling property) due to water absorption. Has a water absorption capacity of 400 to 12
It is a spherical shape of 00 times. The mixing ratio is set to 6 parts by weight of sawdust to superabsorbent resin, but this numerical value can be set arbitrarily.

After a few minutes, the water-absorbing agent 3 self-expands as shown in FIG.
Jelly-like. Thereby, for example, when used in the treatment of filth such as vomit, the water-absorbing agent absorbs the moisture of the filth, and most of the water-absorbing agent sticks to the filth in a jelly-like lump, and the volume expansion of the super absorbent polymer Covers up dirt because the volume of the entire superabsorbent resin increases.

Furthermore, the sawdust 1 also leaves many of the plant conduits and phloem tubes having water absorption, oil absorption, and deodorizing functions without crushing, so that the water absorption and oil absorption performance of the water absorbing agent 3 can be improved as compared with the conventional one. it can. In addition, the odor components are adsorbed on the conduit and the pipe, thereby exhibiting a deodorizing effect.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a portable waste disposal tool using the water absorbing agent 3, and FIG.
(B) is a side view.

In this embodiment, for example, a plastic bag is used as the synthetic resin bag 4, and a sealing member 5 for opening and closing the opening is provided at the upper part. The sealing device 5 is a simple vinyl chuck utilizing the concave and convex engagement of concave and convex.

In the bag 4, a space for accommodating filth is secured, and the above-mentioned water-absorbing agent 3 is kept in a granular form. The bag 4 is preferably non-transparent in terms of waste disposal.

The bag 4 has portability and is formed so as to be suitable for disposal of, for example, sickness such as sickness in a car. For example, a handle 6 is formed between the sealing member 5 of the bag 4 and the opening to form an elliptical hole through which a finger is formed to facilitate holding the bag 4.

When the bag 4 has a flat bottom, the superabsorbent resin tends to be biased toward the four corners of the bottom due to the specific gravity, and the bag is shaken to evenly mix the superabsorbent resin and the sawdust. Even if an attempt is made to do so, since the objects at the four corners are likely to stay at the positions, a bag without a bottom spread that does not cause such a problem is preferable.

According to the present embodiment, if filth such as vomit is directly discharged or discharged into the bag 4, the moisture of the filth is absorbed in the bag, thereby preventing the leakage of water. Can dispose of garbage in the bag by covering it, so that it does not bother the public or cause discomfort. Sanitary waste disposal can be realized. Furthermore, the effect of deodorizing (adsorbing odor) sawdust and the effect of eliminating the smell of filth by the scent can be expected.

[0032]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a water absorbing agent utilizing sawdust is improved by improving the characteristics of the sawdust itself to absorb water.
Oil absorption and deodorization performance can be improved.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, by applying a dye to the granular sawdust, it is possible to provide a water-absorbing agent having a good visual appearance without impairing the water absorption, oil absorption and deodorizing ability, and to enhance the commercial value. .

According to the third invention, while having portability,
It is simple, does not cause discomfort, and can realize sanitary waste disposal.
