Description

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to cat litter,

The present invention relates to a method for producing cat litter, and more particularly, to a method for producing cat litter by absorbing and coagulating secretions such as large and urine generated in a cat raised in a pet, (NH ₃ , ammonia), which is a cause of stench caused by large and urine, and adsorbs odor. At the same time, the function of antibacterial, anion and far infrared rays due to the characteristics of minerals used as main raw materials And to a manufacturing method for producing the same.

In general, human beings are living, and food, clothing and shelter are basic essential elements. They are urbanized due to the development of industry and civilization, and live in an artificial environment away from nature. In the urbanized artificial environment, human instinct is environmentally friendly And the desire to return to nature in the nature is desperate, and the social contradiction due to economic development such as nuclear family, depression due to loneliness and loneliness due to aging, is getting more and more intense.

In the past, dogs and cats were raised for sale, and we were set up in a certain place outside the area without breeding in the indoor space. However, modern society changed the perception of pets including dogs and cats, Especially, the pet animals such as dogs and cats are expanding the means of acquiring familiarity between nature and animals in urban areas, knowing nature through sympathy, and improving the quality of life, and animal lovers and maniacs The demand for pets is gradually increasing.

Currently, pets are being raised in ordinary households. In particular, cats tend to be family members and the role of life companions beyond the concept of animals.

In order to raise cats, home, food, and other tools are required as well as people. Foods and Animals In our case, various types of feeds and we are widely used according to the characteristics of animals.

Since the cats are regarded as a family member and they are treated as companions living together, various items have been developed and used in various ways, and the concept of animals is not simply a means of securing a bed, but a means of sleeping, To accommodate the clean environment, various facilities such as toilet space, feed space, and dragonfly space are constructed.

In particular, in the case of cats, sand (so-called cat sand) is indispensably necessary because it differs from other pets in that the urine absorbs the toilet in the sand. .

For this purpose, cat sands and toilet articles have been developed and used in various ways. Cat sands are classified into absorbable sand and coagulated sand depending on the usage method.

The absorption type sand is a product having a function of absorbing urine of a cat, especially urine. It is made of silica (SiO 2 .2H 2 O) used as a desiccant, or absorbed by using paper grains such as sand or corn, Sand is a typical example, and coagulated sand is sand that is made by disrupting sodium bentonite collected from a mine.

The sodium-based bentonite is available in some countries around the world, has limited reserves, and only calcium-based bentonite is available in Korea.

As described above, the absorption type sand using silica or paper and grain is excellent in water absorbability, so that the urine absorbing ability of the cat is excellent, but the coagulation power is hardly accumulated, so that it does not aggregate in a solid form and the deodorizing function against the ammonia odor remarkably drops In particular, silica sand contains ingredients harmful to humans and the environment, and thus has a problem of providing cause of diseases such as eye diseases and skin diseases.

In addition, in the case of using sand or paper using sand, it is inconvenient to supply shortage of grain and post-treatment process, and it provides a cause of environmental destruction such as deforestation for obtaining paper, and when reusing a poor paper material The harmful components contained in the paper regeneration process create an environment that is bad for cats as well as the human body.

The coagulated sand using sodium bentonite is excellent in the coagulation power and is most widely used. However, since it is crushed into a small particle state by taking minerals, the dust is very likely to be generated by the dust, Because it is formed sharply, the cat has a closed end which is injured by stimulation when skin contact is used in the process of using for the toilet.

Especially, 99% of the products that are distributed in Korea with coagulant sand are imported from China or USA, and thus they are not contributing to domestic industry development.

As mentioned above, cats are members of the family and act as companions, but because they are low in intelligence and live faithfully to the animal's instincts, they become infected with animal-specific bacteria and odors, Odor is generated and the secretion can not be treated by itself, so that when it is raised indoors, various odors are generated, and clean sanitary control can not be achieved.

The conventional pet sand is used for simply dividing the floor and concealing the excrement. If there is no function, and if it is used for a long time, fine particles are generated due to drying, and it is a main cause In addition, there is a great demand for deodorization of odor in the state that the damage caused by dust is large, and there is almost no deodorizing function against the feces odor, and thus the foul odor generated in the feces is defenseless.

Conventional cat sands as described above are desired to be extracted by 10-2010-7012940 (animal litter sands, hereinafter referred to as "prior patent"), and the prior patent discloses animal litter sands comprising a plurality of granular materials, Each of the granular materials includes a group of particles made of an inorganic porous material, a silica gel, and a particle group and an inorganic binder integrally fixing the silica gel. The inorganic binder is cement, a cement, a non- . Wherein the noncementifying agent is at least one selected from the group consisting of zeolite, attapulgite, sepiolite, diatomaceous earth, and diatomaceous shale, and the inorganic porous material is a water-hardenable solidifying agent comprising calcium sulfate and magnesium oxide as main components. Respectively. The cement is a low alkali cement, and the plurality of particulate materials have a content of the inorganic binder of 5 mass% to 30 mass% and a content of the silica gel of 3 mass% to 20 mass%. However, the silicagel (SiO2. 2H2O) used in the above-mentioned prior art is excellent in water absorbency and is used as a moisture-proof and absorbing agent. Although the water absorbing power of pets is excellent, the solidifying power is lowered, And cement used as an inorganic binder contains carcinogens such as asbestos that are harmful to the human body and the environment, and thus has a problem of causing diseases such as eye diseases and skin diseases. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing pet sands using natural materials and a method for producing the same, hereinafter referred to as " pet odor "), patent No. 837528 Referred to as the earlier patent). These prior art patents disclose a deodorant composition comprising 50 to 90% by weight of powdered zeolite, 1 to 5% by weight of food additives and 5 to 35% by weight of bentonite by mixing and kneading, compression, cutting and rolling, The powdered zeolite is mixed with 3 to 5% by weight of pulp, which is a vegetable fibrous agent, as an auxiliary raw material to serve as a filler to bind the zeolite having no viscosity, and the natural spice is mixed at a mixing ratio of 1% Is added. The prior application patents consist of 45% by weight of zeolite and 40% by weight of bentonite, which are the main raw materials in the powder state in constituting the sand used as a bottom material in the process of raising small animals such as cats, hamsters, hedgehogs and rabbits. And 3% by weight of tourmaline. The mixture is kneaded at a ratio of 12% by weight of purified water. The mixed kneaded raw material is rolled to form granules of 0.5 to 1 mm or less, granules of 1 to 3 mm or less, granules of 3 to 7 mm or less . The prior-art patent discloses a process for producing granular sand used as a flooring material for pet comprising zeolite, bentonite, tourmaline, plain wood powder and purified water of natural materials in an amount of 45 wt% of zeolite and 40 wt% of bentonite, 3% by weight of tourmaline, mixing and kneading in a mixer at a ratio of 12% by weight of purified water; Operating cylinder of the mixer; The raw material being discharged and conveyed by the first conveying conveyor; Feeding the transferred raw material to the spinning unit of the rolling unit; The rotation of the rolling part of the rolling part is rolled and formed into a spherical shape; The raw material formed by the rolling of the rolling part is discharged and transferred to the drying part by the second conveying conveyor; Drying the raw material by the hot air heater of the drying unit; Supplying the dried raw material to the sorting portion; Sorting by the first, second, and third sorting members of the sorting unit; Collecting the selected raw materials by respective first, second and third sorting materials; Feeding the selectively collected raw materials to a quantitative feeder; And quantitatively packed by a quantitative feeder.

In general, pet sand, especially sand used as cat sand, is used to break up natural sodiumbentonite into small particles, and has a function of coagulating urine by using sodium-based characteristics. However, since sodium bentonite in a natural state is composed of natural minerals as described above and is environmentally friendly, it is composed of small particles in a crushed state, so that a large amount of dust is generated during use, Since sodium bentonite is not produced domestically but can be produced only in the US and China, more than 99% of the products in circulation depend on imports. Therefore, the price is high and the supply is not smooth. have.
