199868 A6 B6 V. Description of the invention (1) The field of the invention {lfr first read the notes on the noodles and then write this page) The present invention relates to animal fecal absorbent and its usage. More specifically, the invention relates to a composition containing water-swellable bentonite such as _. Liying: ¾ (or) y 'one... The water-swellable bentonite of the individual particles can effectively absorb the movement ..-------- The feces at the same time coagulate into a sufficiently large and stable mass, so that the combination of the absorbent absorbent mass can be combined with the non-moistened mass The particles are separated and removed from the mattress box, even after the clay is partially or completely dried, so that it does not stick to the paws or fur of the animal. In another specific form of the present invention, the composition includes a combination of sodium bentonite of about 1 to 50% dry weight of the total clay content and cast bentonite of about 50 to 99% dry weight of the total clay content. . The different particles of the combined bentonite effectively absorb animal feces, while condensing 63L two large and stable masses so that the wetted absorbent combination material mass can be wetted-the i-composition particles are separated and moved It is separated from the mattress box, so it does not stick to the animal's skin or fur. In addition, the combination of sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite makes the agglomerates soaked in feces quickly and suddenly suspended in water so that the agglomerates can be suspended in toilet water without mixing or other mechanical separation steps, or can be used by household Dispose of water lines without blocking toilet or other domestic water lines. Therefore, the odor of the box is reduced or eliminated, so that the uncontaminated contents of the mattress box need not be discarded together with the contaminated waste part from time to time, thereby saving costs. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION AND OLD LAW Animals trained in family life such as Jinru cats are trained to develop the habit of drowning in a designated mattress box. Similarly, untrained cage animals such as guinea pigs drown on the floor of their cages, but they are often in the same position on the floor of the cages. Therefore, the cages are fed by Chu people, homeowners, veterinarians and laboratory personnel. 4 (210X297 public release) 3 A6 B6 199868 V. Description of invention (2) {Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Add absorbent material to the mattress box or cage to collect urine and defecation. After a short period of time, the absorbent soiled with feces emits an unpleasant odor due to the presence of drowning and feces. In order to reduce or eliminate these unpleasant odors, the homeowner regularly removes excreta and body from the mattress pad absorbent. However, physical removal of excreta does not reduce or eliminate the odor caused by urine absorbed in the absorbent. Therefore, when the smell caused by the absorbed urine becomes unbearable, the homeowner completely discards the absorbent matter in the mattress box. Then, the homeowner rinses the cushion box and refills the cushion box with fresh air, cushion box absorbent material. Such actions are not very fast, time-consuming, and expensive. Therefore, the absorbent material of the mattress box is usually a more expensive solid absorbent material so that cleaning the mattress box every time is not particularly an economic burden. However, continuously cleaning the mattress pads during a period of time is a relatively large expense. The most commonly used absorbent material for cushion boxes is low-thin clay, such as calcined clay, which is safe and does not irritate animals and can actually absorb the amount of liquid. Other porous solid mattress absorption materials can be used alone or in combination, including straw, silver shavings, wood chips, wood shavings, porous polymer beads, shredded paper, sand, bark, cloth, ground corn bract leaves, Cellulose and water-insoluble organic salts such as calcium sulfate. Each of these absorbent materials has the advantage of low cost, but each has the disadvantage of absorbing only one liquid waste product and holding the product in its porous structure, or absorbing liquid feces on the surface when it is sand . For each absorbent substance, the unpleasant odor is ultimately caused by the absorbed urine, so the entire contents of the mattress box, including contaminated absorbent and uncontaminated absorbent, must be discarded. Roman's US Patent No. 4,570,573 discloses such a cushion box suction 4 (210X297 public issue) 4 A6 B6 199868 V. Release notes (3) Receiving substances. The subject matter of the Roman patent is a paper comprising about 60 to 94% by weight, about 1% to 35% calcium sulfate and about 3 to 12% water. This absorbent effectively collects animal feces, but does not reduce or eliminate the generation of unpleasant odors or the disadvantage of regularly replacing the entire contents of the mattress box. Larson et al. Disclose in US Patent No. 4,315,761 the use of aerated foamed concrete of larger size, such as up to 10 mm, to absorb animal feces and facilitate the removal of excreta from the mattress box. The aerated concrete only absorbs animal feces, so it has the same defects as the animal mattress box compounds today, and it is not easy to separate the contaminated absorbent particles from the uncontaminated absorbent particles without removing and cleaning the entire cushion box . Shi Duhua disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,685,420 an improved mattress pad absorbent composition comprising 0.01% to 5.0% by weight of a combination of water-absorbing polyacrylate and a commonly used mattress pad absorbent substance. According to Stewart's method and composition, the polyacrylate and absorbent substance absorb urine or similar waste, and the polyacrylate acts to coagulate the absorbent material of the soiled mattress box into a glued product. Shi Duhua's show is that the glued absorbent material can be physically removed from the mattress box to reduce the generation of unpleasant odors and to avoid discarding the uncontaminated parts of the absorbent material. However, Stewart's methods and compositions have the disadvantage of relatively low cost benefits. The commonly used mattress cushion absorbent materials are extremely cheap materials, while Stewart's water-absorbing polymers are more expensive products, which can increase the initial cost of mattress cushion absorbent materials to a very cost competitive. Unacceptable levels in the market.

These properties of these water-swellable bentonites can be used to reduce or eliminate mattresses that are saturated with urine The odor generated by the box absorbent; reduce the cost of using the mattress pad absorbent, because only the dirty absorbent is lost; reduce the need to complete the cleaning of the mattress pad or the animal The number of cages; the formed condensate can be disposed of regularly through domestic water pipes and each condensate is not adhered to its outer surface so that the clay does not substantially adhere to the paws or fur of animals. In addition, the water-swellable bentonite of the present invention provides this To save costs and work benefits without adding expensive supplementary compounds such as water-absorbing polymers, acids or other organic compound additives, which results in a substantial increase in the cost of products competing in a highly cost-conscious market. According to an important feature of the invention The non-compact water-eye bentonite provides an improved animal cushion absorbent composition. The water-swellable bentonite of the present invention absorbs several times its own weight of water, such as urine, and thus swells.

When the bentonite particles are dry, there is no chemical and physical interaction that agglomerates the wetted bentonite particles. Therefore, it is convenient to separate the wetted and expanded bentonite particles from the unwetted and unexpanded bentonite particles. In practice, when the animal is drowning on the mattress pad absorbent of the present invention, the urine is absorbed by the water-swellable bentonite to form a cohesion of water-swellable bentonite and urine with a dry and non-sticky (non-waterfall) feeling. Mass. The sufficient physical integrity of the condensed mass can be removed from the mattress box by the tools and methods commonly used to remove excreta from the mattress box, so it is not easy to stick the animal's feet or fur. Therefore, the mattress box absorbent composition of the present invention allows animal breeders or caretakers to use the same removal technique used to remove excreta from the mattress box to move urine from the mattress box. Prior to the method and composition of the present invention, it was impossible to mechanically use only one or more expansive clays as absorbents to remove urine from the mattress box * because the particles impregnated with urine could not be contaminated with the mattress box. Absorbent separation. According to an important feature of the present invention, the water-swellable bentonite absorbent remaining in the mattress box after removing the urine-impregnated and bentonite can be retained for later use. This part of the mattress pad absorbent composition is still clean and usable, so no harmful odor is generated. Conversely, when using an old mattress pad absorbent, these clean and available absorbent substances must never be present to effectively remove the contaminated absorbent from the fresh absorbent. For example, the figure shows a mattress box 10 including an impervious floor member 12 having a plurality of integral impervious upright walls 14. The uncontaminated absorbent composition 16 is placed in the mattress box 10, and in a specific form contains a dense water-swellable bentonite or a combination of sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite. In the second (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) • Strategy · • Play * • sl · A 4 (210X297 corner) 1 2 A6 B6 199868 V. Description of the invention (11) (please read "Reading Note the old matters before filling this page) In the specific form, the combined water-swellable clay includes sodium bentonite, which is preferably not dense but accounts for 1% to 50% of the total dry clay weight of the absorbent composition, and dense or Calcium bentonite that is not dense and accounts for about 50% to 99% of the total dry clay weight of the absorbent composition. Solid animal feces 18 Like if the excrement has sufficient quality and sufficient cohesive strength, it can be physically removed from the mattress box for Final disposal. Liquid animal feces such as urine, vomit, or blood contact the absorbent water-swellable bentonite composition 16 to condense the water-swellable bentonite into a contaminated solid 20 of sufficient size and sufficient cohesive strength to allow the contaminated solid 20 The entity removes the remaining uncontaminated absorbent composition 16. The remaining uncontaminated absorbent composition 16 does not produce harmful odors, so it can be retained in the mattress box 10 for later use. The contaminated solid 20 is discarded in an appropriate manner, and it is not necessary to clean the entire cushion box 10 and discard all of its contents. In a second specific form, the combination of sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite contained in each agglomerate hangs accidentally when exposed to water, so that each agglomerate can be disposed of in a domestic toilet or sewage tank without blocking the domestic water pipeline. Therefore, according to another important feature of the present invention, the cost savings provided by each water-swellable bentonite clay exceeds that of the conventional mattress cushion. First, because the contaminated and used absorbent composition is not discarded together with the contaminated absorbent composition, cost savings are achieved. Second, surprisingly: each water-swellable bentonite provides these cost-saving benefits without increasing the costly polymerizable or organic compounds that compel the absorbent particles to form removable physical masses. Therefore, the use of the water-swellable bentonite of the present invention can reduce the raw material cost of the cushion box absorbent composition in a cost competitive market. The mattress pad absorbent composition of the present invention is a dense water-swellable bentonite in a specific form; and a combined type 1 3 A 4 (210X297 male) in a second specific form

19986S A6 B6 V. Description of the invention (12) Sodium and calcium bentonite. Bentonite is a component generally known to be used in various applications, such as drilling mud. Bentonite is an economic clay that can be obtained quickly, some of which can hydrate and expand when water is present. The swelling properties of bentonite are related to the exchangeable cations present in a particular bentonite ore. Water-swellable bentonite contains various exchangeable cations including sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, calcium and magnesium. Although any of these cations may be the main exchangeable cation of bentonite of the present invention, bentonite often includes various exchangeable cations. The non-compacting water-swellable bentonite that can be used in the animal fecal absorbent composition of the first specific form of the present invention includes any uncompacted particles with a particle size of about 50 microns to 3350 microns and preferably about 600 to 3350 microns. Pressure is water-swellable bentonite that compresses two or more smaller particles into a larger cohesive particle) and hydrates in the presence of water, for example, swells in the presence of water. The non-compacted bentonite may be any member of the double octahedral or trioctahedral distance group or a mixed type thereof. Examples include microcrystalline kaolin, beidellite, wollastonite, hectorite, and self-stone, or various combinations thereof. The non-compact bentonite of the present invention may also include American clay or sepiolite. , ---_____ ^ '' η m principle The combinable clay has the main exchangeable cations such as sodium and calcium, although these clays often include various other exchangeable cations in relatively small amounts. The remaining bentonite, which mainly contains other exchangeable cations, can also be added, as long as sodium bentonite (preferably not dense) accounts for about 1% to 50% of the total dry weight of the bentonite in the composition and bromine bentonite accounts for about the total dry weight of the bentonite in the composition 50% to 90% of the weight. The particle size of the combination of sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite is about 50 micrometers to 3 350 micrometers, and preferably about 600 micrometers to 3 350 micrometers for the best coagulation and the most effective removal of the bed mattress. Bentonite can be any one of the double octahedral or three octahedral running group of rare sweets and yijia 4 (210X297 father not) 1 4 {please read "Precautions for back reading before filling.« 本 Ϊ ) 199868 A6 B6 V. Description of the invention (13) Mixed type ○ Examples include microcrystalline kaolinite &gt; wollastonite, hectorite, and gangue 3 or various combinations thereof. The present invention rv *? / Bentonite may also include American clay Or sepiolite. This is the full advantage of the invention. Regardless of the specific form of water-swellable bentonite used in the cushion box absorbent composition, the bentonite is preferably uncalcined ΠΠλ. Calcined bentonite — Some hydroxyl groups lose 9 and the water absorption and water swellability of bentonite related to these groups are 0. Therefore, although calcined bentonite can still absorb more than twice its weight of liquid 9 but may not be as good as uncalcined / χΤ3 bentonite particles As effective as film swelling and adjacent Wetted calcined bentonite particles agglomerate. According to the present invention-another in the form of JUh body-* important features 9-* water-swellable bentonite that can be used in the mattress box absorbent composition is about 50 ^ 5 ^ 33 There is a particle size of 50 microns in diameter. 9 The preferred particle size is about 600 microns to 3350 microns; for JtSi. Its particle size is about 6 mesh to 100 arrow holes. 0 It is found that 9 water swelling niy bentonite particle diameter If it is significantly larger than about 3350 microns, if it accounts for an important percentage, such as 10% by weight or more, it will not be able to fully cohesively aggregate and allow the wet aggregated mass to be easily separated from the mattress box. In addition, water-swellable bentonite particles have been found If the diameter is significantly less than 50 microns, if it accounts for — »* m, it will be produced if the portion Μ is, for example, 10% by weight or more—the cushion box absorbent composition is partially dried due to excessive powder, such as about 1 to 24 at room temperature. J. From time to time there is no sufficient Cohesive strength of muddy sticky wet masses is the full advantage of the invention. The water-swellable bentonite should have a particle size in the entire range of about 600 microns to 3350 microns in the composition due to the water swelling of the smaller diameter Bentonite particles such as 50 microns to 600 microns expand when wetted to become larger wet bentonite 4 (210X297 public) 1 5 A6 B6 199868 V. Description of the invention (14) The "bridge" between the particles of bentonite • at 600 The total effect of the main particles in the micrometer to 3350 micrometer range that has not been compacted with smaller particles is to produce a wet mass that is large enough to have excellent physical cohesion strength after partial drying, so it does not stick to On animal paws or fur. The mattress pad absorbent composition of the present invention may consist only of the non-compact water-swellable bentonite in the first specific form; or only the bentonite such as sodium and calcium in the second specific form, thus avoiding any additional compounding process steps . In addition, the mattress cushion absorbent composition of the present invention may optionally include fragrances, deodorants, odor absorbents, antibacterial agents, disinfectants, colorants, and insecticides in an amount sufficient to perform its intended function. Does not reduce the water swelling of clay. The mattress box absorbent composition may also include other commonly used mattress box absorbent pastes such as other types of clay, sand, or cellulose-based substances. However, the amount of any randomly added ingredients must not substantially adversely affect the ability of the water-swellable bentonite to absorb liquid fecal products while condensing into a monolithic mass with sufficient size and cohesive strength without causing a wet sticky surface and will be contaminated The wet mass is physically separated from the mattress box. Any optional ingredients and additional absorbents are dry blended into the water-swellable bentonite of the present invention, and the water is available. The clay is present in an amount of at least 65% by weight of the composition, and is the full advantage of the invention. The amount of water-swellable clay is at least 90% by weight of the composition. It should be noted that the animal feces absorbent of the present invention can be used in mattress boxes or animal cages, including household pets such as cats, dogs, gerbils, guinea pigs, Rats and hamsters and others; other pets such as rabbits, ferrets and skunks; or laboratory animals such as monkeys, mice, rats, goats, horses, cows and sheep.

19986S V. Description of the invention (1 5) (please read the notes on the back before filling in the Luan book) The water-swellable bentonite is suitable for other uses besides absorbing urine, such as in slaughterhouses and meat packaging; Absorb vomitus or absorb waste in an appropriate area. / Confirm the novel and unexpected result of the first specific form of the present invention 4-4 54 grams (1 pound) of non-compact water-swellable sodium bentonite with a particle size of 600 to 3350 microns is placed inside the plastic mattress box. The mattress box is then used in a house where a family pet is 2 cats. Each cat drowns in the mattress box at regular intervals to cause the water-swellable bentonite of the present invention to condense into a sufficiently large and stable mass for at least daily physical removal, depending on the accumulation of urine in the mattress box And the amount of feces. The unsoiled water-swellable bentonite was kept in the cushion box for later use, and it was found that the cushion box did not produce annoying odor for 14 days. Thereafter, the mattress box was refilled with more non-compacted water-swellable sodium bentonite of the present invention 0. Green. For comparison, the above-mentioned non-compacted sodium bentonite of the present invention was compared with the US case No. 4,657,881 of Clayton et al. Compared with dense clay with a particle size of 710 microns to 4000 microns. The method of making the compacted clay is to compress sodium bentonite into Η-inch ingots in an ingot making machine to compact the clay (as described by Clayton et al.). The compacted ingot is then carefully ground and sieved to remove all particles with a particle size of less than 710 microns and then all particles with a particle size of more than 4 mm. A method has been developed to assess the propensity of a cat mattress to wet the animal after the mattress is wet, and then stick to the paw or fur of the animal. The procedure is to use a 10 ml pipette to inject 5 ml of 1% NaGl at 40 ° C into a tray containing a test pad with a minimum depth of 1 inch. The pipette tip is held steady 1 inch above the mattress when dripping. After the NaCl solution was released into the pan for 10 seconds, place a pre-weighed 4.25 cm Waterman No. 1 filter paper on the wetted area, and place an approximately 4 (210X297 male) 1 7 A6 B6 199868 5 2. Description of the invention (16) A 200-gram weight with a flat surface of 2.5 cm is placed in the center of the filter paper. After 20 seconds, remove the weight and pull the filter paper from the tray. Record if wet clay sticks to the filter paper. And determine the weight of both. Note the shape of the wet clay mass and the tendency of the "crushed and j rather than erected to be clay absorbed" when the NaCl solution is applied.

19986S V. Description of the invention (17) The combination of non-compact water-swellable sodium bentonite with a density of 3350 microns and dense calcium bentonite (25% by weight sodium bentonite and 75% by weight calcium bentonite). Then use the mattress box in a house where a family pet is 2 cats. Each cat drowns in the mattress box at regular intervals to cause the bentonite of the present invention to condense into a sufficiently large and stable mass to be removed at least daily, depending on the accumulation of urine and feces in the mattress box Depending on the amount. Throw each condensate on the water surface of the domestic toilet for 30 seconds or less and completely suspend it in the toilet water to flush into the sewage pipe without blocking the water pipe. The unsoiled water-swellable bentonite was kept in the mattress box for later use, and it was found that the mattress box did not produce annoying odor for 14 days. Thereafter, the mattress box was refilled with more non-compact water-swellable sodium bentonite of the present invention. As the user chooses, the mattress box can be completely cleaned, or, because it does not produce an unpleasant odor, an extra amount of water-swellable bentonite can be added to the remaining small amount of uncontaminated bentonite without having to clean the mattress. box. In contrast, the amount of annoying odors currently produced by animal mattress absorbers is such that the mattress box must be cleaned at least once a week at least once a week. Obviously, the present invention described above can be made into many modifications and variations without violating its spirit and scope, so these limits should only be set by those indicated in the attached application. ................................. ^ · ..................... * t. ............................ ^ .................... ...
