Description

Cat litter and preparation method thereof Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cat litter, and in particular relates to cat litter and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cat litter is a highly absorbent material used by cats to bury feces and urine. It's typically used with a litter box. A suitable amount of litter is poured into the litter box, and trained cats will then poop on top of it when they need to defecate. Cat litter is typically made from paper pulp granulated into small particles to simulate sand and improve water absorption. Some types also use granules with physical desiccants like silica gel. Chemicals such as antimicrobials, deodorants, and preservatives are often added. Cat litter clumps when it comes into contact with water, making it easier for owners to clean up cat feces and urine, reducing contamination.

[0003] For example, the millet plant cat litter disclosed in announcement number CN114982646A, although the raw materials used are all plant raw materials, are pollution-free and have no irritating odor, are easily soluble in water, and can be flushed down the toilet; the natural plant enzymes added to the cat litter can instantly decompose the ammonia absorbed by the cat litter; the finished millet plant cat litter prepared by the present invention has a flaky or granular structure and a diameter of less than 3 mm. When a cat steps on it, it feels like natural sand and does not prick its feet. It has been measured that cats are easy to accept and do not require an adaptation period. However, the problems existing in the existing cat litter and its preparation method are not solved: the cat litter is very soft, which reduces the comfort of the cat, and the use of more natural materials increases the production cost. It is inconvenient to detect the pH value of the cat's urine, which makes it impossible to understand the cat's physical health status in a timely manner. For this reason, we propose a cat litter and its preparation method. Summary of the Invention

[0117] Principles and advantages of the present invention:

[0118] The invention makes the raw materials green and healthy by adding bamboo extract, and increases the safety of use. At the same time, the addition of bean dregs powder, sweet potato dregs powder and pine sawdust can not only reduce the material cost, but also increase the softness and strong water absorption. When discarded, it can be directly buried in the ground as soil nutrients. It is environmentally friendly, degradable, safe and pollution-free, and the raw materials are renewable, thereby increasing resource utilization. The cat litter in the invention is made by mixing anthocyanins and other raw materials in proportion, granulating and drying them. By adding anthocyanins, the health of the pet can be judged by the different color changes of anthocyanins to the acidity and alkalinity of the pet's excrement. For example, if the pet eats too much meat, the excrement will be acidic, and the color of anthocyanins will turn red. For example, if the pet eats too much vegetables, the excrement will be alkaline, and the color of anthocyanins will turn green. In severe cases, it will turn yellow. Normal anthocyanins do not change color, and the cat litter can be used with the pet. The pH value of cat excrement is monitored in real time, so that the cat's physical health status can be understood in time. Anthocyanins are first mixed with materials such as pine sawdust and then mixed with bentonite, diatomaceous earth, volcanic rock particles and perlite powder. In particular, the volcanic rock particles have fine gaps. The anthocyanin material mixed with pine sawdust is filled into the gaps of the volcanic rock, which can effectively protect the anthocyanins from being affected by acids and alkalis in the air and extend the service life of the anthocyanins. The addition of diatomaceous earth to the raw materials of the present invention can improve the odor adsorption capacity of the cat litter and effectively improve the deodorization performance of the cat litter. The addition of volcanic rock particles and the mildew resistance of the volcanic rock particles make the cat litter able to inhibit the growth of mold in a humid environment and have high antibacterial properties. In addition, the volcanic rock particles also have high thermal insulation effects, thereby improving the use quality of the cat litter.

[0119] Select the cat litter of traditional technology and the cat litter of the present invention technology to carry out the following experiment, and the experimental content and result are as follows table

[0120] Through various experiments, it can be found that the water absorption, deodorization, antibacterial property, and thermal insulation property of the cat litter prepared in Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, and Example 4 are all improved, and Example 3 is the best example.

[0121] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
