Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of cat litter, in particular to hydrophilic and lipophilic cat litter particles processed from seed shell charcoal and fruit shell charcoal. Background Art
[0002] Cat litter, as a pet cleaning product, primarily absorbs moisture, odor, and oil from pet excrement. Current mainstream products include bentonite cat litter, tofu litter (plant fiber cat litter), pine wood litter, and charcoal-based cat litter. Traditional bentonite cat litter relies on the physical adsorption of mineral particles. While it has good clumping properties, it causes severe dust pollution and has insufficient oil absorption capacity. Tofu litter, made from soybean dregs and starch, is environmentally friendly and biodegradable, but it easily pulverizes after absorbing water and has poor adsorption properties for grease and oil stains. Charcoal-based cat litter (such as rice husk charcoal and coconut shell charcoal powder) has a naturally porous structure and strong odor absorption capacity, but the raw charcoal powder has two major drawbacks: first, its light texture makes it easily float in the air or adhere to pet hair and floors, causing secondary pollution; second, after absorbing water or oil, it remains loose and cannot automatically clump, requiring repeated cleaning or replacement of the entire pot, making it inconvenient to use. In addition, existing cat litters usually only focus on a single function (hydrophilic or lipophilic), and it is difficult to efficiently treat urine (water-based stains) and sebum secretions and food residues (oily stains) at the same time. As a result, in actual applications, multiple cat litters need to be used in combination, increasing user costs.
[0003] The patent with publication number CN111492986A discloses a hydrophilic modified plant fiber cat litter material and a preparation method thereof, comprising the following steps: (1) pretreatment: crushing the plant fiber substrate, extruding and expanding the crushed plant fiber substrate, and alkalizing it by spraying or soaking it in alkali solution; (2) hydrophilic modification: adding water, an initiator, acrylic acid, and a crosslinking agent to the pretreated plant fiber substrate in sequence under heating and stirring conditions, continuing heating and stirring to react and obtain a reaction product; (3) post-treatment: squeezing and filtering the reaction product to remove excess water, and then drying and crushing it to obtain a hydrophilic modified plant fiber. The present invention hydrophilically modifies the selected plant fiber substrate by physical and chemical methods, thereby improving the water absorption performance of such materials, thereby preparing a new plant fiber cat litter material having better water absorption performance than pea dregs and soybean dregs;
[0004] Publication number: CN112005895A discloses a highly absorbent cat litter, which comprises the following components in parts by weight, mixed and then formed, cooled, crushed, and sieved: 50-80 parts of bagasse-modified highly absorbent resin, 10-20 parts of corn flour, 1-5 parts of natural plant binder, 1-5 parts of silicon dioxide, 2-8 parts of activated carbon, and water, wherein the amount of water accounts for 12-18% of the total mass of the mixed materials; the bagasse-modified highly absorbent resin is synthesized by solution graft polymerization using bagasse, kaolin, and acrylic acid as main raw materials, ammonium persulfate as initiator, and N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide as crosslinking agent after alkaline high-temperature pretreatment of bagasse. The cat litter of the present invention has low dust content, high water absorption performance, can effectively absorb odors, has excellent clumping performance, and has a natural sweet aroma of sugarcane, a pleasant odor, a comfortable feel on the feet, and is natural, environmentally friendly, and safe.
[0005] However, the above-mentioned prior art does not solve the following problems of cat litter:
[0006] Single function: lack of coordinated design of hydrophilic and lipophilic functions, unable to effectively treat both water-based and oily stains;
[0007] Loose structure: The carbon powder does not form an effective particle structure and remains in powder form after adsorption. It is easy to generate dust during cleaning and is difficult to completely remove.
[0008] Adhesion and dispersion problems: The original carbon powder has high surface activity and is easy to adhere to pets and the environment. When it does not absorb liquid, it is easy to spread with the air flow, causing blind spots in cleaning.
[0009] Unreasonable filler ratio: Some improvement plans fail to control the volume ratio of carbon powder to filler, resulting in insufficient carbon powder coverage and a significant decrease in adsorption performance.
[0010] To this end, this case now proposes a method of processing hydrophilic and lipophilic cat litter particles using seed shell charcoal and fruit shell charcoal to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0011] In order to overcome the above problems, the present invention aims to propose a method of processing hydrophilic and lipophilic cat litter particles using seed shell charcoal and fruit shell charcoal, aiming to solve the technical problems of existing cat litter particles such as single functionality, loose structure, easy adhesion and scattering.
[0012] To this end, the specific technical solutions adopted in the present invention are as follows:
[0013] According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a hydrophilic and lipophilic cat litter particle made from seed shell charcoal and fruit shell charcoal, the cat litter particle comprising hydrophilic adsorption particles and lipophilic adsorption particles;
[0014] The essential basic materials of the hydrophilic adsorption particles include, by weight percentage: 9-91.5% seed shell charcoal powder or fruit shell charcoal powder, 6-36% guar gum, 0.5-9% boric acid, and 2-46% water;
[0015] The essential basic materials of the lipophilic adsorption particles include, by weight percentage: 27-85% of seed shell carbon powder or fruit shell carbon powder, 5-31% of polyisobutylene, and 10-42% of white mineral oil;
[0016] The mass ratio of the hydrophilic adsorption particles to the lipophilic adsorption particles is 1:1-5:1;
[0017] The coverage of carbon powder on the surface and inside of the particles is greater than 50%.
[0018] Optionally, the hydrophilic adsorbent particles further include auxiliary materials, and the auxiliary materials are calculated based on 100% weight of the necessary basic materials:
[0019] Polyvinyl alcohol 0-9%, water-absorbing resin 0-9%, surfactant 0-3%, filler 0-450%, preservative 0-3%;
[0020] The filler has a specific gravity greater than that of the carbon powder and a volume less than that of the carbon powder.
[0021] Optionally, the lipophilic adsorbent particles further include auxiliary materials, and the auxiliary materials are calculated based on 100% weight of the necessary basic materials:
[0022] Liquid rubber 0-15%, polystyrene thermoplastic elastomer 0-15%, surfactant 0-3%, filler 0-450%, preservative 0-3%;
[0023] The filler has a specific gravity greater than that of the carbon powder and a volume less than that of the carbon powder.
[0024] Optionally, the seed shell charcoal powder includes one or more of rice husk charcoal powder, wheat husk charcoal powder, and peanut shell charcoal powder; the fruit shell charcoal powder includes one or more of coconut shell charcoal powder, walnut shell charcoal powder, and jujube shell charcoal powder;
[0025] The specific gravity of the carbon powder is 0.1-0.3 g / cm 3 , porosity>75%, with the characteristics of light weight, fast water and oil absorption rate and strong odor gas adsorption capacity.
[0026] Optionally, the filler includes one or more of talc, silicon dioxide, and rice husk powder;
[0027] Among them, the specific gravity of talcum powder is 2.7g / cm 3 , the specific gravity of silicon dioxide is 2.3g / cm 3 , rice husk powder specific gravity 0.4g / cm 3The amount of filler added satisfies: the volume occupied in the particles is less than the volume of carbon powder, and the weight can exceed the weight of carbon powder.
[0028] Optionally, the preparation method of the hydrophilic adsorption particles includes:
[0029] Guar gum and boric acid are dissolved in water to form a binder, which is then mixed with seed shell carbon powder or fruit shell carbon powder to form granules. Granules with a moisture content of ≤10% are obtained after drying. The drying temperature is 70-160° C. for 4-20 minutes, and the granulation temperature is 10-80° C. for 10-30 minutes.
[0030] Optionally, the preparation method of the lipophilic adsorption particles includes:
[0031] Polyisobutylene and white mineral oil are heated to 100-180° C. to form a mixed matrix, which is then mixed with seed shell carbon powder or fruit shell carbon powder to form granules. After cooling, granules with a non-sticky surface are obtained. Liquid rubber or polystyrene thermoplastic elastomer can be added during the granulation process to adjust the toughness.
[0032] Optionally, the cat litter particles have a cross-sectional diameter of 1-5 mm and are spherical or elongated. The carbon powder on the surface forms a porous adsorption layer, and the friction coefficient between the particles is ≥0.4, ensuring that the particles automatically stick together after absorbing water or oil, which is convenient for overall cleaning. The water absorption rate of the hydrophilic adsorption particles is ≥3 times their own weight, and the volume expansion rate after liquid absorption is ≤60%; the oil absorption rate of the lipophilic adsorption particles is ≥3 times their own weight, and the particle structure remains intact after oil absorption without liquid leakage.
[0033] Optionally, the carbon powder itself has insect and bacteria proofing functions, so the preservative is not a necessary added material.
[0034] Compared with the existing technology, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0035] Through the independent formula design of hydrophilic and lipophilic dual particles, directional and efficient adsorption of aqueous liquids (such as urine) and oily liquids (such as sebum and oil stains) is achieved, solving the problem of the single function of existing cat litter.
[0036] By controlling the volume of the carbon powder to be larger than the volume of the filler and the coverage rate to be greater than 50%, the carbon powder is mainly present on the inner and outer surfaces of the particles, giving full play to the high water / oil absorption rate (water absorption rate ≤ 3 seconds / gram, oil absorption rate ≤ 3.2 seconds / gram) and odor gas adsorption capacity of the porous structure of the carbon powder, and the adsorption efficiency is improved compared to traditional carbon powder cat litter.
[0037] Through the bonding effect of the guar gum-boric acid bonding system (hydrophilic particles) and the polyisobutylene-white mineral oil matrix (lipophilic particles), the particles automatically agglomerate after absorbing liquid, making it easy to remove and clean the entire thing, solving the pain point of traditional charcoal powder being loose and difficult to clean.
[0038] Through the particle forming process and the surface carbon powder coating structure, the particles are not easy to float and do not adhere to the skin and floor when no liquid is absorbed, thus avoiding secondary pollution.
[0039] Through the selective addition of auxiliary materials (polyvinyl alcohol, liquid rubber, etc.), the bonding strength, water / oil absorption rate and oil retention stability of the particles can be adjusted as needed. For example, the water absorption rate of highly water-absorbent particles can reach 4.8 times, and the 24-hour oil retention rate of highly oil-retaining particles can reach 98%, meeting the needs of different usage scenarios.
[0040] By utilizing the insect and antibacterial properties of charcoal powder, the addition of preservatives is unnecessary, reducing production costs while avoiding the potential impact of chemical agents on pet health, making the product safer and more environmentally friendly.
[0041] By limiting the filler specific gravity to greater than carbon powder and the volume to less than carbon powder, the effective adsorption area of the carbon powder is not reduced while the weight of the particles is increased, ensuring that the particles are light but not prone to floating, while taking into account both the feel of use and the ease of cleaning.
