Definitions
- the invention relates to a sorbent containing three different clay materials, a process for the preparation of this sorbent and the use of the sorbent as lumps forming animal litter.
- sorbents are suitable for holding any liquids; They are particularly suitable as a scattering agent for pets, which is why the following
- litter materials Especially in urban settings, pet ownership is increasingly associated with the use of litter materials. These have the task of absorbing the fluids released by the animals. They should also extract moisture from the semi-solid, moist animal excreta and excretions to reduce odor. Good litter materials continue to absorb the discharged or extracted liquids to form a compact lump, which can be removed in a simple and economical manner. Optimal litter should thus have a high rate of absorbency and fully absorb the fluids emitted by the animals within the bed without wetting the bottom of the freezer.
- the litter materials found on the market are both organic materials such as straw, sawdust, wood shavings, bark, shredded paper, cellulosic fibers, agricultural wastes, as well as various inorganic materials which are used alone or in mixtures with said organic materials.
- organic materials such as straw, sawdust, wood shavings, bark, shredded paper, cellulosic fibers, agricultural wastes, as well as various inorganic materials which are used alone or in mixtures with said organic materials.
- the disadvantage of the organic litter materials is the often absent or unsatisfactory lump formation or their consistency and their tendency to microbial decomposition, in particular in interaction with moisture.
- inorganic materials are mainly clay minerals, in particular
- Phyllosilicates used.
- a special feature of some phyllosilicates is the ability to absorb and store high amounts of moisture. In general, which are based on clay very well suited for the
- the invention relates in a first aspect to a method for producing a
- a granular sorbent comprising the steps of: a) providing a first particulate clay material (A) with a
- Grain size between about 0.5 and about 4.75 mm, wherein the clay material is prepared by breaking and subsequent size fractionation; b) providing a second clay material (B) in particle form with a
- Particle size between about 0.5 and about 5.0 mm, wherein the clay material was prepared by breaking and then size fractionating, and wherein the clay material was activated with an acid or an alkali metal salt, especially soda; c) providing a third clay material (C) in particle form with a
- Particle size from about 0.1 to about 3.5 mm, wherein the clay material is a round granules produced in a Granuliermischer, and wherein the clay material with an acid or a Alkali metal salt, in particular soda, was activated (granule particles C);
- the sorbent comprises about 40 to 60 parts by weight of the clay material (A), about 30 to 50 parts by weight of the clay material (B) and about 5 to 20 parts by weight of the clay material (C) contains.
- the clay material (A) exists as separate granules particles (A), the clay material (B) as separate granules particles (B), and the clay material (C) as separate granules Particles (C).
- the particles of the clay materials (A), (B) and (C) thus remain after mixing in step d) as separate particles in the mixture.
- step d) of the process according to the invention After mixing (step d) of the process according to the invention), the granules particles (A), the granules particles (B) and the granules particles (C) in the finished sorbent are present side by side in the granule mixture.
- Sorbent This is a significant difference from prior art sorbents in which various starting materials are blended and then formed into granules of equal composition.
- the absorbency of the differs
- the clay material (B) and / or the clay material (C) is not activated with an acid or an alkali metal salt.
- the clay material (B) has a higher absorbency than the clay material (A), preferably at least 10%, in particular at least 20% higher absorbency than the clay material (A).
- the clay material (C) has a higher absorbency than the clay material (B), preferably at least 10%, in particular at least 20% or even at least 30% higher absorbency than the clay material (B).
- the clay material (C) is not activated with an acid or an alkali metal salt, but nevertheless has a higher absorbency than the clay material (B). preferably at least 10%, in particular at least 20% higher
