ABSTRACT:
An animal waste liquid absorbent and deodorizing composition for use as an animal litter. It is a mixture of flyash and a particulate flow channeling means particularly cellulosic fibrous material produced by paper-making processes but also including other cellulosic fibers, inorganic particles and powdered agricultural wastes, such as various pulpy materials. The mixture is compressed into pellets having a major dimension greater than the dimension of each particle forming the particulate flow channeling means. The pellets are formed with discrete paths within each pellet. These paths are formed from particles of the particulate flow channeling means which on contact with animal waste liquid permit quick liquid movement between the pellet surface and the interior of the pellet to achieve penetration below the surface of the pellet and simultaneously direct the liquid into effective contact with the flyash substantially throughout the pellet. There results a more rapid deodorization and dehydration of the animal waste liquid.
The method of deodorizing and dehydrating animal waste liquid from excrement and excretion comprising: mixing up to 95 parts of flyash to each part of a particulate liquid flow channeling means for an animal waste liquid; substantially coating the particulate flow channeling means with flyash and compressing the mixture into pellets, each having a major dimension greater than the dimension of each particle forming the particular flow channeling means; forming a plurality of discrete paths within each pellet to permit and promote quick liquid movement between the surface of the pellet and the interior of the pellet; thereafter positioning the pellets to receive animal waste liquid and absorbing the animal waste liquid by capillary action through paths below the surface of the pellet and into effective contact with the flyash within the pellet to deodorize and dehydrate the animal waste liquid.
