Abstract

A water absorption treatment material absorbs a liquid containing a malodorous substance, and includes a first grain and a second grain. The first grain consists essentially of a porous material having an action of deodorizing the malodorous substance. The second grain contains a water-absorptive material other than the porous material as its main material.

Claims (45)

1. A water absorption treatment material that absorbs a liquid containing a malodorous substance, the water absorption treatment material comprising:

a plurality of a first grain that consists essentially of a porous material having an action of deodorizing the malodorous substance, the porous material being activated charcoal; and

a plurality of a second grain that contains a water-absorptive material other than the porous material as a main material,

wherein the plurality of the first grain constitutes 30% or more and 70% or less of a total amount of grains in the water absorption treatment material.

2. The water absorption treatment material according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second grain does not contain the porous material.

3. The water absorption treatment material according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first grain collapses when absorbing the liquid.

4. The water absorption treatment material according to claim 1 , wherein

the first grain includes a first core portion in a granular shape,

the second grain includes

a second core portion in a granular shape, and

a coating portion that contains an adhesive material and covers the second core portion, and

in the first grain, the first core portion is uncovered.

5. The water absorption treatment material according to claim 4 ,

wherein a particle diameter of the second core portion is the same as a particle diameter of the first core portion.

6. The water absorption treatment material according to claim 4 ,

wherein a particle diameter of the second core portion is different from a particle diameter of the first core portion.

7. The water absorption treatment material according to claim 4 ,

wherein the adhesive material is a water-absorbent polymer.

8. A method for manufacturing a water absorption treatment material that absorbs a liquid containing a malodorous substance, the method comprising:

a first grain forming step of forming a plurality of a first grain that consists essentially of a porous material having an action of deodorizing the malodorous substance, the porous material being activated charcoal; and

a second grain forming step of forming a plurality of a second grain that contains a water-absorptive material other than the porous material as a main material,

wherein the plurality of the first grain constitutes 30% or more and 70% or less of a total amount of grains in the water absorption treatment material.

9. The method for manufacturing a water absorption treatment material according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a mixing step of mixing the plurality of the first grain and the plurality of the second grain.

10. The method for manufacturing a water absorption treatment material according to claim 8 ,

wherein in the second grain forming step, the second grain that does not contain the porous material is formed.

11. The method for manufacturing a water absorption treatment material according to claim 8 ,

wherein in the first grain forming step, the first grain that collapses when absorbing the liquid is formed.

12. The method for manufacturing a water absorption treatment material according to claim 8 ,

wherein the first grain forming step includes a first core portion forming step of forming a first core portion in a granular shape,

the second grain forming step includes a second core portion forming step of forming a second core portion in a granular shape, and a coating portion forming step of forming a coating portion that contains an adhesive material and covers the second core portion, and

in the first grain forming step, the first grain in which the first core portion is uncovered is formed.

13. The method for manufacturing a water absorption treatment material according to claim 12 ,

wherein in the second core portion forming step, the second core portion is formed such that a particle diameter of the second core portion is the same as a particle diameter of the first core portion.

14. The method for manufacturing a water absorption treatment material according to claim 12 ,

wherein in the second core portion forming step, the second core portion is formed such that a particle diameter of the second core portion is different from a particle diameter of the first core portion.

15. The water absorption treatment material according to claim 1 ,

wherein the water-absorptive material is paper or bean curd lees.

16. The method for manufacturing a water absorption treatment material according to claim 8 ,

wherein the water-absorptive material is paper or bean curd lees.

17. The water absorption treatment material according to claim 1 , consisting of the plurality of the first grain and the plurality of the second grain.

18. The water absorption treatment material according to claim 17 ,

wherein the water-absorptive material is paper or bean curd lees.
