Layered absorbent substrate incorporating activated carbon and superabsorbent materials

A waste disposal substrate comprising:

• (a) at least one layer of fibers,
• (b) at least one layer comprising activated carbon;
• and
• (c) at least one layer comprising superabsorbent particles, wherein:
• the waste disposal substrate comprises from two to eight nonwoven layers,
• the waste disposal substrate comprises (i) at least one layer containing activated carbon in combination with fibers, and (ii) at least one layer containing activated carbon but no fibers,
• at least one layer of the waste disposal substrate contains a mixture of activated carbon and superabsorbent particles, and
• the waste disposal substrate comprises (i) two outermost nonwoven layers, (ii) two nonwoven layers containing activated carbon adjacent to and between the two outermost nonwoven layers, (iii) two layers containing a mixture of activated carbon and superabsorbent particles adjacent to and between the two nonwoven layers containing activated carbon, and (iv) two interior nonwoven layers positioned between the two layers containing a mixture of activated carbon and superabsorbent particles.
