Abstract
There is disclosed a solid particulate deodorizing additive composition for a water-absorbent animal litter comprising sodium bicarbonate (SBC) or potassium bicarbonate (KBC), the particles of which are substantially coated with a mineral oil, mixed with a powdered siliceous material, e.g., expanded perlite, having a bulk density significantly lower than the density of SBC or KBC, the coated particles of SBC or KBC being stably adhered to and agglomerated with the particles of the siliceous material.

A solid particulate deodorizing additive composition for a water-absorbent animal litter comprising a salt selected from the group consisting of sodium bicarbonate (SBC) and potassium bicarbonate (KBC), the particles of which are substantially coated with a mineral oil, mixed with a powdered siliceous material having a bulk density significantly lower than the density of said salt, said coated particles of said salt being stably adhered t and agglomerated with said particles of siliceous material.
A method of preparing a solid particulate deodorizing additive composition for a water-absorbent animal litter comprising mixing a slat selected from the group consisting of sodium bicarbonate (SBC) and potassium bicarbonate (KBC) with sufficient mineral oil to substantially coat the particles of said salt while maintaining a solid particulate deodorizing consistency, and blending said coated salt with a siliceous material having a bulk density substantially lower than the density of said salt, to produce a solid particulate composition in which said coated salt particles are stably adhered to and agglomerated with the particles said of siliceous material.
