Basic zinc carbonate-activated carbon deodorant

摘要

A deodorant composition comprises an activated carbon, a binder, an argillaceous material, and a basic zinc carbonate. A deodorant is manufactured by the following steps: (a) a mixing step of the composition materials, (b) a kneading step to knead the mixture, (c) an extrusion to shape the kneaded mixture into a honeycomb structured solid or a powder, and (d) a drying step to remove moisture from the solid. The honeycomb structured deodorant has excellent odor absorption particularly for odors, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides in vehicle exhausts.
