The present disclosure, according to some aspects, relates to methods and systems for deriving odor-absorbing and hygroscopic products from fine crops (eg, photosynthetic aquatic species). More specifically, the present disclosure, in some forms, absorbs products from duckweed, including animal litter, animal bedding, diaper products, spill cleaning products, and any combination thereof. Relating to forming. A method of forming an absorbable product from a fine crop includes: (a) dissolving the fine crop to produce a dissolved fine crop; (b) separating the dissolved fine crop into a solid portion and a juice portion. (C) processing the solid portion to produce an absorbent solid, and / or (d) pellets or granules that can incorporate the absorbent solid into the absorbent product by means of a molding unit. It can include the action of forming into an object. Absorbable products may have odor reducing properties due in part to chlorophyll (eg, from fine crops). |
