Patent ID: 7905987

Claim:
A process for making a fiber product utilizing a mechanical mixer, comprising: a) providing fiber from paper sludge derived from at least a portion of one of virgin wood pulp and secondary fiber, wherein said sludge further comprises at least one of an inorganic filler, a kaolin clay, and a calcium carbonate; b) combining an antibacterial agent, wherein said agent includes materials having a high pH level and that are non-toxic; c) combining the materials in steps a) and b) with a first desiccant including at least one of coal ash and bottom ash, wherein the coal ash includes coal by-product from coal combustion and wherein the bottom ash is derived from one or more materials from a group consisting of straw, peat, wood, trash, and paper; d) mixing the mixture of step c) with the mechanical mixer without applying an active heating, wherein the active heating is defined as heating generated mechanically by at least one of blowers and/or fans, electromagnetic dissipation, wherein the electromagnetic dissipation is at least one of man-made electronic systems, gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light, radar, microwaves, and all electronic transmission systems, mechanical dissipation, by other man-made mechanical heat-generation process, or heating by an oil, coal and petroleum, and thereby forming a waste fiber product; during the mixing process drying the mixture by a combination of exposing the mixture to methane based drying, solar rays from the sun and gravity, wherein the mixture is at least partially dried from falling from one location to another location; e) producing an exothermic reaction as a result of the mixture of the combination of the materials in steps a), b), and c); f) combining the mixture with a second desiccant comprising at least one of sawdust, straw, peat moss, wood shavings, rice hulls, sugar cane, at least a portion of cardboard, diatomaceous earth, corn, sand, gypsum, and cotton seed hulls; g) producing, using the mixture produced by the non-active heating process and the drying mixture process, a fiber product having particles that are soft and pliable in accordance with a moisture level of the particles; h) combining with the mixture at least one of an odor enhancing agent, odor neutralizing agent, odor reducing agent and an odor concealing chemical agent, and color agent.
