The present invention teaches an absorbent material with powdered activated carbon which is substantially light-colored without using color masking agents or hiding. This invention addresses the need in the field for an absorbent material with improved odor-controlling properties, that maintains such properties for longer periods of time and where the absorbent material maintains a light-colored appearance without the addition of color-masking agents. Suitable methods for creating the absorbent materials include a pan agglomeration process, a high shear agglomeration process, a low shear agglomeration process, a high pressure agglomeration process, a low pressure agglomeration process, a rotary drum agglomeration process, a pan agglomeration process, a roll press compaction process, a pin mixer process, a dry blending process, a spray coating process, an extrusion process, a pelletizing process and a fluid bed process.

1. A mixture of discrete solid particles suitable for use as an animal litter comprising: (a) one or more absorbent materials suitable for use in an animal litter; and(b) activated carbon ranging in size from 75-700 microns in an amount from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight of the mixture;wherein a
1. A mixture of discrete solid particles suitable for use as an animal litter comprising: (a) one or more absorbent materials suitable for use in an animal litter; and(b) activated carbon ranging in size from 75-700 microns in an amount from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight of the mixture;wherein a random and relatively consistent particle distribution of discrete particles of the one or more absorbent materials and discrete particles of the activated carbon exists throughout the mixture and the mixture does not contain any composite particles of the one or more absorbent materials and the activated carbon; andwherein the mixture is substantially free of any color-masking agents; andwherein the mixture has a color change of less than 20% as compared to the one or more absorbent materials. 2. The mixture recited in claim 1, wherein said activated carbon ranging in size from 75-700 microns is present in an amount from 0.5% to 1% by weight of the mixture. 3. The mixture recited in claim 1, wherein said one or more absorbent materials suitable for use in an animal litter ranges in size from 420 to 1680 microns (12 to 40 mesh). 4. The mixture recited in claim 1, wherein the activated carbon ranges in size from 75 to 500 microns. 5. The mixture recited in claim 1, wherein the mixture has a color change of less than 15% as compared to the one or more absorbent materials. 6. The mixture recited in claim 1, wherein the mixture has a color change of less than 10% as compared to the one or more absorbent materials. 7. The mixture recited in claim 1, wherein the activated carbon ranges in size from 75 to 300 microns. 8. The mixture recited in claim 2, wherein the mixture has a color change of less than 15% as compared to the one or more absorbent materials. 9. The mixture according to claim 1, wherein one or more of the absorbent materials is an absorbent clay selected from the group consisting of: bentonites, attapulgite, montmorillonite diatomaceous earth, Georgia White clay, sepiolite, slate, pumice, tobermite, marls, kaolinite, halloysite, smectite, hectorite, Fuller's earth and mixtures thereof. 10. The mixture recited in claim 9, wherein said particles of absorbent clay are about 5000 microns or less. 11. The mixture according to claim 1, wherein one or more of the absorbent materials is a cellulosic material made of plant products or by-products selected from the group consisting of: sawdust, waste-paper, wood, grains, hulls, nut shells, starches, fruit pulps, cotton, vegetables, nuts, trees, grasses, peat, and mixtures or combinations thereof. 12. The mixture recited in claim 11, wherein said particles of cellulosic materials are about 1500 microns or less. 13. The mixture recited in claim 1, further comprising an additive selected from the group consisting of antimicrobials, odor absorbers/inhibitors, binders, fragrances, litter filler materials, health indicating materials, nonstick release agents, superabsorbent materials, and mixtures thereof. 14. The mixture recited in claim 13, wherein said antimicrobial active is selected from the group consisting of boron containing compounds such as borax pentahydrate, borax decahydrate, boric acid, polyborate, tetraboric acid, sodium metaborate anhydrous, boron components of polymers, and mixtures thereof. 15. The mixture recited in claim 1, wherein the mixture has a colorimetric rating of at least 55% white. 16. The mixture recited in claim 1, wherein the mixture has a colorimetric rating of at least 60% white. 17. The mixture recited in claim 2, wherein the mixture has a colorimetric rating of at least 55% white. 18. The mixture recited in claim 2, wherein the mixture has a colorimetric rating of at least 60% white.
