[0008] In US Patent No.6228930, US Patent No.4950692, US Patent No.4970267, US Patent No.5064582, US Patent No.5432899, US Patent No.5455284, US Patent No.6867269, US Patent No.4734478 and US Patent No. The method for controlling the particle size proposed in Patent No. 5369148 still provides insufficient control of the particle size, and in addition the addition of a new particle size control step (agglomeration or fines recovery) is not only accompanied by an increase in cost, but also depends on the situation, Provides reduction in properties other than particle size
In addition, in US Patent No.6906159, US-2004-092688A and US-2004-234607A, there is also room for improvement

Embodiment approach

[0041] Coexistence here means that the hydrogel (a) and the hydrogel (b) are present together in the fine granulation device, and suitably, the hydrogel (a) and the hydrogel (b) are together during the fine granulation step The state that exists in a fine-grained device. For example, the following embodiments are included: the hydrogel (a) and the hydrogel (b) are simultaneously started to be loaded into the fine granulation equipment, and the loading is completed at the same time; (a) is mixed with hydrogel (b) and loaded into a fine granulation device. The mixing of hydrogel (a) and hydrogel (b) can be carried out continuously, semi-continuously or in batch mode.

It should be noted that hereinafter, for convenience, "parts by weight" may be abbreviated as "parts", "liter" may be abbreviated as "L", and "milliliter" may be abbreviated as "mL". In addition, "weight%" may be described as "wt.%". In addition, the water-absorbent resin is used (treated) under conditions of 25°C±2°C and a relative humidity of about 50%±5% RH. In addition, as a normal saline solution, a 0.90% by weight sodium chloride aqueous solution was used.

[0155] It should be noted that in the case of analyzing a commercially available product such as a water-absorbent resin in a disposable diaper and when it is in a hygroscopic state, it can be measured after adjusting the water content to about 5% by drying under an appropriate reduced pressure .

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for producing a water absorbent resin particle, in high productivity, not only in a controlled manner of particle size but also enhancing fundamental property (absorption capacity or absorption capacity against pressure) of a water absorbent resin. A method for producing a water absorbent resin particle having the cross-linking polymerization step for an aqueous solution of an unsaturated monomer; the grain refining step for water-swellable, water-containing gel-like cross-linked polymer (a) obtained in the cross-linking polymerization step; the drying step for grain refined gel; and the crushing step for a dried substance, wherein, in the grain refining step for the water-swellable, water-containing gel-like cross-linked polymer (a), water-swellable, water-containing gel-like cross-linked polymer (b), having solid content or centrifuge retention capacity different from solid content or centrifuge retention capacity of the cross-linked polymer (a) by equal to or larger than 1%, is subjected to coexistence.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing a water-absorbent resin, which is a water-swellable cross-linked polymer, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a method for producing a water-absorbent resin having a controlled particle size and a substantially Excellent properties such as absorption rate or extractables. Background technique [0002] Currently, water-absorbing resins (water-absorbing agents) such as cross-linked polymers of polyacrylates are widely used as constituent materials of hygienic articles such as disposable diapers or sanitary napkins, so-called incontinence pads and the like, which are intended to absorb body fluids. [0003] The water-absorbent resin needs to have excellent properties such as excellent fluid absorption capacity or water absorption speed, gel strength, gel fluid permeability in contact with aqueous fluids such as body fluids, etc., or excellent release from aqueous fluid-containing ...
