摘要:
The invention relates to a method for producing low-odor, hydrogel-forming polymers based on acrylic acid. Said method comprises the following steps: a) a polymeric hydrogel is produced by radically polymerizing a monomer composition containing at least 50 percent by weight of acrylic acid in an aqueous polymerizing medium, and the hydrogel is transformed into a particle-shaped hydrogel or a powder forming a hydrogel; and optionally b) the particle-shaped hydrogel or the powder forming a hydrogel is treated with a crosslinking substance comprising at least two functional groups that are reactive towards the carboxyl groups of the polymer, optionally in a latent form. The inventive method is characterized by the fact that the acrylic acid used in step a) comprises a total amount of oligomers of less than 500 ppm, preferably no more than 400 ppm, and especially no more than 300 ppm, ppm referring to proportions by weight relative to the acrylic acid. Advantageously, the proportion of triacrylic acid (compound I in which x = 2) and higher oligomers of the acrylic acid amounts to less than 100 ppm, especially less than 50 ppm, and particularly less than 10 ppm.

The invention relates to a method for continuously producing cross-linked, fine-particle geleous polymerizates by copolymerizing: a) water-soluble, monoethylenically unsaturated monomers; b) 0.001 to 5 mol %, with regard to monomers (a), of monomers containing at least two ethylenically unsaturated double bonds, and; (c) 0 to 20 mol %, with regard to monomers (a), of water-insoluble monoethylenically unsaturated monomers in 20 to 80 wt. % of an aqueous solution in the presence of an initiator and at temperatures ranging from 0 to 140 °C, whereby the aqueous solution of the monomers, together with the initiator and an inert gas, are continuously fed to a kneader-mixer having at least two shafts which rotate parallel to the axis. A number of kneading and transport elements are situated on the shafts and deliver the substances, which are added at the entry to the kneader-mixer, in an axial direction to the end of the mixer. The inventive method is characterized in that the proportion of the heat dissipation effected by evaporating water out of the reaction mixture equals at least 5 % of the reaction heat, and the proportion of the heat dissipation effected by product discharge equals at least 25 % of the reaction heat, and the remaining heat dissipation is effected by cooling the reactor walls.

The invention relates to a method for producing a low-odor hydrogel-forming polymer based on acrylic acid, comprising the following steps: a) producing a polymeric hydrogel by radically polymerizing, in an aqueous polymerization medium, a monomer composition containing at least 50 wt. % of acrylic acid, and transforming the hydrogel into a particulate hydrogel or into a hydrogel-forming powder, and optionally; b) treating the particulate hydrogel or the hydrogel-forming powder with a crosslinking-active substance having at least two functional groups that react with the carboxyl groups of the polymer. The invention is characterized in that acrylic acid used in step a) contains less than 400 ppm ethanoic acid and/or propionic acid. The invention also relates to the hydrogel-forming polymers obtained according to said method, and to the use thereof.
