摘要:
Process for reducing the content of water-soluble salts of aqueous solutions of polymers containing vinylamine groups by ultrafiltration to achieve a residual salt content of 1 to 10 % by weight based on total solution solids in the polymer solution comprising feeding an aqueous salt-containing solution of vinylamine group containing polymers at a polymer concentration of at least 7 % by weight to an ultrafiltration unit and removing the water-soluble salts with the permeate from the feed solution by adding thereto less than 4 parts by weight of water per one part by weight of the feed solution, and use of the polymer of the aqueous solutions thus purified as basic water-absorbing resin of multicomponent superabsorbent polymers. Preferably vibratory shear membranes in a diafiltration configuration are used.
摘要:
A color-stable superabsorbent polymer having long-term color stability, and methods of manufacturing the polymer, are disclosed. The color-stable superabsorbent polymer is prepared in the essential absence of a persulfate, and is subjected to a low dose of ultraviolet radiation. The resulting superabsorbent polymer resists color degradation during periods of extended storage, even at an elevated temperature and humidity.
