摘要:
From a view pint of decreasing an out of spec product after surface crosslinking, particularly, when an alkylene carbonate compound is used as a surface crosslinking agent, influence due to an air temperature is great, and it is necessary to reduce ethylene glycol which is produced as a byproduct. There is provided a process for producing a polyacrylic acid (salt)-based water absorbent resin powder, comprising storing a non-polymerized organic compound being a raw material (modified raw material) of a water absorbent resin powder in a heated state, thereafter, mixing the non-polymerized organic compound with other compound at a predetermined ratio and, further, mixing the mixture into a water absorbent resin powder.
摘要:
A process according to the present invention for production of water-absorbable polyacrylic acid resin powder, including: (a) polymerizing an acrylic acid-based monomer aqueous solution containing bubbles, and (b) drying a hydrogel crosslinked polymer thus obtained in the step of polymerizing, further includes (c) lowering solubility of dissolved gas in a monomer aqueous solution in the presence of a surfactant and/or a dispersing agent, so as to generate the bubbles in the acrylic acid-based monomer aqueous solution. With this arrangement, it is possible to provide white water-absorbable resin with better water absorbing rate, keeping or without significantly losing the other properties (permeability potential, bulk specific gravity, surface tension, absorbency against pressure, impact resistance, etc.)
摘要:
A water absorbent resin having less fine powder or powdery dust and a controlled particle size is provided, and the water absorption rate of the water absorbent resin is increased by a simple method at low cost, while maintaining or improving other physical properties such as liquid permeability. Disclosed is a method for producing a polyacrylic acid (salt)-type water absorbent resin powder, which includes, in sequence, a step of polymerizing an aqueous solution of acrylic acid (salt)-type monomer; a step of gel-crushing a gel of a water-containing gel-like crosslinked polymer during polymerization or after polymerization; a step of drying the water-containing gel-like crosslinked polymer; and a step of pulverizing and classifying the dried polymer, wherein water absorbent resin fine particles having a particle size of less than 150 µm or a hydrated-particles thereof is added to a step prior to the drying step, and in the drying step, hot air drying is carried out with a hot air having an average flow velocity of 1.0 to 3.0 [m/s], a dew point of 30°C to 100°C, and a hot air temperature of 140°C to 235°C.
摘要:
The present invention provides (i) a water absorbing agent which is excellent in a water absorbing physical properties, in particular water absorbing speed and has a great bulk specific gravity and (ii) a method for producing the water absorbing agent. The method for producing the water absorbing agent includes a surfactant adding step of adding a surfactant whose HLB is 10 or less. The surfactant adding step is the step of adding a dispersion liquid, which contains the surfactant equivalent to 30 parts by weight to 150 parts by weight, relative to 1000000 parts by weight of a water absorbent resin solid content, and the surfactant adding step is carried out after a drying step. Further, in a case where a water-soluble polyvalent metal salt adding step is carried out after the drying step, the surfactant adding step is carried out after the water-soluble polyvalent metal salt adding step.
