Provided is an absorbent body that, for example, in a case where the absorbent body has been used in an absorbent article, such as a thin disposable diaper, having an absorbent body with a low proportion of fiber material (hydrophilic fibers) such as pulp, enables the absorbent article such as a disposable diaper to have an improved liquid trapping function on second and subsequent urinations over the conventional ones and particularly to have an increased amount of liquid trapped under load on the second and subsequent urinations over the conventional ones. Also provided is a water-absorbing resin that is used in the absorbent body and has an increased absorption capacity under load on the second and subsequent urinations over the conventional ones. The absorbent body includes a water-absorbing resin having a gel expansion force under a load of 4.83 kPa of 26 N or more.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a water absorbing agent, whereby the ability to produce the water absorbing agent is enhanced or the amount of a residual surface crosslinking agent is reduced (or Anti-Caking property are enhanced) in the production of a water absorbing agent having high physical properties (particularly, high liquid permeability and Anti-Caking property), whereas the surface crosslinking step tends to be a rate-determining step in the current state of the art. In this method for producing a water absorbing agent, an additive selected from a polyvalent metal cation-containing compound, water-insoluble inorganic fine particles, and a cationic polymer compound is used, and surface crosslinking, particularly surface crosslinking with an alkylene carbonate compound, is performed under conditions where a temperature in a heat treatment system is controlled to be in a range from 100 °C to 300 °C, and a dew point in the heat treatment system is controlled to be lower than 45 °C.
