Reversed phase suspension polymerization is allowed while controlling content of minor components in monomer, particularly controlling a content of acetic acid and propionic acid being not higher than 500 ppm, controlling a content of acrylic acid dimer being not higher than 1000 ppm, in acrylic acid. Cross-linked polymer obtained by the polymerization is subjected to a surface crosslinking treatment without substantially using an organic solvent, and under heating at high temperature (150° C. or higher and 250° C. or lower). Thereafter, agglomeration is carried out without substantially using an organic solvent. Accordingly, a particulate water-absorbing agent including a water-absorbing resin having superior property, and being suited for practical applications at high concentrations in absorbing cores such as a diaper and the like without generation of any odor of the organic solvent can be obtained because no volatile organic compound is included.

摘要:
A hydrophilic polymer is denatured with a gaseous denaturant or a powdery denaturant substance made from a liquid denaturant substance. The liquid denaturant substance is made into powders by, for example, a method of mixing the liquid denaturant substance with a water-insoluble compound, a method of cooling the liquid denaturant substance to or below its melting point to turn the same into a solid state. Consequently, the hydrophilic polymer can be denatured uniformly. In case that the hydrophilic polymer is denatured with a gaseous denaturant, the hydrophilic polymer and denaturant react with each other efficiently in a safe manner regardless of the size or shape of the hydrophilic polymer. In case that the hydrophilic polymer is denatured with the powdery denaturant substance, not only the liquid denaturant substance which is substantially in the solid state can be mixed with the hydrophilic polymer, but also the denaturation timing can be readily controlled.
