Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for producing superabsorbent polymer particles, comprising surface postcrosslinking, classifying the surface postcrosslinked superabsorbent polymer particles, deagglomerating the separated oversize fraction using a roll crusher and recycling the disintegrated oversize fraction before or into the classification of the surface postcrosslinked superabsorbent polymer particles.
Abstract:
A process for producing water-absorbing polymer particles having high free swell rate and high centrifuge retention capacity with simultaneously high permeability of the swollen gel bed by polymerization of an aqueous monomer solution in a polymerization reactor having at least two shafts (kneaders) which rotate in an axially parallel manner, subsequent extrusion at high temperatures and thermal surface postcrosslinking.
