摘要:
A method for producing a porous material by forming a water-in-oil type high internal phase emulsion, which method is characterized by causing waste water generated during the process of production to be put to reuse. The waste water is preferred to be reused after the removal of impurities or the adjustment of pH. According to this invention, the waste water can be reused up to 50 repetitions, with the result that the amount of feed water and the amount of waste water will be decreased. Incidentally, by adjusting the pH of the water-in-oil type high internal phase emulsion after the reaction thereof in the range of 4-9, it is made possible to continue the reuse of waste water and, at the same time, lower the stimulating property of the produced porous material.

A particulate water absorbent contains a water absorbent resin as a main component, the water absorbent resin being a crosslinked polymer of a water-soluble unsaturated monomer. The water absorbent resin is particular in shape and contains particles of a particle size in a range of not less than 106 μm and less than 850 μm in an amount of not less than 90 mass percent with respect to the total mass of the water absorbent resin contained in the particulate water absorbent.
