    摘要: A method for preparing superabsorbent polymer is disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a method includes polymerizing a monomer composition to form a hydrogel polymer, wherein the monomer composition comprises a water soluble ethylenically unsaturated monomer and a polymerization initiator, drying and grinding the hydrogel polymer to prepare a base resin powder, surface cross-linking the base resin powder using a surface cross-linking agent to prepare surface cross-linked base resin powder, and hydrating the surface cross-linked base resin powder by pulse spraying water to prepare a superabsorbent polymer, wherein a scattering index of droplets generated during the pulse spraying is 5 to 10, and wherein the scattering index is calculated in accordance with the following Mathematical Formula 1. The superabsorbent polymer can have an improved moisture content to prevent surface property change of the superabsorbent polymer, and decreased amount of fine powder which improves processability during manufacture of articles using superabsorbent polymer.

    摘要: A method of continuously recovering (meth)acrylic acid is provided. The method of continuously recovering (meth)acrylic acid according to the present disclosure enables use of a natural circulation type of reboiler which does not require an operating part in a destructive distillation process of recovering (meth)acrylic acid from a (meth)acrylic acid waste liquid, and therefore, stable operation of the continuous process may be achieved while simplifying equipment configuration.
