Problems solved by technology

[0010] However, although the permeability is improved by adding silica or clay, there is a problem that the water retention capacity or the absorption rate under pressure decreases in proportion to it, and it is easy to occur due to external physical shock during transportation. polymer separation
There is also the problem that the dry-blended silica is separated from the superabsorbent polymer during the transport line, creating silica dust

[0116] Preparation of base resin - Examples and Comparative Examples

[0117] A monomer composition was prepared by mixing 100 parts by weight of acrylic acid, 126.8 parts by weight of 31.5% caustic soda (NaOH), 46 parts by weight of water, and the following components.

[0118] - Internal crosslinking agent: 0.2 parts by weight (2000 ppmw) of polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA; Mw=400)

[0119] - Polymerization initiator: 0.008 parts by weight (80ppmw) of bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phenylphosphine oxide (photoinitiator) and 0.12 parts by weight (1200ppmw) of sodium persulfate (thermal initiator agent)

[0120] Then, the monomer composition was introduced into a supply unit of a polymerization reactor with a continuously moving conveyor belt, and was irradiated with ultraviolet rays (about 2 mW / cm 2 ) was irradiated for 1.5 minutes, followed by polymerization to obtain a hydrogel polymer as a product.

[0121] Cut the hydrogel polymer with a cutter. Then, the hydro...

Embodiment 1

[0125] Base resins having the following particle size distributions were prepared using the base resins prepared above and standard sieves.

[0126] #20 to #30: 22% by weight, #30 to #50: 64% by weight, #50 to #100: 13% by weight, #100: 1% by weight

[0127] Based on 100 parts by weight of the base resin, by adding about 5.4 parts by weight of water, about 1.8 parts by weight of ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate (1:1), about 0.58 parts by weight of propylene glycol and 0.24 parts by weight of aluminum sulfate Mix to prepare a surface crosslinking solution.

[0128] The surface crosslinking solution was added to 100 parts by weight of the base resin powder, and mixed well while stirring at about 1000 rpm for about 30 seconds using a mixer.

[0129] This was put into a reactor, and was subjected to a surface crosslinking reaction (first surface crosslinking) while raising the temperature to about 168° C. over about 30 minutes.

[0130] Thereafter, the surface crosslin...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing a superabsorbent polymer, also provided are: a method for preparing such a superabsorbent polymer; the present invention relates to a superabsorbent polymer particle capable of achieving anti-caking properties while maintaining excellent absorption-related physical properties of the superabsorbent polymer particle by performing surface crosslinking at a relatively lower temperature than before using a non-epoxy-compound cross-linking agent instead of an epoxy-compound-based surface cross-linking agent, which is a source of a disputable chemical hazard.

Description

technical field [0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0123772 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on October 7, 2019, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. [0003] The present disclosure relates to methods of making superabsorbent polymers. Background technique [0004] Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) is a synthetic polymer material that can absorb 500 to 1000 times its own weight in water. Various manufacturers have named it by different names, such as SAM (Super Absorbency Material, super absorbent material), AGM (Absorbent Gel Material, absorbent gel material) and the like. Such superabsorbent polymers have begun to be practically used in hygiene products, and they are now widely used not only in hygiene products such as disposable diapers for children, etc., but also in water-retaining soil products for gardening, water-s...
