  • Patent number: 12059504
    Abstract: A process for producing superabsorbent particles by polymerizing a monomer solution or suspension, comprising drying of the resultant aqueous polymer gel in an air circulation belt drier, grinding, classifying, and optionally thermal surface postcrosslinking, wherein the aqueous polymer gel is introduced into the air circulation belt drier by means of an oscillating conveyor belt, the underside of the revolving conveyor belt is freed of adhering polymer gel by means of at least one stripper device, and the underside of the revolving conveyor belt is sprayed with water.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 17, 2019
    Date of Patent: August 13, 2024
    Assignee: BASF SE
    Inventors: Rene Callot, Ruediger Funk, Marco Krueger, Thomas Pfeiffer, Karl Possemiers, Juergen Schroeder, Matthias Weismantel
  • Publication number: 20220089789
    Abstract: A process for producing superabsorbent particles by polymerizing a monomer solution or suspension, comprising drying of the resultant aqueous polymer gel in an air circulation belt dryer, grinding, classifying, and optionally thermal surface postcrosslinking, wherein the aqueous polymer gel is introduced into the air circulation belt dryer by means of an oscillating conveyor belt and that guide devices are located at the edges of the conveyor belt.
