Patent number: 8940845Abstract: The invention provides a novel method for producing a water-absorbent resin comprising: subjecting at least one water-soluble ethylenic unsaturated monomer to reversed-phase suspension polymerization in a petroleum hydrocarbon dispersion medium, the reversed-phase suspension polymerization being conducted using a 0.00005 to 0.00016 mole of water-soluble azo initiator for radical polymerization per mole of the water-soluble ethylenic unsaturated monomer in the presence of 0.000015 to 0.00015 mole of hypophosphorous compound per mole of the water-soluble ethylenic unsaturated monomer. According to the method, the environmental impact can be lessened by reducing the amount of petroleum hydrocarbon dispersion medium released to the outside of the system, and the method makes it possible to obtain a water-absorbent resin having a high water-retention capacity and water-absorption capacity under a load, and a small content of water soluble component at the same time.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2012Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: Sumitomo Seika Chemicals Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinya Fukudome, Tetsuhiro Hinayama, Noriko Honda, Junichi Takatori

Patent number: 8084544Abstract: Process for preparing a water-absorbent resin comprising carrying out a reversed-phase suspension polymerization in multi-steps of two or more steps. The water-absorbent resin is prepared by subjecting a water-soluble ethylenically unsaturated monomer to the reversed phase suspension polymerization. This process for preparing a water-absorbent resin involves adding an aminocarboxylic acid compound to at least one step in the second and subsequent steps to carry out the polymerization reaction. The resulting water-absorbent resin can be suitably used in a hygienic material. The water-absorbent resin has a high degree of water-retention, including a high degree of water absorption under pressure. It also has a high water absorption rate, and contains only a small amount of water-soluble substances.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2006Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Sumitomo Seika Chemicals Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinya Fukudome, Junichi Takatori, Kenya Matsuda, Yasuhiro Nawata
