Patent number: 7576138Abstract: A method of surface cross-linking superabsorbent polymer particles using UV irradiation is provided. The method is carried out in a so-called drum reactor, which comprises a hollow drum and an irradiation source. The drum has a longitudinal axis and a cross-section. Superabsorbent polymer particles are fed into the drum and are irradiated while they move within the drum, which is rotated around its longitudinal axis. The irradiation source is provided such that the radiation emitted by the irradiation source is able to reach superabsorbent polymer particles within said drum. The irradiation source for use in the method is able to emit UV radiation of a wavelength between about 100 nm and about 200 nm.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2006Date of Patent: August 18, 2009Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Andreas Flohr, Torsten Lindner, Esther Oliveros, Yoshiro Mitsukami
