2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, disposable diapers,
So-called water-absorbent resins have been widely used as body fluid absorbents for so-called disposable absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins. Absorbent articles after use are discarded by incineration or buried in the soil, but when buried in the soil and discarded, most of the water-absorbent resins used are synthetic polymers The subsequent water-absorbent resin is difficult to decompose and remains in the soil for a long time. Such a phenomenon may become a serious problem in the future due to close-up of environmental problems.

As a countermeasure for this, it has been proposed to incinerate the water-absorbent resin after water absorption or reuse it for composting, but incineration requires a large amount of equipment and labor costs, which is economical and energy-intensive. There are still problems such as unfavorable conditions. Further, in composting with low equipment cost and labor cost, it may be preferable that the water absorbent resin is solubilized. The purpose of the present invention is usually because the water-absorbent resin after water absorption, which is difficult to dispose, decompose, and separate, is solubilized in an aqueous solvent,
It is to provide a water-absorbent resin composition that can be easily discarded, decomposed, separated, and reused.

The amount of ascorbic acid in the present invention is 0.01 part by weight or more and 1 part by weight or less with respect to 1 part by weight of the water absorbent resin. When the amount of ascorbic acid is less than 0.01, the effective amount is not obtained, the solubilizing effect of the water-absorbent resin is low, and even if the amount exceeds 1 part by weight, the effect corresponding to the increase is not obtained. Not only that, but on the contrary, the water-absorbent resin after water absorption becomes strongly acidic and a large amount of a basic substance is required for adjusting the pH, which is not preferable in terms of cost.

The pH of the water-absorbent resin composition of the present invention must be in the range of 4 or more and 7.5 or less. If it deviates from this range, the efficiency of solubilization is remarkably reduced, and almost no solubilization occurs. Therefore, the pH of the water absorbent resin composition is particularly important in the present invention. When adjusting the pH of the water absorbent resin composition of the present invention, it is possible to use a pH adjuster together. The pH adjusting agent plays a sufficient role with general acids and bases, and examples thereof include sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide (aqueous solution) and potassium hydroxide (aqueous solution).

According to the present invention, 0.01 to 1 part by weight of ascorbic acid and 1 to 1000 parts by weight of water are mixed with 1 part by weight of the water absorbent resin, and the pH is in the range of 4 to 7.5. In the water-absorbent resin composition, the water-absorbent resin in the composition usually absorbs water to form a gel, and then the polymer chain is cleaved / lowered in molecular weight over time to be solubilized in an aqueous solvent. However, depending on the conditions, it is expected that the surface of the water-absorbent resin will be solubilized before it becomes gel-like.

When solubilizing the water absorbent resin composition of the present invention, the solubilization rate may change depending on the selection of conditions. For example, ascorbic acid is decomposed at a high temperature of more than 150 ° C., so 150 ° C. or less, preferably 100 ° C. or less. It is also preferable to set the temperature to a level at which the water absorbent resin is not solidified. Specifically, it is preferably 0 degrees or more, preferably 15 degrees or more, and particularly preferably room temperature. Further, the generation of radicals may be activated and self-solubilization may be promoted by the influence of the third component, for example, a metal ion, for example, a copper ion. In addition, other activation methods include stirring and the like.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The water-absorbent resin composition of the present invention solubilizes a water-absorbent resin, which has been difficult to dispose, decompose and separate up to now, in an aqueous solvent without particularly applying energy. The water-absorbent resin of the present invention can also be designed to retain water when absorbing water and decompose over time in the discarded state.
