DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing a water absorbent resin by copolymerizing acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid with a divinyl type monomer. Conventionally, starch-acrylonitrile graft saponified products (Special Publication, 1978, 14157) have been used as water-absorbent resins.
No.), starch-polyacrylic acid graft copolymer (Special Publication, No. 46199, 1977), etc. have been disclosed, but the manufacturing method is complicated and the water absorption is not sufficient. In addition, a product made by copolymerizing acrylic acid with a hydrophobic monomer and a crosslinking agent (Unexamined Publication, 1973)
141357), polyacrylic acid cross-linked with polyvalent metals (Japanese Patent Publication, 1978, No. 112787), acrylic acid salts self-crosslinked in petroleum solvents (Japanese Publication, 1978, No. 112787), , No. 55260), and one in which N-methylol acrylamide and acrylic acid are reacted to synthesize a divinyl compound, and then acrylic acid is polymerized (Japanese Published Publication, No. 113691, 1972). The starch-graft type is not preferable because its water absorption performance is lower than that of the starch-graft type, and the solvent remains in the product. As a result of intensive research into water-absorbing resins that have superior water-absorbing performance than starch-graft systems and can be easily produced in an aqueous medium, the present inventors found that acrylic acid (including acrylates) and/or methacrylic acid ( (including methacrylate) and the following formula (1) and/or (2)
The present inventors have discovered that the monomers can be easily obtained by copolymerizing them in an aqueous solution, and have completed the present invention. Examples of the divinyl type monomer used in the present invention include monomers represented by the following formula (1). The present invention is characterized in that the divinyl type monomer represented by formula (1) above is used as a crosslinking agent, thereby using a crosslinking agent that is an application of conventionally used methylol acrylamide, acrylic acid, etc. When conventional acrylamide-based crosslinking agents were used, unreacted harmful acrylamide monomers remained in the product due to poor copolymerizability with acrylic acid. However, the monomer of formula (1) of the present invention has excellent copolymerizability with acrylic acid, and no unreacted monomer was observed. The main monomer constituting the present invention is acrylic acid or methacrylic acid (including neutralized products of each).
General formulas (1) and (2) for 100 moles are 0.001 to 1.0
The molar amount is preferably 0.005 to 0.5 molar, and the addition of a vinyl compound that can be copolymerized with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid is also included in the present invention, but if it is added in an amount of 50 mol% or more based on acrylic acid, the water absorbency decreases. Therefore, the content is preferably 50 mol% or less. In the production method of the present invention, a compound represented by formula (1) and acrylic acid or methacrylic acid (including neutralized products of each) are mixed as a crosslinking agent in an organic solvent-water mixed solvent, an aqueous solvent, preferably an aqueous solvent. Copolymerization is carried out using a common water-based polymerization initiator, and preferred initiators include Mohr's salt-hydrogen peroxide-based and persulfate-sulfite-based redox radical polymerization initiators. It is carried out at 90°C, preferably from 15°C to 60°C. After the reaction, the polymer can be easily obtained by neutralizing it with an alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide, an alkali metal carbonate such as sodium carbonate, ammonia, or an organic amine such as trimethylamine, and then drying it with a drum dryer or the like. It will be done. The water-absorbing resin obtained by the present invention may be used in any manner, such as by mixing it as a powder with pulp, soil, plastics, etc., or by dispersing it in water and mixing it with pulp, cloth, paper, wood, stone, etc.
A method of spraying on a substrate such as concrete, or a method in which a substrate such as pulp, cloth, paper, wood, stone, concrete, etc. is immersed in an aqueous dispersion or solution of the powder, and then the substrate is dried, or the substrate is immersed and kneaded. There are methods for post-drying. The water-absorbent resin obtained by the present invention has a wide variety of uses.For example, when used in disposable diapers, sanitary products, gauze, paper towels, etc., products with excellent liquid absorption ability can be obtained, and when mixed with soil, it can retain water in the soil. In addition, when used in interior building materials, a product with dew condensation prevention effect can be obtained, and by impregnating pesticides, fertilizers, fragrances, etc. into this water-absorbing resin composition, these effects can be maintained for a longer period of time. It can be sustained. The water absorbent resin obtained by the production method of the present invention is
It may contain or be mixed with extenders, pigments, ultraviolet water absorbers, antioxidants, fungicides, fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, fertilizers, fragrances, deodorants, and the like. The present invention will be explained below with reference to Examples. Note that the numbers in the examples are parts by weight. Comparative Example 1 72 parts (1 mol) of acrylic acid, 14EG-A (manufactured by Kyoeisha Yushi Kagaku Kogyo Co., Ltd.), polyethylene glycol (average molecular weight 600), 0.74 part (0.001 part) of diacrylate
mol) in 720 parts of n-hexane and stirred for 20 minutes under a nitrogen stream. After adding 0.5 parts of benzoyl peroxide and carrying out a polymerization reaction at 65°C for 5 hours, the white precipitate was dissolved in sodium hydroxide. The mixture was washed with methanol and dried. When the obtained white powder was dispersed in an aqueous solution, it did not form a gel and dissolved in water to become a highly viscous liquid. Comparative Example 2 72 parts (1 mol) of acrylic acid, 0.17 parts (0.001 mol) of ethyl glycol diacrylate in 400 parts of water
After dissolving the mixture in 50% of sodium bisulfite, the mixture was poured into a Werner type mill, and the temperature was adjusted to 30°C while stirring under a nitrogen stream for 20 minutes.
After adding 200mg and carrying out the polymerization reaction for 5 hours while cooling to prevent the reaction temperature from rising above 60℃, it was cooled to 25℃, neutralized by adding 53g of sodium carbonate, and further dried with a drum dryer. Then, 32 to 60 meshes were milled. Example 1 Same as Comparative Example 2, but 0.001 mol (0.30 parts) of KAYAMERPA-2, the monomer of the present invention, was used instead of ethylene glycol diacrylate as a crosslinking agent.
The reaction was carried out using Example 2 The water absorption rates of the samples obtained in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 and Example 1 were determined. (1) Method for measuring water absorption in ion-exchanged water Place 1g of sample (anhydrous equivalent) in a cloth bag (10cm x 15cm) made of cotton broadcloth (#40), and add it to 1000ml of ion-exchanged water (2 x 10 6 Ωcm). at 20℃
Leave it for 60 minutes to absorb water, then remove the cloth bag,
Treat with a centrifugal dehydrator (φ20cm, 500rpm) for 60 seconds to remove free water, and weigh. Water absorption is expressed as a weight ratio to the original sample. (2) Method for measuring water absorption in 1% NaCl solution A 1% NaCl solution was used instead of ionized water, and the same method as in the case of ionized water was used. 【table】
