It can be done, but it is not limited to the above-described example.
- the hydrogel polymer can be pulverized so that the particle size is 2 mm to 10 mm. Grinding the particles to a particle size of less than 2 mm is not technically easy due to the high water content of the hydrogel polymer, and agglomeration may occur between the crushed particles. On the other hand, when pulverizing with a particle diameter exceeding 10 mm, the effect of increasing the efficiency of the subsequent drying step may be minimal.
- the drying temperature in the drying step may be 150 to 250 °C. If the drying temperature is less than 150 °C, the drying time becomes too long and there is a risk that the physical properties of the final formed superabsorbent polymer may deteriorate, and if the drying temperature exceeds 250 °C, only the polymer surface is dried excessively, resulting in a grinding process to be performed later. Fine powder may occur, and there is a risk that the physical properties of the final formed superabsorbent polymer may deteriorate.

- hot air supply it can be performed by using an oven capable of shifting the air volume up and down.
- the moisture content of the polymer after this drying step may be about 0.1 to about 10% by weight.
- the polymer powder obtained after the grinding step may have a particle diameter of 150 to 850 ⁇ m.
- the grinder used for grinding to such particle size is specifically a pin mill, hammer mill, screw mill, roll mill, disc mill or jog. A jog mill, etc. may be used, but it is not limited to the examples described above.
- a separate process may be performed to classify the polymer powder obtained after grinding according to particle size.

- the base resin powder that has undergone the classification has a particle diameter of 150 ⁇ m to 850 ⁇ m, may include 50% by weight or more of particles with a particle diameter of 300 ⁇ m to 600 ⁇ m, and fine powder having a particle diameter of less than 150 ⁇ m. This can be less than 3% by weight.
- fines (fine powder) having a particle size of less than 150 ⁇ m may be generated in the polymerization, drying, and grinding steps, and the fine powder with a particle size of less than 150 ⁇ m classified in the above-described classification step may be subjected to a reassembly process. Afterwards, normal particles of 150 ⁇ m or more can be manufactured and recycled as base resin powder.
- the reassembly process of the fine powder may be a method commonly applied in the art, for example, a process of agglomerating the fine powder in a wet state may be performed. Specifically, the classified fine powder is mixed with water to coagulate, and then the water is dried through a re-drying process to produce normal particles. In the reassembly process, additives such as water-soluble polymers may be optionally used to improve the cohesive strength of the particles.
- a step of surface cross-linking while heat-treating the base resin powder in the presence of a surface cross-linking agent may be further included.
- the surface cross-linking step is performed using a surface cross-linking solution whose surface tension is controlled to a specific range. Specifically, the surface tension of the surface cross-linking solution satisfies 36 mN/m to 50 mN/m. By doing so, a superabsorbent polymer with excellent liquid permeability can be manufactured.
- the surface tension of the solution is adjusted to the above-mentioned range, which is lower than that of a commonly used surface cross-linking solution.
- the diffusion rate of the surface cross-linking solution into the base resin is slowed down by the relatively low surface tension (36 mN/m to 50 mN/m) compared to the surface tension.

- the surface tension of the surface cross-linking solution is less than 36 mN/m, it is difficult for the surface cross-linking solution containing the epoxy-based surface cross-linking agent to penetrate into the base resin powder, making it difficult to perform uniform surface cross-linking to the desired degree, and the surface tension is 50 mN. If /m is exceeded, the surface cross-linking solution may excessively penetrate into the base resin powder, which may increase the surface cross-linking density and lower the water retention capacity.
- the surface tension of the surface cross-linking solution may be 36 mN/m or more, 37 mN/m or more, 38 mN/m or more, 49 mN/m or less, or 48.5 mN/m or less, and within the above range, This is desirable because it is possible to manufacture a superabsorbent polymer with excellent absorption properties without any problems.

- the surface tension can be measured according to the Wilhelmy plate method at room temperature of 23 ⁇ 2°C.
- the specific method of measuring this surface tension will be described in more detail in the experimental examples described later.
- the surface cross-linking step induces a cross-linking reaction on the surface of the base resin powder in the presence of a surface cross-linking agent, and the unsaturated bonds of the acrylic acid-based monomer remaining on the surface without cross-linking are cross-linked by the surface cross-linking agent, thereby increasing the surface cross-linking density.
- a high-absorbent polymer with increased is formed.
- a surface cross-linking layer can be formed through a heat treatment process, and the heat treatment process increases the surface cross-linking density, that is, the external cross-linking density, while the internal cross-linking density does not change, so the produced surface cross-linking layer
