    Abstract: A process for producing superabsorbent particles by polymerizing a monomer solution, comprising the steps of continuously polymerizing the monomer solution on the continuous belt of a belt reactor, comminuting the polymer gel obtained, rinsing the polymer gel obtained on the underside of the belt reactor into a separation unit with water, separating the polymer gel from the water in the separation unit and recycling the polymer gel into the comminution, wherein the polymer gel has a swelling capacity in water of at least 100 g/g, the dwell time of the polymer gel in the rinse water is less than 40 minutes, and the separation unit has openings with a clear width of at least 1 mm.

    Abstract: A process for producing surface postcrosslinked superabsorbent particles, wherein an aqueous monomer solution with a small amount of initiator is polymerized to give a polymer gel, the resultant polymer gel is extruded through a die plate, the extruded polymer gel is dried on an air circulation belt drier having one or more zones, and the resultant polymer particles are ground and classified and then thermally surface postcrosslinked, wherein the temperatures of the drying gas supplied in the course of drying in the forward zones of the air circulation belt drier are from 120 to 160° C., and the speeds of the air supplied are from 1.2 to 3.0 m/s.
