Abstract

Disclosed herein is a process for preparing a water-soluble polymer, which comprises granulating a hydrous gel-like polymer obtained by polymerizing N-vinylformamide in the form of an aqueous solution of which a monomer concentration is 20 to 60% by weight, dispersing the formed polymer particles in methanol and contacting them with an aqueous solution of ammonium salt of a monovalent acid in an amount of 1 to 200% by mole based on the formamide groups in said polymer, thereby partially modifying the formamide groups in the polymer.
