Abstract

A method for the production of an absorbent resin, which method comprises mixing 100 parts by weight of (A) a hydrated gel of absorbent resin which is resulted from aqueous solution polymerization having a polymerization ratio in the range of from 60 to 99%, an average particle diameter in the range of from 0.1 to 200 mm, a water content in the range of from 30 to 90% by weight, and a temperature in the range of from 40.degree. to 110.degree. C., with from 1 to 50 parts by weight of (B) a substantially dry fine absorbent resin powder having an average particle diameter smaller than the average particle diameter assumed by said hydrated gel of absorbent resin (A) while in a dried state, then raising the polymerization ratio of said hydrated gel of absorbent resin (A) to a level higher than the polymerization ratio of said hydrated gel when being mixed.
