Abstract

A method for producing a powdery and granular polymer by two coagulation steps comprising coagulating a latex of the polymer, the latex containing a sulfuric acid ester series and/or sulfonic acid series anionic surface active agents, with an acid to an amount of the polymer of 40 to 80 wt. % at a first coagulation step, and then bringing coagulation to completion with an acid or salt at a second coagulation step. According to the present invention, a powdery and granular polymer having a sharp particle size distribution and a high bulk specific gravity can be obtained.
