Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of preparing a super absorbent polymer (SAP). The preparation method for SAP according to the present invention includes: preparing a first polymer by carrying out a thermal polymerization or photo polymerization of a monomer composition comprising a water-soluble ethylene-based unsaturated monomer and a polymerization initiator; preparing a second polymer by carrying out a thermal polymerization or photo polymerization of a monomer composition comprising a water-soluble ethylene-based unsaturated monomer and a polymerization initiator; drying the first polymer; milling the dried first polymer; and mixing the milled first polymer with the second polymer in the free swelling state using the crosslinking solution to cause a crosslinking reaction of the first and second polymers. According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a super absorbent polymer (SAP) having high centrifuge retention capacity and high absorption under pressure.
