In the present invention, the anionic polymer is preferably polyacrylic acid and/or acrylic acid-maleic acid copolymer because: polyacrylic acid and acrylic acid maleic acid copolymers have a higher molecular weight than other anionic polymers and produce anionic macromolecules upon dissolution in water.

Preferably, the pH adjuster employed to maintain the pH of the system comprises a basic catalyst.
Preferably, in the step (3), the mass ratio of the hydrolysate to the seed crystal is 1: (0.125-0.875), wherein 0.125-0.875 may be 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, etc., further preferably 1: (0.15-0.7).
