2. Description of the Related Art Recently, disposable diapers,
So-called water-absorbent resins have been widely used as body fluid absorbents for so-called disposable absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins. After use, the absorbent articles are discarded by incineration or burying in the soil, but when buried in the soil, most of the water-absorbing resin used is a synthetic polymer. The later water-absorbent resin is hard to decompose and remains in the soil for a long time. Such a phenomenon may become a serious problem due to the close-up of environmental problems in the future.

As a countermeasure, it has been proposed to recycle the water-absorbent resin after water absorption for incineration or composting. However, incineration requires a large amount of equipment and labor costs, and is economically and energy-efficient. However, problems such as unfavorable problems remain. In addition, in the case of compost with low equipment cost and labor cost, it may be preferable that the water-absorbing resin is solubilized. The purpose of the present invention is usually, the water-absorbent resin after water absorption is difficult to dispose, decompose and separate, solubilized in an aqueous solvent,
An object of the present invention is to provide a water-absorbent resin composition that is easy to dispose, decompose, separate and reuse.

In the present invention, the water-absorbing resin is a water-insoluble substance that absorbs a large amount of water and swells in water to form a hydrogel. Preferably, 10 to 1 of its own weight
Such a water-absorbing resin is, for example, a crosslinked product of a hydrolyzate of a starch-acrylonitrile graft copolymer and a crosslinked product of a neutralized product of a starch-acrylic acid graft copolymer. , A crosslinked product of an acrylate-vinyl acetate copolymer, a crosslinked product of a hydrolyzate of an acrylamide polymer, a crosslinked product of a partially neutralized product of an acrylic acid polymer, and a crosslinked product of an isobutylene-maleic acid copolymer Crosslinked bodies and the like can be mentioned.

When the amount of ascorbic acid is less than 0.1 part by weight , it does not become a substantially effective amount, and the effect of solubilizing the water-absorbing resin is reduced. Not only is it not possible to obtain the appropriate effect, but also the water-absorbent resin after absorbing water becomes strongly acidic, and a large amount of a basic substance is required for adjusting the pH, which is not preferable in terms of cost.

[0009] The pH of the water-absorbent resin composition of the present invention must be in the range of 4 to 7.5. Outside this range, the efficiency of solubilization is significantly reduced and little is solubilized. Therefore, the pH of the water absorbent resin composition is particularly important in the present invention. In adjusting the pH of the water-absorbent resin composition of the present invention, a pH adjuster may be used in combination. The pH adjuster is a common acid or base and sufficiently fulfills its role, and examples thereof include sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide (aqueous solution), and potassium hydroxide (aqueous solution).

In solubilizing the water-absorbent resin composition of the present invention, the solubilization rate may change depending on the selection of conditions. For example, ascorbic acid is decomposed at a high temperature exceeding 150 ° C., so that the temperature should be 150 ° C. or less, preferably 100 ° C. or less. It is also preferable to set the temperature to such a degree that the water absorbent resin is not solidified. Specifically, it is 0 ° or more, preferably 15 ° or more, and particularly preferably room temperature. In addition, under the influence of a third component, for example, a metal ion, for example, a copper ion, the generation of radicals may be activated to promote self-solubilization.
