If the concentration of the aqueous electrolyte solution is less than 0.001% by weight, it is necessary to add a large amount of the aqueous electrolyte solution to coagulate the emulsion polymer particles, and a large amount of utility is used during the subsequent heat treatment operation. This is not preferred.
- the addition of the aqueous electrolyte solution to the mixture of the suspension polymer suspension and the emulsion polymerization latex in the present invention needs to be performed at a temperature equal to or lower than the vicat softening temperature of the emulsion polymer particles. If the temperature of the mixture of the suspension polymer suspension and the emulsion polymerization latex exceeds the vicat softening temperature of the emulsion polymer when the aqueous electrolyte solution is added, the shape of the resulting polymer particles will be distorted and the water content after dehydration will be high. In addition, uncoagulated emulsion polymer remains, which causes extreme deterioration of filterability, and aggregation between polymer particles tends to occur frequently.
- the suspension polymer suspension and the emulsion polymerization latex mixture It is necessary to add the aqueous electrolyte solution after mixing the suspension polymer particle suspension and the emulsion polymerization latex.
- the reason for this is that the presence of an aqueous electrolyte solution during the mixing of the suspension polymer suspension and the emulsion polymerization latex not only distorts the shape of the resulting polymer particles and increases the water content after dehydration, but also The emulsion polymer remains, and the filterability tends to be extremely deteriorated.

- the amount of the emulsion polymer is preferably 25 to 100 parts by weight, more preferably 30 to 100 parts by weight.
- the amount of the emulsified polymer is less than 22 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the suspension polymer, the fine particle polymer remains in the system even after the addition of the aqueous electrolyte solution, and as a result, the effect of improving the filterability is observed. It is not preferable because it cannot be done. Further, when the amount of the aniline polymer exceeds 100 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the suspension polymer, it is not preferable because the obtained polymer has a high water content after dehydration.
- coating means not only coating the entire surface of the suspension polymer particles with the emulsion polymer, but also partially coating the surface of the polymer particles with the emulsion polymer.
- the average particle diameter of the suspension polymer particles becomes 3 to 50% larger than before coating. If the change in the average particle diameter is less than 3%, the fine particle polymer remains in the system, and as a result, no effect of improving the filterability is obtained.
- the surface of the suspension polymer particles is preferably coated with 50% or more, more preferably 60% or more, of the emulsion polymer. Area covered is 5 If it is lower than 0%, the powder characteristics of the thermoplastic polymer particles for molding after recovery tend to deteriorate.
- thermoplastic polymer particles for molding obtained in the present invention all of the suspended polymer particles may not be coated with the emulsion polymer, and the suspended polymer particles that are not covered with the emulsion polymer may remain. It may contain emulsion polymer particles remaining without coating the polymer particles and the suspension polymer particles.
- thermoplastic polymer particles for molding of the present invention when the ratio of the emulsion polymerization latex in the mixture of the suspension polymer suspension and the emulsion polymerization latex is high, or when the addition rate of the aqueous electrolyte solution is extremely high If the concentration of the aqueous electrolyte solution is extremely high, or when the concentration of the aqueous electrolyte solution is extremely high, a marked increase in viscosity may be observed when the aqueous electrolyte solution is added. In such a case, an operation of lowering the viscosity of the system to such an extent that a normal stirring state can be maintained, such as by appropriately adding water to the system, may be performed.
- the amount of the electrolyte aqueous solution naturally depends on the ratio of the emulsion polymer in the mixture of the suspension polymer particle suspension and the emulsion polymerization latex, but the amount added is such that no uncoagulated emulsion polymer particles are present after the heat treatment. Just do it.
- polymer particles having a low water content cannot be obtained simply by adding an aqueous electrolyte solution to the mixture of the suspension polymer particle suspension and the emulsion polymerization latex.
- the aqueous electrolyte solution is an acidic aqueous solution and the suspension after granulation is acidic, neutralize it with an alkaline solution such as sodium hydroxide. Heat treatment at 20 ° C. is preferred.
- the aggregates of the emulsion polymer particles coated on the surface of the suspension polymer particles are densified, and the water content of the polymer particles is reduced. Thereafter, the polymer particles of the present invention can be obtained by performing dehydration and drying according to a conventional method.
