This water absorbent is further processed to have a particular particle size distribution (95 wt % or more of its particles are less than 850ƒÊm but not less than 106ƒÊm, and logarithmic standard deviation (ƒĐƒÄ) is in a range of 0.25 to 0.45) and then surface cross-linked. After that, a liquid permeability improver is added therein.	12-09-2010

20090305884	Method for Producing Water Absorbent Resin Particle - The present invention provides a method for producing a water absorbent resin particle, in high productivity, not only in a controlled manner of particle size but also enhancing fundamental property (absorption capacity or absorption capacity against pressure) of a water absorbent resin. A method for producing a water absorbent resin particle having the cross-linking polymerization step for an aqueous solution of an unsaturated monomer; the grain refining step for water-swellable, water-containing gel-like cross-linked polymer (a) obtained in the cross-linking polymerization step; the drying step for grain refined gel; and the crushing step for a dried substance, wherein, in the grain refining step for the water-swellable, water-containing gel-like cross-linked polymer (a), water-swellable, water-containing gel-like cross-linked polymer (b), having solid content or centrifuge retention capacity different from solid content or centrifuge retention capacity of the cross-linked polymer (a) by equal to or larger than 1%, is subjected to coexistence.	12-10-2009
