Abstract
Provided is a production method for the particulate water-absorbing agent, which can contribute to property enhancement, and further improvement of productivity or the like, as well. One example of the production method for the particulate water-absorbing agent relevant to the present invention includes the polymerization step for obtaining a polymer gel; the drying step for drying the polymer gel to obtain a dried substance; the pulverization step for pulverizing the dried substance or the polymer gel to obtain the particulate water-absorbing resin; the classification step for sieving the particulate water-absorbing resin; the granule sizing step for granule sizing the particulate water-absorbing agent obtained from the particulate water-absorbing resin; and the transporting step for transporting the products produced in each of the steps to other steps. Preferably, one or more steps selected from the pulverization step, the classification step, the granule sizing step and the transporting step after the pulverization step are set under reduced pressure state.
