Superabsorbent material and method for producing said material

The invention provides a process of producing a superabsorbent polysaccharide derivative by oxidation of a alpha -glucan, glucomannan or galactomannan to introduce aldehyde functions, the oxidised polysaccharide subsequently being reacted with sulphur dioxide or an equivalent thereof to produce a hy...

Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a process of producing a superabsorbent polysaccharide derivative by oxidation of a alpha -glucan, glucomannan or galactomannan to introduce aldehyde functions, the oxidised polysaccharide subsequently being reacted with sulphur dioxide or an equivalent thereof to produce a hydroxysulphonated polysaccharide. The polysaccharide may be crosslinked before or after the oxidation. The preferred polysaccharide is starch or guar.
