The invention provides: a water-absorbent resin granule-containing
composition with resolution of various problems, as caused by
water-absorbent resin fine powders, and with high granulation strength,
and with no physical property deterioration due to granulation, and, if
anything, with improvement of the absorption capacity under a load by
granulation; and a process for producing the above granule. A
water-absorbent resin primary particle and a water-absorbent resin
granule are separately surface-crosslinked and then mixed, or mixed and
then surface-crosslinked. The granulation is carried out by mixing a
preheated aqueous liquid and a water-absorbent resin powder at a high
speed or by supplying a water-absorbent resin powder downstream of an
aqueous liquid with a continuous extrusion mixer.
