The present invention relates to an absorbent suitable for use in a thin sanitary material/absorbent article having a high absorbent content and not prone to gel blocking, the absorbent having excellent liquid diffusibility (e.g. SFC) and minimal decrease in absorption ratio under pressure (e.g., AAP or PUP) even when a liquid permeation enhancer is added, and to a method for manufacturing the high-performance absorbent stably during actual production. The method is a method for manufacturing a polyacrylic acid (salt)-based absorbent, having a surface-crosslinking agent addition step for adding a solution of a surface-crosslinking agent, and a liquid permeation enhancer addition step for adding a liquid permeation enhancer, the liquid permeation enhancer addition step being performed after and/or at the same time as the surface-crosslinking agent addition step, the method characterized in that a surface crosslinking step for performing heat treatment in an atmosphere having a dew point of 45° C. to 100° C. is performed after or at the same time as the surface-crosslinking agent addition step.

1. A method for producing a polyacrylic acid (salt)-based water absorbing agent, comprising: a surface crosslinking agent addition step of adding a surface crosslinking agent solution to a polyacrylic acid (salt)-based water absorbent resin powder;a liquid permeability enhancer addition step of adding a liquid permeability enhancer, the liquid permeability enhancer addition step being performed simultaneously with and/or after the surface crosslinking agent addition step; and a surface crosslinking step of carrying out a heat treatment in conditions in which an atmospheric dew point is in a range of 45° C. to 100° C., the surface crosslinking step being performed simultaneously with or after the surface crosslinking agent addition step, wherein the heating apparatus for use in the heat treatment is a continuous type or batch type heating apparatus including a gas discharge mechanism and/or a gas supply mechanism, and a flow rate of an airflow supplied to and/or discharged from the heating apparatus is more than 0 Nm3 but not more than 10,000 Nm3/hr, or a ratio of gas relative to the amount of the polyacrylic acid (salt)-based water absorbent resin powder to be processed is not more than 3,000 Nm3/ton,wherein the liquid permeability enhancer addition step performed simultaneously with the surface crosslinking agent addition step means that (i) the liquid permeability enhancer is mixed into the surface crosslinking agent or into the surface crosslinking agent solution to obtain a mixture and then adding the mixture, (ii) the liquid permeability enhancer is added simultaneously with the surface crosslinking agent or with the surface crosslinking agent solution without being mixed with the surface crosslinking agent or with the surface crosslinking agent solution, or (iii) the liquid permeability enhancer is added at a stage previous to the surface crosslinking agent addition step, andobtaining the polyacrylic acid (salt)-based water absorbing agent. 2. The method as set forth in claim 1, wherein during the heat treatment in the surface crosslinking step, an upper limit of a temperature of the water absorbent resin powder is 175° C. to 300° C. 3. The method as set forth in claim 1, wherein the atmospheric dew point is in the range of 45° C. to 100° C. during a period of time which is not less than 10% of an entire period of the heat treatment in the surface crosslinking step. 4. The method as set forth in claim 1, wherein the atmospheric dew point is in the range of 45° C. to 100° C. at a point when the temperature of the water absorbent resin powder reaches not less than 100° C. in the surface crosslinking step. 5. The method as set forth in claim 1, wherein the liquid permeability enhancer is at least one substance selected from the group consisting of a water-soluble polyvalent metal cation-containing compound, water-insoluble inorganic fine particles, and a cationic polymer compound. 6. The method as set forth in claim 1, wherein the amount of the liquid permeability enhancer added is in a range of 0.01 parts by mass to 5 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the water absorbent resin powder. 7. The method as set forth in claim 1, wherein the surface crosslinking agent solution contains (i) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a polyhydric alcohol compound, amino alcohol, alkylene carbonate, an oxazolidinone compound, and an epoxy compound, each of which is an organic surface crosslinking agent. 8. The method as set forth in claim 7, wherein the amount of the organic surface crosslinking agent contained in the surface crosslinking agent solution is in a range of 0.1 parts by mass to 10 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the water absorbent resin powder. 9. The method as set forth in claim 1, wherein the surface crosslinking agent solution contains water, the amount of the water being in a range of 1 part by mass to 10 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the water absorbent resin powder. 10. The method as set forth in claim 1, wherein the temperature of the water absorbent resin powder in the surface crosslinking agent addition step is in a range of 30° C. to 100° C. 11. The method as set forth in claim 1, wherein a length of time of the heat treatment in the surface crosslinking step is in a range of 1 minute to 120 minutes. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein said gas discharge mechanism and/or gas supply mechanism controls the atmospheric dew point and temperature during the surface crosslinking step.
