The purpose of the present invention is to improve the water absorption of a water-absorbent resin without sacrificing the productivity, production cost, safety, and so on. Provided is a sustainable and renewable water-absorbent resin with excellent whiteness, which is suitable for mass consumption as disposal diapers or the like, and which can dispense with excessive purification of raw material acrylic acid. Also provided is a process for the production of a water-absorbent resin, which comprises: a step of preparing acrylic monomers; a step of polymerizing the monomers; and a step of drying the obtained aqueous gel, wherein the monomers at the time of polymerization contain at least 400ppm of propionic acid. |
