the present invention relates to a process for continuously recycling water soluble resin whereby a resin solution including about 6 - 12 percent by weight of resin is sprayed onto a core made of the resin . the resin used for the solution and core is selected from polyacrylic acid , copolymers of acrylic acid and acrylamide , copolymers of acrylic acid salt and ethyl acrylate , copolymers of acrylamide and acrylic acid , polymethacrylic acid , and copolymers of vinyl alcohol and vinyl acetate . the spraying of the resin solution dissolves the core to form a polymer suspension from which resin is recovered for reuse .
