Abstract:
A method is provided for recovering pulp fibers having little damage from a used absorbent article which includes a water permeable front sheet, a water impermeable back sheet and an absorbent body that contains pulp fibers and a superabsorbent polymer. At least one opening with a circle equivalent diameter of 5-45 mm, or 10-45 mm cut, is made in the front sheet and/or the back sheet of the used absorbent article, which is then agitated in an organic acid aqueous solution with a pH of less than or equal to 2.5, and the superabsorbent polymer is deactivated and the pulp fibers and superabsorbent polymer are discharged from the used absorbent article through the opening or cut.

Claim (Index 11):
The method according to  claim 10 , which further includes a step in which the mixture is passed through a screen having a mesh opening of 5 to 15 mm, for separation into a mixture containing the pulp fibers, the inactivated superabsorbent polymer and the organic acid aqueous solution, and a mixture containing the front sheet material and the back sheet material.
