Abstract
To provide a polyarylene sulfide (hereinafter, PAS) manufacturing method and PAS manufacturing device that further eliminates processing costs in manufacturing PAS, by recovering from solid content containing an unreacted sulfur source and alkali metal halide produced as a byproduct the sulfur source and the solid content with a reduced amount of the sulfur source, and then conveniently and easily reusing the unreacted sulfur source without performing a large-scale process. A method of manufacturing PAS according to the present invention comprises: a polymerizing step of producing PAS; an extracting step of bringing an extraction solvent into content with solid content produced in the polymerizing step, and extracting at least a portion of a sulfur source from the solid content; a recovering step of separating and recovering the solid content passing through the extracting step and an extraction liquid produced in the extracting step; and a recycling step of supplying at least a portion of the extraction liquid preferably as at least a portion of PAS produced raw material in the polymerizing step; where the extraction solvent is (1) a protic organic solvent or (2) a mixed solvent c…
