Abstract

A process for preparing a polyarylene sulfide involves dehydrating a mixture of a hydrous sulfur source and an organic polar solvent under a reduced pressure in a rectification tower and contacting a dihalogen aromatic compound with a dehydrated sulfur source in the organic polar solvent. This process provides the polyarylene sulfide with a white color and a higher molecular weight.
