Abstract

A method for recovering cyclic oligomers from a poly(arylene sulfide) polymer or poly(arylene sulfide) polymerization reaction mixture is provided in which the cyclic oligomers are maintained in a solution comprising a suitable solvent and the cyclic oligomers; then the solution is contacted with water to cause the formation of a suspension; then the suspension is acidified to cause the flocculation of cyclic oligomers which can then be more easily recovered.
