  • Patent number: 12522697
    Abstract: Provided are a purification method for a polyarylene sulfide (PAS) that can efficiently reduce the amount of a carboxyalkylamino group-containing compound in the PAS by treating the carboxyalkylamino group-containing compound in the PAS under a low pressure without using a strong acid, and a production method for a PAS having a reduced amount of the carboxyalkylamino group-containing compound in the PAS. The purification method for a PAS includes: a step of obtaining a crude PAS-containing mixture by removing a solvent from a crude reaction product containing the PAS obtained by reacting a polyhalo aromatic compound with a sulfidizing agent in an organic polar solvent; a step of bringing the crude PAS mixture into contact with water and an oxygen atom-containing solvent to convert the crude PAS into porous particles; and a step of bringing the obtained porous particles into contact with carbonated water.
