Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing polyarylene sulfide with a reduced free iodine content. More specifically, the method for preparing polyarylene sulfide includes: (a) polymerizing reactants including a diiodo aromatic compound and a sulfur compound to form a polyarylene sulfide; and (b) maintaining the polyarylene sulfide product at 100 to 260° C. for heat-setting. The preparation method of the present invention effectively reduces the free iodine content of the polyarylene sulfide to prevent potential corrosion of facilities for the subsequent process and improves the properties of the polyarylene sulfide product such as thermal stability, so the method can be usefully applied to industrial fields in regard to the preparation of polyarylene sulfide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing polyarylene sulfide, in which the polyarylene sulfide is prepared by a polymerization reaction of reactants including a diiodo aromatic compound and a sulfur compound, the method including: further adding 0.01 to 10.0 wt. % of diphenyl disulfide with respect to the weight of the polyarylene sulfide to the reactants to form the polyarylene sulfide having a melting point of 265 to 320° C. The diphenyl disulfide included in the reactants according to the present invention costs far less than other conventional polymerization inhibitors to dramatically lower the production cost, and the polyarylene sulfide prepared using the diphenyl disulfide exhibits low iodine content and very excellence in thermal stability.
