The invention belongs to the field of chemical raw materials, and discloses a method and a
system for preparing a low-water-content
sodium sulfide / NMP (N-Methyl Pyrrolidone) mixture by dehydrating
sodium sulfide and application. The method comprises the following steps: at a target
dehydration temperature, continuously adding a
sodium sulfide aqueous solution into NMP at a preset flow rate, in the process, removing a part of a material containing water, NMP and
hydrogen sulfide from a
dehydration kettle, with the addition flow rate of the
sodium sulfide aqueous solution being equal to the amount of water removed from the
dehydration kettle at the target dehydration temperature; after the
sodium sulfide aqueous solution is added, returning materials in the dehydration
tower to the dehydration kettle to obtain the low-water-content
sodium sulfide / NMP mixture; optionally, the previous steps are repeated. The method provided by the invention has the advantages of high dehydration efficiency, good stability, low
water content, small difference between
water content and
sulfur source content in low-water-content sodium sulfide / NMP mixtures in different batches, and stable quality, and provides good
raw material support for obtaining high-quality polyphenylene sulfide, wherein the water /
sulfur molar ratio in the dehydrated sodium sulfide / NMP mixture is less than or equal to 1, and the difference between
water content and
sulfur source content in the low-water-content sodium sulfide / NMP mixtures in different batches is small.
