The invention discloses a method for synthesizing low-chloride polyphenylene sulfide resin, comprising the following steps: taking sodium sulfide and p-dichlorobenzene with the molar ratio of 1:1 as raw materials, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone as a solvent, and carrying out polycondensation to generate the polyphenylene sulfide resin under the action of alkali metal cosolvent. The synthesizing process mainly comprises the following steps: adding adjuvant lithium aluminum hydride in the dewatering phase of sodium sulfide; adding molecular weight regulator and deionizer in the polycondensation stage; and adopting an extraction process in the resin recovery stage. The product obtained in the invention has low content of halogen element, relative low polydispersion coefficient, very narrow molecularweight distribution, high oxygen index and other excellent performance indexes, can be used as products such as injection moulds, extrusion moulds, fibers, films and the like, can be widely used in the fields such as machinery, chemical industry, electrical and electronic products, military project, aerospace and the like, and is particularly applied to electrical and electronic field with very excellent electrical insulation property.
