2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, high purity anhydrous alkali metal sulfide has been required as a raw material in the fields of engineering plastics and pharmaceuticals. Above all, in polyarylene sulfide which is a typical super engineering plastic, anhydrous sodium sulfide has been conventionally used as a sulfur carry which is a raw material for the polymerization, but the present applicant has made a reaction between polyarylene sulfide resin and sodium chloride. A method using an anhydrous lithium sulfide having excellent characteristics such as easy separation has been proposed (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-207027). This lithium sulfide is expensive, and industrial production is still a reality,
The situation has not been carried out, and it is urgently required to develop a manufacturing method that can provide inexpensive and high-quality products. As a method for producing lithium sulfide, (1) a method in which elemental lithium and sulfur are heated to a melting point or higher (Troost L. Ann. Chim. Phys., 1875, 51)
(3), p.103), (2) Method of reducing lithium sulfate with carbon, hydrogen, or ammonia while heating (by Ke V Samsonov and Es V. Drosdova Sulfide Handbook-Physical Properties and Phase Diagram- ) And (3) a method of reacting an alkali metal hydroxide with hydrogen sulfide in a non-polar proton solvent to synthesize lithium hydrosulfide, and then removing hydrogen sulfide (JP-A-7-330312 by the present applicant). Proposed.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION [Production Method of High-Purity Anhydrous Alkali Metal Sulfide] [First Invention] The first invention of the present invention employs a pressure of 2 mmHg.
abs. Hydrogen sulfide gas is blown into a solution comprising an alkali metal hydroxide and an aprotic organic solvent under a reaction condition of ~ 2.0 kg / cm 2 G and a temperature of 50 ~ 250 ° C, and dehydration and desulfurization are performed while heating. Hydrogen and after the residual moisture in the system has been substantially eliminated, stop blowing hydrogen sulfide,
This is a method for producing anhydrous alkali metal sulfide, which comprises removing hydrogen sulfide while heating. (1) Reaction conditions The present invention employs a pressure of 2 mmHgabs. ~ 2.0kg / cm
2 G, temperature 50-250 ° C, preferably pressure 400 mmH
gabs. ~ 1.5kg / cm 2 G, temperature 100 ~ 200
The reaction is carried out under a reaction condition of ° C. That is, if the reaction pressure exceeds 2 kg / cm 2 G, the specifications of the pressure vessel become more severe, which is economically disadvantageous, and the reaction temperature becomes 50 ° C.
If it is lower, the solubility of the alkali metal hydroxide is low, and if an azeotropic agent is used, the concentration of the azeotropic agent in the liquid phase increases, and the solubility of the alkali metal hydroxide further decreases. The reaction becomes difficult to proceed. Reaction temperature 2
When the temperature is higher than 50 ° C., the pressure is increased, which is not preferable. In addition, the decomposition of the aprotic organic solvent may have an adverse effect. In a preferred embodiment of the reaction conditions, the gas absorption reaction is preferably performed at a low temperature, and the gas desorption reaction is preferably performed at a high temperature, but taking into consideration the characteristics of a heat-labile aprotic organic solvent. The conditions of low temperature and low pressure described above are good.

(6) Production Under the above reaction conditions, an alkali metal hydroxide is reacted with hydrogen sulfide in an aprotic organic solvent to produce an alkali metal hydrosulfide. Since hydrosulfide and alkali metal sulfide are hydrolyzed,
Dehydration is performed to suppress the hydrolysis reaction. That is,
In the present invention, a hydrogen sulfide gas is blown into a liquid, and dehydration and dehydrosulfide are performed while heating. The injection of hydrogen sulfide gas not only acts to generate alkali metal hydrosulfide from alkali metal hydroxide, but also suppresses the hydrolysis of the generated alkali metal hydrosulfide and alkali metal sulfide. do. Therefore, the process is continued until the residual moisture in the system is substantially eliminated. The phrase “substantially no residual moisture in the system” means that the water concentration in the reaction solution is 5% by weight or less, more preferably 0.5% by weight or less. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the alkali metal hydroxide generated by the hydrolysis from being mixed into the alkali metal sulfide as the final product, and it is possible to reduce the alkali metal / sulfur molar ratio to 2.10 or less. . In addition,
The pressure of hydrogen sulfide to be blown may be normal pressure or pressurized,
The flow rate of the blowing gas is not particularly limited, and the blowing time is equal to or longer than the time obtained by dividing the required amount of hydrogen sulfide calculated from the usage rate of the hydrogen sulfide by the flow rate of the blowing gas, that is, alkali metalized water.
