A method of producing a polyarylene sulfide (PAS) with a high nitrogen content in the PAS, the method thereof improving the characteristics of the PAS while reducing the amount of organic by-products, and using a plurality of reaction vessels that are in communication with each other through a gas phase. In the production method, a supply step, a water removal step, a polymerizing step, and a recovering step are performed in parallel. A polar organic solvent, a sulfur source, and a dihalo aromatic compound are used as reaction raw materials. A supply amount of the polar organic solvent used as a reaction raw material is 5 mol or less per mole of the sulfur source used as a reaction raw material. The polar organic solvent has a bond represented by —RO—N—, where R is C or P.

The continuous dehydration method for a raw material mixture to be used in the production of PAS includes supply and dehydration of the raw material mixture and extraction of the raw material mixture having a water content reduced by the dehydration, the supply, dehydration and extraction being carried out concurrently in parallel. A dehydration efficiency index determined according to Equation (1) is not less than 0.3. In Equation (1), the dehydration time is a period of time until a moisture content per mole of the sulfur source in the raw material mixture having a reduced water content reaches not greater than 1.7 mol, including moisture consumed by the hydrolysis of the organic polar solvent.
