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.

A continuous acoustic chemical microreactor system is disclosed. The system includes a continuous process vessel (CPV) and an acoustic agitator coupled to the CPV and configured to agitate the CPV along an oscillation axis. The CPV includes a reactant inlet configured to receive one or more reactants into the CPV, an elongated tube coupled at a first end to the reactant inlet and configured to receive the reactants from the reactant inlet, and a product outlet coupled to a second end of the elongated tube and configured to discharge a product of a chemical reaction among the reactants from the CPV. The acoustic agitator is configured to agitate the CPV along the oscillation axis such that the inner surface of the elongated tube accelerates the one or more reactants in alternating upward and downward directions along the oscillation axis.
