The invention relates to a solvent recovery process in the production of polyarylene sulfide resin. The solvent recovery process is characterized by comprising the following steps of 1), arranging a set of extraction equipment behind a mixed solvent tank at a solvent recovery working section in the production of the polyarylene sulfide resin, extracting by using an extracting agent, and sending awater phase generated by the extraction equipment into additive recovery equipment; 2), enabling an oil phase generated by the extraction equipment to enter distillation equipment to obtain the extracting agent and NMP (N-Methylpyrrolidone). The solvent recovery process has the advantages that the equipment is simplified, an operation condition is simplified, a recovery rate of the solvent is improved, and the loss of the solvent is decreased.
