Method for purifying non-aqueous solvent and method for pretreating ion exchange resin for purification of non-aqueous solvent

Abstract

A method for purifying a non-aqueous solvent includes: pretreating by passing a non-aqueous solvent for dehydration treatment through a packed bed of an ion exchange resin that is not yet subjected to dehydration treatment, to remove water in the ion exchange resin; and purifying by passing a non-aqueous solvent to be purified through the packed bed of the ion exchange resin from which water is removed during the pretreating, to purify the non-aqueous solvent to be purified, in which the harmonic-mean particle size of the ion exchange resin is 0.20 to 0.50 mm. According to the present application, a method for purifying a non-aqueous solvent can be provided, the method includes pretreating by removing water in a water-containing ion exchange resin by passing therethrough a non-aqueous solvent for dehydration treatment, in which the amount of the non-aqueous solvent for dehydration treatment used during the pretreating is small.
