Abstract
The objective of the present invention is to provide a method for inhibiting polymerization of (meth)acrylic acid and the like. By the method, the generation of deposit in a pipe, which is exclusively used for providing a solution of a dialkyldithiocarbamic acid copper salt to a distillation column and the like, is prevented, and the problems such as the clogging of the pipe and polymerization in the distillation column are solved. The method according to the present invention for inhibiting polymerization of (meth)acrylic acid and/or an ester thereof is characterized in comprising a step of inhibiting polymerization of (meth)acrylic acid and/or the ester thereof by using a solution of a dialkyldithiocarbamic acid copper salt dissolved in an organic solvent, wherein a content amount of copper sulfate in the solution of the dialkyldithiocarbamic acid copper salt is 100 ppm or less by mass.
