Reaction method for reacting reaction object with liquid containing the reaction object being in contact with granular porous body

A reaction method for reacting a reaction object with a liquid containing the reaction object being in contact with a granular porous body,

• wherein
• the reaction object is a compound having a molecular weight of 2000 or more and 1000000 or less,
• the method includes a non-circulation-type column flow method in which while a concentration of the reaction object in the liquid is kept constant, the liquid is caused to continuously pass through a column filled with the granular porous body, so that the liquid is diffused in the granular porous body,
• the granular porous body includes a skeleton body including an inorganic compound having a three-dimensional continuous network structure, and has a two-step hierarchical porous structure including through-holes formed in voids in the skeleton body, and pores extending from a surface to an inside of the skeleton body and dispersively formed on the surface,
• a most frequent pore diameter in a pore diameter distribution of the pores is within a range of 10 nm or more and 100 nm or less,
• a most frequent pore diameter in a pore diameter distribution of the through-holes is equal to or more than 5 times of the most frequent pore diameter of the pores, and within a range of 0.1 μm or more and 50 μm or less,
• a particle diameter of the granular porous body is equal to or more than 2 times of the most frequent pore diameter of the through-holes, and within a range of 20 μm or more and not more than an upper limit D (mm) determined depending on a contact time T (seconds) between the liquid and the granular porous body,
• the upper limit D is given by:
• D=″0.198×LN(T)+0.270″
• where the function LN is a natural logarithm, and
• the contact time T is given by a value obtained by dividing a volume (m3) of the granular porous body by a flow rate (m3/second) of the liquid.
