Abstract
A method for producing carbon using less thermal energy is disclosed. Crystalline cellulose and acidic electrolyzed water are introduced into a reaction vessel. The mixture is heated until it reaches a predetermined temperature (230° C. to 250° C.) while being stirred. When the mixture reached the predetermined temperature, this temperature is maintained, and the mixture is kept heated while being stirred for a predetermined period of time (30 minutes). Thereby, carbon is produced in the reaction vessel.
Claims3
A carbon manufacturing method for producing carbon using cellulose as a starting material, the method comprising the steps of:
- introducing cellulose and acidic electrolyzed water that has been produced by an electrolytic method, into a sealing reaction vessel;
- heating a mixture of the cellulose and the acidic electrolyzed water to a predetermined temperature while stirring the mixture;
- retaining the heated mixture, when reached the predetermined temperature, under a saturated vapor pressure for a predetermined period of time while stirring the mixture at the predetermined temperature;
- and
- cooling the mixture, retained at the saturated vapor pressure for the predetermined period of time, to a room temperature.
