Abstract
A drying apparatus of porous material includes a reduced-pressure fermentation dryer configured to: store porous material containing water in an airtight container; heat and stir the porous material under reduced pressure so that a temperature of the porous material is within a predetermined temperature range; feed microorganisms into the airtight container so that the microorganisms enter pores of the porous material; and evaporate the water contained in the porous material by fermentation heat by the microorganisms so as to dry the porous material.
