Next, the catalytic reaction solution for decomposing cellulose by using nickel oxyhydroxide as a catalyst is subjected to a decomposition reaction of cellulose while stirring by using a stirring blade and heating at a temperature rising rate of 5° C./min. The reaction is carried out under autogenous pressure (saturated vapor pressure of water) in the reactor. After the temperature of the catalytic reaction solution has reached a prescribed temperature, the resulting catalytic reaction solution is heated for one hour and then cooled to room temperature at a rate of about 3° C./min. | 09-18-2008 |
