PLANT TISSUE TREATMENT METHOD FOR ACCELERATING DECOMPOSITION OF PLANT TISSUE, MAIN AGENT THEREFOR, RAW MATERIAL COMPOSITION EXTRACTED USING PLANT TISSUE TREATMENT METHOD, AND METHOD FOR REDUCING BULK OF PLANT TISSUE.

摘要

[Problem] To provide a plant tissue treatment agent and a plant tissue treatment method with which it is possible to cause a plant tissue or a plant-derived processed material to decompose without using a large-scale treatment device. [Solution] A treatment agent for a plant tissue or a plant-derived processed material, the treatment agent being added to a plant tissue or a plant-derived processed material and that accelerates a step for performing decomposition extraction treatment on the plant tissue or plant-derived processed material, wherein the treatment agent has lithium hydroxide as a main agent.s This plant tissue treatment agent is added to a plant tissue or a plant-derived processed material to accelerate a step for decomposing the plant tissue or the plant-derived processed material and a step for extracting a plant-derived substance. The invention may also be provided with a residue separation step after the step for performing decomposition extraction treatment on the plant tissue. Examples of the plant tissue include wood, grass, cardboard, paper products, and plant fragment residues contained in a pulp liquid discharged from a papermaking process. On the immersion liquid side and the plant tissue residue side, the plant-derived substance includes type-I cellulose. It is also possible to obtain glucose using cellulase.
