Abstract: A method of making cellulose polymer solution comprises dissolving a cellulose polymer raw material in a chlorine-free organic solvent system under a high temperature and a high pressure condition belonging to the nearcritical or the supercritical region of the system. By removing the solvent from the thus obtained cellulose polymer solution, cellulose polymer powders are also produced.

Abstract: The present invention provides a measuring method most suitable for measuring the concentrations of specific constituents, especially urine protein level and sugar level. After a protein-contained liquid sample is opacified by heating or while the sample is being heated, a light is projected to the liquid sample. The concentration of protein is determined from the intensity of light transmitted through the sample or scattered from the sample. In a urinalysis, an angle of rotation of the sample is measured before the sample is opacified, and in addition, intensity of the transmitted light or scattered light of the opacified urine is measured, whereby the urine sugar and protein levels are obtained.

Abstract: A producing method of a cellulose polymer powder is provided, which comprises dissolving a cellulose polymer by exposure to an organic solvent containing, as the main component, an ester-based solvent having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms, a ketone-based solvent having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms, or an alcohol-based solvent having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms, and carbon dioxide, and then removing the carbon dioxide and the organic solvent from the solution. A producing method of an organic solvent solution of a cellulose polymer is also provided.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of decomposition treating a waste article having cured thermosetting resin comprising the steps of: (a) bringing the waste article having cured thermosetting resin into contact with a decomposing fluid containing a solvent, which can decompose the resin, in a decomposition bath and (b) heating the fluid at a temperature not lower than 250° C. and lower than the critical temperature of the solvent.
