  • Publication number: 20180366739
    Abstract: A sheet having undergone the process of applying catalyst ink onto at least part of a surface of a transported sheet to a predetermined thickness is dried so that a solvent evaporating from the catalyst ink is recovered, and the sheet having undergone the process of transferring a catalyst layer formed on the transported sheet after the solvent evaporates onto another member so that the catalyst layer is removed is cleaned by using the recovered solvent as cleaning liquid so that at least part of the residue of at least the catalyst ink left on the sheet is removed. The thus cleaned transported sheet, when the usage count thereof is smaller than or equal to a quality assurance count, is reused in the application of the catalyst ink. As a result, in the manufacture of the catalyst layer using the catalyst ink, the amount of emission toward the outside is reduced.
