Abstract: A synthetic adsorbent, where a maximum value of a differential pore volume under a pressure condition of 0.5 to 30.0 psia is greater than 0.05 mL/g. A method of measuring the differential pore volume includes reducing a pressure in a sample container where the synthetic adsorbent that has been dried is placed to 10 Pa or less, mercury is degassed by reducing the pressure to 10 Pa or less, and the sample container is filled with the mercury at a pressure of 0.5 psia, measuring a mercury intrusion amount when the pressure in the sample container filled with the mercury is increased from 0.5 to 30.0 psia, and calculating the differential pore volume by dividing an amount of an increase in the mercury intrusion amount when a first-stage pressure calculated based on the mercury intrusion amount measured in the measuring is increased, by a measured amount of the synthetic adsorbent.

A pressure application step of applying pressures to contact boundary surfaces of the first resin member and the second resin member in upward and downward directions includes warping, along a first welding portion, a one end portion side of the second resin member such that the warping occurs from a follow-up origin at a boundary between a thin portion and a thick base portion of the second resin member. Consequently, a gap between the contact boundary surfaces that is generated owing to a curved recess in the first welding portion can be eliminated, whereby imperfection of welding is ameliorated.
