Abstract: A negative pressure is generated in an upper space of a canister due to a suction force of a suction source and, then, a negative pressure is generated in a waste liquid receiving space of a cylindrical body in response to the generation of the negative pressure in the upper space . At this stage of the operation, a first covering member that covers a first opening that opens facing the upper space in a waste liquid treating agent storing portion plastically deforms upward by a suction force caused by a negative pressure in the upper space. On the other hand, when a depressing force that pushes the first covering member downward is applied to the first covering member in a state where an opening and closing lid of the canister is opened so that a negative pressure in the upper space is released, the depressing force is transmitted to a second covering member so that the second covering member is broken.

The carbon member obtained in the dealloying step is graphitized by heating in a graphitization step. The carbon member graphitized in the graphitization step is subjected to activation treatment by an activation step.
