METHOD FOR PRODUCING HYDROCARBON

摘要

Disclosed is a method for producing a hydrocarbon, in which a C5 or greater hydrocarbon is synthesized from a C1-4 hydrocarbon raw material in a gas state using a catalyst containing a metal or a metal compound. This method synthesizes a C5 or greater hydrocarbon by supplying a C1-4 hydrocarbon gas to a catalyst while irradiating microwaves to heat the catalyst to a temperature range of 400-900°C. The catalyst preferably contains a substance having the ability to absorb microwaves and convert the microwaves into heat.
