<p>A method for producing a fullerene is disclosed wherein a material hydrocarbon-containing gas and an oxygen-containing gas are discharged into a fullerene reactor (11) through a discharge unit (21) of a burner (16) arranged in the fullerene reactor (11), and burned to produce a fullerene. In this method, the average discharging rate at which the material hydrocarbon-containing gas and oxygen-containing gas are discharged through the discharge unit (21) into the fullerene reactor (11) is set at a rate higher than 0.75 m/second but not higher than 10 m/second, preferably at a rate not lower than 1 m/second but not higher than 6 m/second, thereby increasing the fullerene yield relative to carbon in the material hydrocarbon-containing gas and the fullerene content in the produced soot-like substance. With this method, the production volume of fullerene pre unit time can be increased when compared with the conventional methods.</p> |
