APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING FULLERENE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for continuously performing the production of a fullerene and the separation of the fullerene from another soot component in one apparatus and for continuously producing a large amount of fullerene and a method for producing the fullerene using it. SOLUTION: The apparatus for producing the fullerene has a fullerene generating device to generate a gas stream which contains the fullerene, a polycyclic aromatic compound and a soot material containing a carbon base polymer component from a carbonous raw material and a separator to separate a gaseous fullerene and/or a gaseous polycyclic aromatic compound from the gas stream containing the soot material.
