Abstract:
A carbonaceous material manufacturing method, the method comprising the steps of:providing an apparatus including an anode composed of a carbonaceous material and a cathode composed of a carbonaceous material and opposed to the anode such that an arc discharge portion is defined between the anode and the cathode in a reaction tube defining a carbonaceous material generating chamber, wherein the arc discharge portion produces an arc to generate carbonaceous materials when a voltage is applied across the anode and the cathode while the arc discharge portion is exposed to an atmospheric gas, and the atmospheric gas is supplied to flow in a predetermined direction enabling the atmospheric gas to pass through the discharge portion in the reaction tube; and recovering the generated carbonaceous materials in a carbonaceous material capturer located downstream of the arc discharge portion with respect to the flowing direction of the atmospheric gas while heating the carbonaceous material capturer.
