1. A method for producing fullerenes, comprising:

  • a first process of either imperfectly combusting or thermally decomposing a hydrocarbon fuel in a reactor, thereby producing a high-temperature gas flow containing fullerenes and soot;

    a second process of collecting a mixture of the fullerenes and the soot from the gas flow containing the fullerenes and the soot using a filtering unit, said filtering unit including a heat-resistant filtering member made of either one of a porous ceramic material and a porous metal material as a raw material; and

    a third process of collecting the fullerenes from the mixture.
