The article deals with the synthesis of fullerene-containing soot using high-voltage AC plasma torch. The plasma torch consists of three electric arc channels with three graphite rod electrodes. Orthoxylene vapors are fed into the arc zone of the plasma torch, and argon is used as a protective gas. In the plasma torch orthoxylene decomposes under the action of an electric arc. The prodused soot contains 5.4% C 60 fullerene and 1.6% C 70 fullerene.
