A hydrocarbon is produced by applying mechanical energy to a metal body containing stainless steel by solid-solid contact so that a contact pressure per unit area is 30 kPa or more, in the presence of a gas containing carbon dioxide and a hydrogen source, thereby adding hydrogen to carbon dioxide. Further, a hydrocarbon is produced by providing a reaction vessel for applying mechanical energy to a metal body by solid-solid contact in the presence of a gas containing carbon dioxide and a hydrogen source, a gas introduction unit for introducing the gas containing carbon dioxide to the reaction vessel, a hydrogen source introduction unit for introducing the hydrogen source to the reaction vessel, and a gas discharge unit for discharging a gas containing the hydrocarbon produced in the reaction vessel, and adding hydrogen to the carbon dioxide in the reaction vessel.

An object is to provide a light irradiation apparatus irradiating a light to a sample in a reaction vessel while stirring the sample more efficiently. A rotating stage can rotate around a first axis that is a central axis thereof. A holding mechanism holds reaction vessels whose longitudinal directions are a direction of the central axis on a circumference around the first axis on the rotating stage at equal intervals. Rotation mechanisms hold bottoms of the reaction vessels and rotate the reaction vessels around second axes that are central axes of the reaction vessels, respectively. A light irradiation mechanism is disposed on the rotating stage and irradiates a light emitted from at least one light emitting diode to the reaction vessels from a predetermined direction.

Light irradiation mechanisms are arranged on a circumference outside of the rotating stage and at least one light emitting diode is disposed in each light irradiation mechanism. Stirring mechanisms are arranged in the vicinity of the reaction vessels and rotate stir bars around axes of directions orthogonal to the second axes by magnetic force, respectively.

The invention relates to a method for producing magnetite with a purity of no less than 90% and higher than 98%, by oxidation of pulverized wustite (iron oxide), at temperatures ranging from 200 C. to 800 C., with the addition of water in liquid or steam form, in counter-current or concurrently, in an externally heated reaction chamber with a controlled atmosphere. The amount of water used to oxidize the wustite being 60 to 500 ml per kilogram of wustite, the grains of wustite powder are injected into the reaction chamber having a size no greater than 100 m for optimal reaction.

A process of conversion of fuel grade coke produced through thermal cracking of heavy petroleum residue to anode grade coke. The process employs high sulfur fuel grade coke as the feedstock to produce low sulfur coke, which can be used to manufacture electrodes for use in the aluminum industry. A related system is adapted to remove metal content from coke and convert fuel grade coke to anode grade coke.
