A reactor for irradiating microwaves to perform a decomposition reaction of coals includes a gas supply unit, a microwave generation unit, and a reaction unit. A supply gas adjusted to a predetermined component ratio by a gas mixer is introduced into a reaction section composed of a reaction tube that does not absorb microwaves, such as a quartz glass tube. The reaction tube is filled with coal, but it is preferable to use a vertical type from the viewpoint of observing the behavior in the tube when plasma is generated.
