Disclosed is a method for purifying a compound selected from a compound represented by formula [1] or [2], a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon which has no substituent, and kerosene, characterized by removing impurities contained in the compound through a first step of bringing the compound into contact with ozone gas, and then a second step of bringing the compound into contact with an adsorbent selected from a zeolite and a basic adsorbent. In formula [1], R represents a halogen atom or a lower alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and n represents an integer of 1 to 5. In formula [2], R is the same as above, and p and q each independently represent an integer of 0 to 4, however, at least one of p and q is not 0. |
