Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a supported metal catalyst, a method for synthesizing ammonia using said catalyst, and a supported metal material in which a transition metal is supported on a support, wherein the support is a metal hydride represented by general formula (1): XHn . . . (1); and in general formula (1), X represents at least one selected from the group consisting of atoms from Groups 2 and 3, and lanthanoid atoms, and n is in a range of 2<n<3.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A catalyst, comprising: a supported metal material comprising: at least one transition metal selected from the group consisting of Ru, Co and Fe, and a support loading the transition metal, wherein the support is a metal hydride represented by formula (1): XH n   (1) wherein, X represents at least one atom selected from the group consisting of Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Sc, Y and lanthanoid atoms, and n is in a range of 2≤n≤3, and wherein the catalyst catalyzes the production of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen gases. 2. A method of producing ammonia, comprising: bringing a raw material gas containing hydrogen and nitrogen into contact with the catalyst according to claim 1 to obtain ammonia. 3. The method of producing ammonia according to claim 2 , wherein a reaction temperature when bringing the raw material gas into contact with the catalyst is from 100° C. to 600° C. 4. The method of producing ammonia according to claim 2 , wherein a reaction pressure when bringing the raw material gas into contact with the catalyst is from 10 kPa to 20 MPa. 5. The method of producing ammonia according to claim 2 , wherein a water content of the raw material gas is 100 ppm or less. 6. The method of producing ammonia according to claim 2 , wherein a volume ratio of hydrogen to nitrogen (H 2 /N 2 (volume/volume)) when bringing the raw material gas into contact with the catalyst is 0.4 or more. 7. The catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein a loading amount of the transition metal with respect to the support is 0.01% to 30 mass %. 8. The catalyst, according to claim 1 , wherein the metal hydride is CaH 2 .
