Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a method for manufacturing a catalyst with which it is possible to obtain a supported metal ammonia synthesis catalyst, in which there are restrictions in terms of producing method and producing facility, and particularly large restrictions for industrial-scale producing, in a more simple manner and so that the obtained catalyst has a high activity. This method for manufacturing an ammonia synthesis catalyst includes: a first step for preparing 12CaO·7Al 2 O 3 having a specific surface area of 5 m 2 /g or above; a second step for supporting a ruthenium compound on the 12CaO·7Al 2 O 3 ; and a third step for performing a reduction process on the 12CaO·7Al 2 O 3 supporting the ruthenium compound, obtained in the second step. This invention is characterized in that the reduction process is performed until the average particle diameter of the ruthenium after the reduction process has increased by at least 15% in relation to the average particle diameter of the ruthenium before the reduction process.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing ammonia, the method comprising: contacting a gas containing nitrogen and hydrogen with a catalyst, wherein the catalyst comprises a metal-supported material comprising: 12CaO·7Al 2 O 3 ; and plural kinds of metal atoms supported on the 12CaO·7Al 2 O 3 , wherein a specific surface area of the 12CaO·7Al 2 O 3 is 5 m 2 /g or more; and the plural kinds of metal atoms comprises a metal ruthenium, and an alkali metal atom or an alkaline earth metal atom. 2. The method for manufacturing ammonia according to claim 1 , wherein the alkaline earth metal atom is barium.
