［マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒］
本実施形態のマイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒は、担体と、担体上に担持され、ニッケル、コバルト及び鉄からなる群より選択される少なくとも１種の遷移金属を主成分とする金属粒子と、を備える。
[Ammonia decomposition catalyst for microwave heating]
The ammonia-decomposing catalyst for microwave heating according to the present embodiment comprises a carrier and metal particles supported on the carrier and mainly composed of at least one transition metal selected from the group consisting of nickel, cobalt, and iron. Prepare.
（担体）
担体は、アンモニア分解反応において触媒作用を示す金属粒子を、安定かつ高分散に担持する物質である。ここで、高分散に担持するとは、担体の表面上における金属粒子の担持密度が担体の全表面にわたって均一又は均一に近い状態であることを意味する。担体に、金属粒子が高分散に担持されると、担体の表面上で隣接する金属粒子同士の間隔が均一又は均一に近い状態になる。
(Carrier)
The carrier is a substance that stably and highly disperses metal particles that exhibit a catalytic action in the ammonia decomposition reaction. Here, “supported highly dispersed” means that the support density of the metal particles on the surface of the support is in a state of being uniform or nearly uniform over the entire surface of the support. When the metal particles are supported on the support in a highly dispersed state, the distance between adjacent metal particles on the surface of the support becomes uniform or nearly uniform.
担体は、典型金属の多孔質酸化物及び遷移金属の多孔質酸化物の少なくともいずれか一方であることが好ましい。例として、担体は、酸化アルミニウム（γ−Ａｌ２Ｏ３）、酸化マグネシウム（ＭｇＯ）、酸化ジルコニウム（ＺｒＯ２）、イットリア安定ジルコニア（ＹＳＺ）、ＮａＹ型ゼオライト、超安定化Ｙ型ゼオライト（ＵＳＹ型ゼオライト）、ルチル型酸化チタン（ルチル型ＴｉＯ２）、アナターゼ型酸化チタン（アナターゼ型ＴｉＯ２）及びルチル−アナターゼ混晶型酸化チタンからなる群より選択される少なくとも１種の金属酸化物であることが好ましい。担体として、このような金属酸化物を用いた場合、加熱助剤の共存下でマイクロ波の照射で加熱しやすいためである。なお、酸化アルミニウム（γ−Ａｌ２Ｏ３）とイットリア安定ジルコニア（ＹＳＺ）を担体として用いた場合は加熱助剤の添加が無くともマイクロ波の照射で加熱しやすい。 The support is preferably at least one of a typical metal porous oxide and a transition metal porous oxide. For example, the carrier is aluminum oxide (γ-Al 2 O 3 ), magnesium oxide (MgO), zirconium oxide (ZrO 2 ), yttria stable zirconia (YSZ), NaY type zeolite, ultra-stabilized Y type zeolite (USY type). Zeolite), rutile type titanium oxide (rutile type TiO 2 ), anatase type titanium oxide (anatase type TiO 2 ), and at least one metal oxide selected from the group consisting of rutile-anatase mixed crystal type titanium oxide. Is preferred. This is because when such a metal oxide is used as a carrier, it can be easily heated by microwave irradiation in the presence of a heating aid. When aluminum oxide (γ-Al 2 O 3) and yttria-stable zirconia (YSZ) are used as a carrier, heating is easily performed by irradiation with microwaves without the addition of a heating aid.
また、アンモニア分解活性を向上させるという観点から、担体は、酸化アルミニウム、イットリア安定ジルコニア及び超安定化Ｙ型ゼオライトからなる群より選択される少なくとも１種の金属酸化物であるとより好ましい。一方、加熱助剤の共存下でマイクロ波の照射で加熱しやすくするという観点から、担体は、酸化ジルコニウム、ＮａＹ型ゼオライト、超安定化Ｙ型ゼオライト、ルチル型酸化チタン、アナターゼ型酸化チタン及びルチル−アナターゼ混晶型酸化チタンからなる群より選択される少なくとも１種の金属酸化物であるとより好ましい。なお、アンモニア分解活性を向上させ、かつ、マイクロ波の照射で加熱しやすくするという観点から、担体が超安定化Ｙ型ゼオライトであることがさらに好ましい。 From the viewpoint of improving ammonia decomposition activity, the support is more preferably at least one metal oxide selected from the group consisting of aluminum oxide, yttria-stable zirconia, and ultra-stabilized Y-type zeolite.

Note that it is more preferable that the carrier is a porous oxide of yttria-stable zirconia because it can be easily heated by microwave irradiation.
担体のメディアン径は、１００〜６５０μｍであることが好ましく、２５０〜５００μｍであることがより好ましい。担体のメディアン径が上記範囲内にあると、マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒がマイクロ波で制御性よく加熱され、かつ、アンモニアガスの流路に配置した場合に、圧力損失が生じにくくなるためである。 The median diameter of the carrier is preferably 100 to 650 μm, and more preferably 250 to 500 μm. If the median diameter of the carrier is in the above range, the ammonia-decomposing catalyst for microwave heating is heated with good controllability by the microwave, and pressure loss is less likely to occur when it is placed in the ammonia gas flow path. is there.

金属粒子は、アンモニア分解反応において触媒作用を示す物質を含み、担体上に担持される粒子である。金属粒子は、ニッケル、コバルト及び鉄からなる群より選択される少なくとも１種の遷移金属を主成分とする。ここで、上記遷移金属を主成分とするとは、金属粒子中において、上記遷移金属の合計が５０質量％を超える量であることを意味する。ニッケル、コバルト及び鉄は、触媒作用が高くかつ安価であるため好ましい。なお、コスト低減の観点からは、金属粒子は貴金属を含まないことが好ましい。
(Metal particles)
The metal particles include particles that show a catalytic action in the ammonia decomposition reaction and are particles supported on a carrier. The metal particles are mainly composed of at least one transition metal selected from the group consisting of nickel, cobalt and iron. Here, having the transition metal as a main component means that the total amount of the transition metals is more than 50% by mass in the metal particles. Nickel, cobalt and iron are preferable because they have high catalytic action and are inexpensive. From the viewpoint of cost reduction, the metal particles preferably do not contain a noble metal.
金属粒子は、粒径が担体よりも小さく、担体の表面に担持される。本実施形態に係るマイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒は、通常、担体の表面に、多数の金属粒子が担持されたものになっている。 The metal particles are smaller than the carrier and are supported on the surface of the carrier. The ammonia-decomposing catalyst for microwave heating according to the present embodiment is usually one in which a large number of metal particles are supported on the surface of a carrier.
担体と金属粒子との組合せは、特に限定されず、上述した任意の担体と任意の金属粒子とを組み合わせて使用することができる。担体と金属粒子との好ましい組み合わせは、酸化アルミニウムとコバルトとの組み合わせ、酸化アルミニウムとニッケルとの組み合わせ、酸化アルミニウムと鉄との組み合わせ、イットリア安定ジルコニアとコバルトとの組み合わせ、イットリア安定ジルコニアとニッケルとの組み合わせ、イットリア安定ジルコニアと鉄との組み合わせ、超安定化Ｙ型ゼオライトとコバルトとの組み合わせ、超安定化Ｙ型ゼオライトとニッケルとの組み合わせ及び超安定化Ｙ型ゼオライトと鉄との組み合わせからなる群より選択される少なくとも１種である。これらの組み合わせは、アンモニア分解活性が高いためである。 The combination of a support | carrier and a metal particle is not specifically limited, It can use combining the arbitrary support | carriers and arbitrary metal particles mentioned above. Preferred combinations of the support and the metal particles include a combination of aluminum oxide and cobalt, a combination of aluminum oxide and nickel, a combination of aluminum oxide and iron, a combination of yttria stable zirconia and cobalt, and a combination of yttria stable zirconia and nickel. From the group consisting of a combination, a combination of yttria-stabilized zirconia and iron, a combination of super-stabilized Y-type zeolite and cobalt, a combination of super-stabilized Y-type zeolite and nickel, and a combination of super-stabilized Y-type zeolite and iron At least one selected. This is because these combinations have high ammonia decomposition activity.
また、担体と金属粒子とのより好ましい組み合わせは、超安定化Ｙ型ゼオライトとコバルトとの組み合わせ、超安定化Ｙ型ゼオライトとニッケルとの組み合わせ及び超安定化Ｙ型ゼオライトと鉄との組み合わせである。これらの組み合わせは、アンモニア分解活性が高く、マイクロ波の照射でより加熱しやすいためである。なお、担体と金属粒子とのさらに好ましい組み合わせは、超安定化Ｙ型ゼオライトとコバルトとの組み合わせである。 More preferable combinations of the support and the metal particles are a combination of super-stabilized Y-type zeolite and cobalt, a combination of super-stabilized Y-type zeolite and nickel, and a combination of super-stabilized Y-type zeolite and iron. . This is because these combinations have high ammonia decomposing activity and are more easily heated by microwave irradiation. A more preferable combination of the support and the metal particles is a combination of ultra-stabilized Y-type zeolite and cobalt.
担体への金属粒子の担持量は、担体と金属粒子との合計１００質量％に対して、１〜２０質量％であることが好ましい。担体への金属粒子の担持量が１質量％以上の場合、アンモニア分解活性が高く、担体への金属粒子の担持量が２０質量％以下の場合、マイクロ波の照射で加熱しやすいためである。なお、担体への金属粒子の担持量は、担体と金属粒子と合計１００質量％に対して、３〜１０質量％であることが好ましく、５〜１０質量％であることがさらに好ましい。担体への金属粒子の担持量がこのような範囲であることにより、さらにアンモニア分解活性が高く、マイクロ波の照射で加熱しやすいためである。 The amount of the metal particles supported on the carrier is preferably 1 to 20% by mass with respect to 100% by mass in total of the carrier and the metal particles. This is because when the amount of the metal particles supported on the carrier is 1% by mass or more, the ammonia decomposition activity is high, and when the amount of the metal particles supported on the carrier is 20% by mass or less, it is easy to heat by microwave irradiation. The amount of the metal particles supported on the carrier is preferably 3 to 10% by mass, and more preferably 5 to 10% by mass with respect to 100% by mass in total of the carrier and the metal particles. This is because the amount of metal particles supported on the carrier is in such a range, the ammonia decomposing activity is higher, and it is easy to heat by microwave irradiation.
担体は、キレート処理された担体であると、マイクロ波の照射で加熱しやすく、かつ、アンモニア分解活性が高くなるため好ましい。具体的には、マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒は、担体にキレート剤を含浸させ、乾燥させた後、担体に金属粒子を担持して得られたものであると好ましい。その理由は、担体表面での金属粒子の分散性が高くなることに起因すると考えられる。キレート剤としては、例えば、エチレンジアミン四酢酸（ＥＤＴＡ）、ニトリロ三酢酸（ＮＴＡ）等を用いることができる。 The carrier is preferably a chelate-treated carrier because it can be easily heated by microwave irradiation and has high ammonia decomposing activity. Specifically, the ammonia decomposition catalyst for microwave heating is preferably obtained by impregnating a carrier with a chelating agent and drying it, and then supporting metal particles on the carrier. The reason is considered to be due to the high dispersibility of the metal particles on the surface of the carrier. As the chelating agent, for example, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), or the like can be used.
キレート剤は、担体９５質量部に対して１〜１０質量部含浸させることが好ましく、３〜７質量部含浸させることがより好ましい。 The chelating agent is preferably impregnated with 1 to 10 parts by mass, more preferably 3 to 7 parts by mass with respect to 95 parts by mass of the carrier.
（助触媒）
マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒は、担体又は金属粒子上に、アルカリ金属及びアルカリ土類金属の少なくともいずれか一方を含む助触媒がさらに担持されることが好ましい。マイクロ波の照射で加熱しやすく、かつ、アンモニア分解活性が高くなるためである。
(Cocatalyst)
It is preferable that the ammonia decomposition catalyst for microwave heating further supports a promoter containing at least one of alkali metal and alkaline earth metal on a support or metal particles. This is because it is easy to heat by microwave irradiation and the ammonia decomposition activity is increased.
助触媒を構成するアルカリ金属としては、例えば、ナトリウム、カリウム、ルビジウム及びセシウムからなる群より選択される少なくとも１種の元素を含む物質が用いられる。また、助触媒を構成するアルカリ土類金属としては、例えば、マグネシウム、カルシウム、ストロンチウム及びバリウムからなる群より選択される少なくとも１種の元素を含む物質が用いられる。このうち、助触媒が、カリウム及びルビジウムの少なくともいずれか一方の元素を含む物質である場合、マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒がマイクロ波の照射でより加熱しやすく、かつ、アンモニア分解活性がより高くなるため好ましい。 As the alkali metal constituting the promoter, for example, a substance containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of sodium, potassium, rubidium and cesium is used. Further, as the alkaline earth metal constituting the promoter, for example, a substance containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of magnesium, calcium, strontium and barium is used. Among these, when the promoter is a substance containing at least one element of potassium and rubidium, the ammonia-decomposing catalyst for microwave heating is more easily heated by microwave irradiation and has a higher ammonia-decomposing activity. Therefore, it is preferable.
（アンモニア前処理）
マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒は、アンモニア前処理されると、マイクロ波の照射で加熱しやすく、かつ、アンモニア分解活性が高くなるため好ましい。ここで、アンモニア前処理とは、マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒を、触媒としての使用前に、高温のアンモニアで熱処理することを意味する。アンモニアでの熱処理温度は、通常、４００℃以上、好ましくは５００〜８００℃である。
(Ammonia pretreatment)
The ammonia-decomposing catalyst for microwave heating is preferably pretreated with ammonia because it is easy to heat by microwave irradiation and the ammonia decomposing activity is high. Here, the ammonia pretreatment means that the ammonia decomposition catalyst for microwave heating is heat-treated with high-temperature ammonia before use as a catalyst. The heat treatment temperature with ammonia is usually 400 ° C. or higher, preferably 500 to 800 ° C.
マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒は、アンモニア前処理を行うと、マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒における、担体及び金属粒子の少なくとも一方の表面に、窒素含有物質が形成される場合がある。窒素含有物質は一般的に誘電体材料として広く知られており、その窒素含有物質が形成されることで電気特性が変化しマイクロ波の照射で加熱しやすくなる可能性があり、かつ、アンモニアの分解反応が促進される場合があるため好ましい。 When the ammonia decomposition catalyst for microwave heating is subjected to ammonia pretreatment, a nitrogen-containing substance may be formed on the surface of at least one of the carrier and the metal particles in the ammonia decomposition catalyst for microwave heating. Nitrogen-containing substances are generally widely known as dielectric materials, and the formation of the nitrogen-containing substances may change the electrical characteristics and facilitate heating by microwave irradiation. This is preferable because the decomposition reaction may be accelerated.
本実施形態のマイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒は、アンモニア存在下でマイクロ波を照射すると、担体及び金属粒子がマイクロ波を良好に吸収し、迅速に加熱される。そのため、本実施形態のマイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒は、貴金属を用いなくてもアンモニア分解活性が高い。 When the microwave decomposition ammonia decomposition catalyst of the present embodiment is irradiated with microwaves in the presence of ammonia, the carrier and the metal particles absorb the microwaves well and are heated quickly. Therefore, the ammonia decomposition catalyst for microwave heating according to the present embodiment has high ammonia decomposition activity without using a noble metal.
［マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒混合物］
本実施形態のマイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒混合物は、上述したマイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒と、加熱助剤と、を備える。マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒は、マイクロ波の加熱に適した加熱助剤を介して加熱される。そのため、本実施形態のマイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒混合物は、マイクロ波の照射で加熱しやすくなるため好ましい。ここで、加熱助剤とは、マイクロ波の吸収性を向上させる物質を意味する。加熱助剤としては、例えば、炭化ケイ素、カーボン等が用いられる。このうち、炭化ケイ素は、マイクロ波の吸収性を向上させる度合いが大きく、かつ、マイクロ波加熱の制御性が優れているため好ましい。
[Ammonia decomposition catalyst mixture for microwave heating]
The ammonia-decomposing catalyst mixture for microwave heating of the present embodiment includes the above-described ammonia-decomposing catalyst for microwave heating and a heating aid. The ammonia-decomposing catalyst for microwave heating is heated via a heating aid suitable for microwave heating. Therefore, the ammonia-decomposing catalyst mixture for microwave heating according to this embodiment is preferable because it can be easily heated by microwave irradiation. Here, the heating aid means a substance that improves the absorption of microwaves. As the heating aid, for example, silicon carbide, carbon or the like is used. Among these, silicon carbide is preferable because it has a high degree of improvement in microwave absorbability and excellent controllability of microwave heating.
マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒混合物は、マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒１００質量部に対して、加熱助剤の添加量が１〜３０質量部であることが好ましく、５〜２０質量部であることがより好ましく、８〜１５質量部であることがさらに好ましい。マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒に対する加熱助剤の配合量がこの範囲内にあると、マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒がマイクロ波の照射で加熱しやすく、かつ、制御が容易になるためである。 The amount of the heating aid added to the microwave decomposition ammonia decomposition catalyst mixture is preferably 1 to 30 parts by mass, and 5 to 20 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the ammonia decomposition catalyst for microwave heating. Is more preferable, and it is still more preferable that it is 8-15 mass parts. This is because when the blending amount of the heating aid with respect to the ammonia-decomposing catalyst for microwave heating is within this range, the ammonia-decomposing catalyst for microwave heating is easily heated by microwave irradiation, and control becomes easy.
本実施形態のマイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒混合物は、マイクロ波を照射すると、担体及び金属粒子がマイクロ波を吸収するのに加え、加熱助剤がより迅速に低い消費電力で加熱される。そのため、加熱助剤からの熱伝導により担体及び金属粒子が迅速に加熱される。そして、より迅速な加熱のため速やかに昇温した金属粒子は、アンモニア分解反応の反応速度を向上させてアンモニアから水素を製造することできる。このように、本実施形態のマイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒混合物によれば、マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒の昇温時間が本実施形態のマイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒に比較してより短くなり、必要なマイクロ波に用いる電力も削減できる。 When the microwave decomposition ammonia decomposition catalyst mixture of this embodiment is irradiated with microwaves, in addition to the carrier and metal particles absorbing the microwaves, the heating aid is heated more quickly and with low power consumption. Therefore, the carrier and the metal particles are rapidly heated by heat conduction from the heating aid. And the metal particle which heated up rapidly for quicker heating can improve the reaction rate of ammonia decomposition reaction, and can manufacture hydrogen from ammonia. Thus, according to the ammonia decomposition catalyst mixture for microwave heating of this embodiment, the temperature rising time of the ammonia decomposition catalyst for microwave heating is shorter than that of the ammonia decomposition catalyst for microwave heating of this embodiment. The power used for the necessary microwaves can also be reduced.
［水素製造装置］
本実施形態に係る水素製造装置１は、例えば図１で示すように、マイクロ波照射装置２と、導波管３と、円筒空胴共振器４と、反応管５と、マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒６と、を備えることができる。本実施形態の水素製造装置１は、マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒６を、マイクロ波を用いて加熱することができる。そのため、本実施形態の水素製造装置１は、一般的な電気炉などを用いて加熱した場合と比較し、速やかにマイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒６を加熱することができる。

The cylindrical cavity resonator 4 can resonate the microwave oscillated from the
さらに、反応管５が、円筒空胴共振器４内の電界強度が極大となる位置に、円筒空胴共振器４の軸方向と平行に貫通して配置され、アンモニアガスを通過させることができる。そして、マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒６は、反応管５内に充填することができる。このようにすると、マイクロ波が均一に効率よくマイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒６を加熱して、水素ガスを製造することができる。そのため、本実施形態の水素製造装置１は、機械的な調整が必要なく、簡易な操作で水素ガスを製造することができる。なお、本実施形態の水素製造装置１は、一例として円筒空胴共振器４を用いたが、これに限らず、矩形空胴共振器などを用いることもできる。 Further, the reaction tube 5 is disposed at a position where the electric field strength in the cylindrical cavity resonator 4 is maximized, and penetrates in parallel with the axial direction of the cylindrical cavity resonator 4 so that ammonia gas can pass therethrough. . Then, the microwave heating ammonia decomposition catalyst 6 can be filled in the reaction tube 5. If it does in this way, the microwave can heat the ammonia decomposition catalyst 6 for microwave heating uniformly and efficiently, and hydrogen gas can be manufactured. Therefore, the hydrogen production apparatus 1 of the present embodiment does not require mechanical adjustment and can produce hydrogen gas with a simple operation. In addition, although the cylindrical cavity resonator 4 was used as an example in the hydrogen production apparatus 1 of this embodiment, not only this but a rectangular cavity resonator etc. can also be used.
本実施形態に係る水素製造装置１は、例えば、自動車用の水素製造装置として使用することもできる。 The hydrogen production apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment can be used as, for example, an automobile hydrogen production apparatus.

図３の結果より、金属粒子の担持量が増加するほど、アンモニア転化率が高くなることが分かった。また、図４の結果より、マイクロ波出力が１００Ｗ未満であっても、金属粒子の担持量が1〜５質量％の場合は５５０℃まで、１０質量％の場合は６００℃まで加熱できることが分かった。一方、マイクロ波出力が１００Ｗ未満においては、金属粒子の担持量が２０質量％の場合、４５０℃までしか加熱できなかった。おそらく、金属粒子の担持量が増えて金属粒子が凝集することで、金属的な性質が増加し、マイクロ波の吸収効率が低下したためと考えられる。 From the results of FIG. 3, it was found that the ammonia conversion rate increases as the loading amount of the metal particles increases. Moreover, even if a microwave output is less than 100W from the result of FIG. 4, when the loading amount of a metal particle is 1-5 mass%, it turns out that it can heat to 550 degreeC, and when it is 10 mass%, it can heat to 600 degreeC. It was. On the other hand, when the microwave output was less than 100 W, heating was possible only up to 450 ° C. when the loading amount of the metal particles was 20% by mass. Probably, this is because the amount of metal particles supported increases and the metal particles agglomerate to increase the metallic properties and lower the microwave absorption efficiency.

図６の結果より、γ−アルミナ担体を用いた場合と比較し、ＹＳＺ担体を用いた場合はアンモニア転化率が向上することが分かった。また、図７の結果より、γ−アルミナ担体を用いた場合は、マイクロ波出力を増加させるにつれマイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒の温度が高くなり、１００Ｗのマイクロ波出力で５５０℃まで達することが分かった。一方、ＹＳＺ担体を用いた場合は、温度が高くなるほど、必要なマイクロ波出力が小さくなり、２７Ｗ程度のマイクロ波出力で６００℃に達することが分かった。 From the results of FIG. 6, it was found that the ammonia conversion rate was improved when the YSZ support was used, compared with the case where the γ-alumina support was used.

実施例１１〜１３と同様に、実施例１６〜２４で得られたマイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒混合物を、マイクロ波で加熱した場合と、電気炉で加熱した場合のアンモニア転化率（％）を測定した。結果を図８に示す。なお、図８のアンモニア転化率は、５００℃で加熱した場合の結果を棒グラフで示している。また、この時のマイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒混合物の温度（℃）とマイクロ波出力（Ｗ）との関係を図９に示す。 Similarly to Examples 11 to 13, the ammonia conversion catalyst mixture for microwave heating obtained in Examples 16 to 24 was converted into an ammonia conversion rate (%) when heated by microwave and when heated in an electric furnace. It was measured. The results are shown in FIG. In addition, the ammonia conversion rate of FIG. 8 has shown the result at the time of heating at 500 degreeC with the bar graph. Further, FIG. 9 shows the relationship between the temperature (° C.) of the ammonia decomposition catalyst mixture for microwave heating at this time and the microwave output (W).
図８の結果より、電気炉で加熱するより、マイクロ波で加熱した方が、マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒混合物のアンモニア転化率が高いことが分かった。特に、γ−アルミナ担体、ＹＳＺ担体、ＵＳＹ担体を用いた場合が、アンモニア転化率が高かった。また、図９の結果より、用いる担体によって、マイクロ波出力が異なることが分かった。この時、特にＺｒＯ２担体、ＮａＹ型ゼオライト担体、ＵＳＹ型ゼオライト担体、ＴｉＯ２担体を用いた場合に特に消費電力が低いことが分かった。 From the result of FIG. 8, it was found that the ammonia conversion rate of the ammonia-decomposing catalyst mixture for microwave heating was higher when heated with microwaves than when heated with an electric furnace. In particular, when the γ-alumina carrier, YSZ carrier, and USY carrier were used, the ammonia conversion rate was high. Moreover, it turned out that a microwave output changes with the support | carrier used from the result of FIG. At this time, it was found that the power consumption was particularly low when a ZrO 2 carrier, NaY-type zeolite carrier, USY-type zeolite carrier, and TiO 2 carrier were used.
次に、キレート剤の影響を調べるため、表６に示すように、マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒を調製し、アンモニア転化率を測定した。 Next, in order to investigate the influence of the chelating agent, as shown in Table 6, an ammonia decomposition catalyst for microwave heating was prepared, and the ammonia conversion rate was measured.

[Example 26]
An ammonia decomposition catalyst for microwave heating was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that a chelate-treated γ-alumina support was used instead of the chelate-treated γ-alumina support. The chelate treatment was performed by an impregnation method (incipient-wetness method). Specifically, γ-alumina was impregnated with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (EDTA · 2Na manufactured by Dojin Chemical Laboratory Co., Ltd.), preliminarily dried at 60 ° C, and further dried at 110 ° C. The obtained ammonia-decomposing catalyst for microwave heating contained 95 parts by mass of γ-alumina, 5 parts by mass of cobalt, and 5 parts by mass of a dried product of EDTA.
実施例１と同様に、実施例２５及び２６で得られたマイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒のアンモニア転化率（％）を測定した。結果を図１０に示す。また、この時のマイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒の温度（℃）とマイクロ波出力（Ｗ）との関係を図１１に示す。 In the same manner as in Example 1, the ammonia conversion rate (%) of the ammonia decomposition catalyst for microwave heating obtained in Examples 25 and 26 was measured. The results are shown in FIG. Further, FIG. 11 shows the relationship between the temperature (° C.) of the ammonia decomposition catalyst for microwave heating and the microwave output (W) at this time.
図１０の結果より、キレート処理した実施例２６の触媒は、キレート処理していない実施例２５の触媒より、アンモニア転化率が向上することが分かった。おそらく、担体表面での金属粒子の分散性が高くなり、金属粒子の粒径が小さくなり、金属粒子の表面積が増えたためと考えられる。また、図１１の結果より、キレート処理した実施例２６の触媒は、キレート処理していない実施例２５の触媒より、必要なマイクロ波出力が大幅に低減することが分かった。 From the results shown in FIG. 10, it was found that the chelate-treated catalyst of Example 26 was improved in ammonia conversion rate than the catalyst of Example 25 not chelated. This is probably because the dispersibility of the metal particles on the surface of the carrier is increased, the particle size of the metal particles is reduced, and the surface area of the metal particles is increased. Further, from the results of FIG. 11, it was found that the required microwave output of the catalyst of Example 26 subjected to chelation treatment was significantly reduced as compared with the catalyst of Example 25 not subjected to chelation treatment.

Then, using Mg (NO 3 ) 2 · 6H 2 O (content 99.5%, manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), it was supported on cobalt-supported γ-alumina by an impregnation method, and dried at 110 ° C. for 12 hours.

Similarly, the ammonia conversion rate (%) when the microwave decomposition ammonia decomposition catalyst obtained in Examples 34 and 35 was heated in an electric furnace was measured. The results are shown in FIG.
図１４の結果より、電気炉で加熱をした場合は、水素前処理に代えてアンモニア前処理をしても、アンモニア転化率に大きな差はなかった。しかし、マイクロ波で加熱した場合は、アンモニア前処理の方が、水素前処理よりもアンモニア転化率が向上することが分かった。 From the results shown in FIG. 14, when heating was performed in an electric furnace, there was no significant difference in ammonia conversion even when ammonia pretreatment was performed instead of hydrogen pretreatment. However, when heated with microwaves, it has been found that ammonia pretreatment improves ammonia conversion over hydrogen pretreatment.

また、図１５中、２５０℃のピークは、マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒混合物に、物理的に吸着したアンモニアの離脱によるものである。また、４００℃のピークは、窒素を含む表面吸着種の分解によるものである。これはアンモニア処理によって表面の窒素濃度が増加したＸＰＳの結果と一致する。 In FIG. 15, the peak at 250 ° C. is due to the release of ammonia physically adsorbed on the ammonia-decomposing catalyst mixture for microwave heating. The peak at 400 ° C. is due to decomposition of the surface adsorbed species containing nitrogen. This is consistent with the XPS results in which the surface nitrogen concentration was increased by the ammonia treatment.
表９や図１５の結果より、マイクロ波加熱用アンモニア分解触媒混合物の表面に窒素を含む吸着種が存在し、これがアンモニア転化率向上に作用することが分かった。 From the results of Table 9 and FIG. 15, it was found that adsorbed species containing nitrogen were present on the surface of the ammonia-decomposing catalyst mixture for microwave heating, which acted to improve the ammonia conversion rate.
