Therefore, the operational reaction temperature in industrial equipment is 400 to 50
Therefore, in the existing ammonia production method, it is necessary to increase the recirculation ratio of the reaction gas and increase the space velocity, and the power, heat transfer, etc. The increase in operating costs is significant.

ができるものである。The present inventors have previously provided a catalyst for ammonia production in which one of the Group I transition metals consisting of iron, ruthenium, osmium, and cobalt and an alkali metal are supported on activated carbon or porous carbon (Japanese Patent Publication No. 54 -3759
Publication No. 2). This catalyst for producing ammonia is prepared by adding an alkali metal to a group (1) metal catalyst supported on activated carbon, and is capable of synthesizing ammonia even at a low temperature of 200°C.

Components can be easily and uniformly deposited, and a catalyst with a large amount of active metal components supported can be obtained.

よるものと思われる。Immediately before using the catalyst thus prepared for ammonia production, it was reduced at 350°C for 4 hours in a hydrogen stream,
Ammonia synthesis was performed by changing the reaction temperature. The results are shown in the table below. It can be seen that the amount of metal used is smaller than in the case of an alumina support.Also, in the case of potassium, rubidium, and cesium-doped ruthenium catalysts, the activity remained even though the reaction temperature rose from 315℃ to 330℃. The reason why is not increasing seems to be that the reaction has already proceeded to near equilibrium due to the high activity of these catalysts.

Ammonia synthesis was carried out as follows. Changes in the amount of ammonia produced were measured by changing the proportion (mole fraction) of carbon monoxide in the raw material gas, and the results are shown in the table below. The unit of ammonia yield is μmo1 g-'h-' (hereinafter Margin) This shows that the catalyst of the present invention is not significantly affected by the poisoning effect of carbon monoxide.

低いことがわかる。The results of ammonia synthesis using this catalyst are shown in Figure 6.It shows that since the catalyst that is not subjected to hydrogen reduction contains chlorine, ammonia cannot be synthesized unless potassium is contained above a certain ratio to ruthenium. It can be seen that the activity is extremely low.
更に600℃で水素還元処理をしたものでも、カリウム
塩の添加により更に活性が増加していることがわかる。Furthermore, it can be seen that even in the case where the hydrogen reduction treatment was performed at 600° C., the activity was further increased by the addition of potassium salt.

It can be used as a catalyst with even higher reaction activity. Furthermore, in the catalyst of the present invention, the ruthenium carbonyl complex and the alkali metal salt have extremely good affinity with the catalyst carrier, so that the ruthenium metal component and the alkali metal component can be easily and uniformly deposited within the pores of the catalyst carrier. As a result, a large amount of active metal components can be supported. Moreover, since it is resistant to the poisoning effect of carbon oxide, it is a useful catalyst even when the reaction gas contains carbon monoxide.
