Mesoporous silicon (oxy)nitride (MS(O)N) and mesoporous silica MCM-41 (M41) were examined as supports of catalyst for ammonia synthesis from N2and H2. Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zr, Nb, Rh, Ta, W, Ir, or Pt-loaded MS(O)N and MS(O)N itself were catalytically inert for the synthesis reaction at 673–773K, while Re, Mo, and Ru-loaded MS(O)N were active. Among the latter metals Re showed the highest activity and thus catalytic activity of Re supported was studied as a function of support, amount of Re supported, Re precursor used in the preparation, and additive. M41 was a good support. The role of Re precursor upon activity was limited. The activity of Re/M41 increased linearly with increasing Re content in the range 0–30wt.% and was approximately constant between 30–60wt.% Re. The most active Re/M41 with 30wt.% Re showed equivalent activity to those of Ru/MgO and doubly-promoted iron catalysts at an atmospheric pressure. Several additives such as Cs, Ba, La, and Ce did not increase the activity of Re/M41. Finally the activation energy and the reaction orders on the respective components on Re/M41 were determined to be 63.0kJmol−1and PN20.95PH20.52PNH3-1.22at 623–693K and an atmospheric pressure. The order on hydrogen was positive in sharp contrast to those reported on other Re catalysts and would be very important for the practical application.
