Nitrogen oxides, NOx, that arise anthropogenically from combustion at high temperature using air are serious byproducts that cause air pollution. Here, we propose a catalytic conversion system by alternate switching of inlet gas from NOx containing O2-rich combustion gas (e.g., 1000 ppm NO + 10% O2) to NO/O2-free reduction one (e.g., 1% H2). According to this gas-switching operation, solid-state nitrate, stored with alkali earth metal species, was converted to gaseous NH3 under ambient pressure, which would possibly be useful for solving the nitrogen crisis as well as constructing a new industrial structure of a circular nitrogen economy. Large Pt nanoparticles inside mesoporous alumina particles, created by an aerosol-assisted one-pot synthesis with Pt sources followed by calcination at high temperature (e.g., 850 °C), were helpful for shifting the efficient-working temperature to a higher region. A Ba/Pt@mAl2O3(γ) type nanocomposite catalyst worked very well at 250 °C and higher. Selectivity for NH3 reached 90%, and was also achieved using Ca/Pt@mAl2O3(γ), without a high-energy process like the cleavage of N2.
