Abstract: A molded sintered body containing a mayenite type compound, an inorganic binder sintered material, and a transition metal, wherein a content of the inorganic binder sintered material is 3 to 30 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the molded sintered body, and the molded sintered body has at least one pore peak in each of a pore diameter range of 2.5 to 20 nm and a pore diameter range of 20 to 350 nm. A method for producing the molded sintered body, including mixing a precursor of a mayenite type compound and a raw material of an inorganic binder sintered material to prepare a mixture; molding the mixture to prepare a molded body of the mixture; firing the molded body to prepare a fired product; and supporting a transition metal on the fired product to produce a molded sintered body.

Abstract: A production system for a product selected from a nitrogen-containing product and a fermented and cultured product that does not involve (or can minimize) the transport of liquid ammonia can include: an ammonia synthesis apparatus in which an ammonia-containing gas is synthesized by reaction of a source gas containing hydrogen and nitrogen in the presence of a supported metal catalyst containing as a support one or more selected from the group consisting of: i) a conductive mayenite compound; ii) a two-dimensional electride compound or a precursor thereof; and iii) a complex formed of a support base containing at least one metal oxide selected from ZrO2, TiO2, CeO2, and MgO and a metal amide represented by a formula M(NH2)x (where M represents one or more selected from Li, Na, K, Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, and Eu; and x represents a valence number of M) supported by the support base.

Abstract: Provided is a novel production system that does not involve, or can minimize, the transport of liquid ammonia in the production of an organic compound or the production of a microorganism by microbial fermentation. A production system for an organic compound or a microorganism includes: an ammonia synthesis apparatus in which an ammonia-containing gas is synthesized by reaction of a source gas containing hydrogen and nitrogen in the presence of a supported ruthenium catalyst; and a culture apparatus that cultures a microorganism having organic compound productivity using ammonia originating from the ammonia-containing gas obtained by using the ammonia synthesis apparatus.
