Abstract: An ammonia production method is a method that produces ammonia from nitrogen molecules by donating electrons from a power supply, protons from a proton source, and the nitrogen molecules from means for supplying a nitrogen gas in presence of a complex, a solid catalyst, and a reaction field forming material in a cathode by a production apparatus for performing electrolysis. In the complex, the solid catalyst, and the reaction field forming material, for example, a molybdenum complex expressed by Formula (A1-1) is used as the complex. A platinum catalyst is used as the solid catalyst, and a rare earth metal-carbon-based binder is used as the reaction field forming material.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cellulose acetate excellent in transparency, and a molded article of the cellulose acetate. In the cellulose acetate, an acetylation degree is 52% or more and 59% or less, and a content of low-molecular-weight components having a molecular weight of not more than ¼ of a peak top molecular weight in a molecular weight distribution measured by gel permeation chromatography of cellulose acetate is 12% or less.

Abstract: A method for producing ammonia involves producing ammonia from molecular nitrogen in a production apparatus for performing electrolysis by supplying electrons from a power source, protons from a proton source and molecular nitrogen from a device for supplying a nitrogen gas while in the presence of a solid catalyst and a complex in a cathode. For example, a molybdenum complex represented by formula (A1) or formula (B2) as the complex, and a platinum catalyst or a platinum catalyst/gold catalyst combination as the solid catalyst are used.

Abstract: An ammonia production method is a method of producing ammonia from nitrogen molecule using electron supplied from a power supply in the presence of a complex and a proton source. The complex used is, for example, a molybdenum complex (1) that is carried on Merrifield resin.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide cellulose acetate with which it is possible to obtain a molded article containing cellulose acetate having a small amount of lumps. The cellulose acetate has an acetylation degree of 52% or more and 59% or less, and an acetone-insoluble substance content of 0.04 wt % or less.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide cellulose acetate excellent in transparency. The method for producing cellulose acetate flakes includes the steps of (a) generating a cellulose acetate dope by reacting cellulose with acetic anhydride in a presence of an acid catalyst and an acetic acid solvent; (b) hydrolyzing the generated cellulose acetate to adjust an acetylation degree to 52% or more and 59% or less; (c) precipitating the adjusted cellulose acetate in a presence of water; (d) forming the cellulose acetate obtained by precipitation into a slurry by dispersing the cellulose acetate in a mixed solvent including a solvent having a solubility parameter ? of 8 to 13 and a solvent having a solubility parameter ? of 14 or more; and (e) separating the cellulose acetate from the slurry to form the cellulose acetate into flakes, the mixed solvent containing 30% by weight or more and 70% by weight or less of the solvent having a solubility parameter ? of 8 to 13.
