1. A method for separating ammonia from a mixed gas comprising ammonia gas, hydrogen gas, and nitrogen gas, the method comprising:
contacting the mixed gas with a zeolite membrane thereby allowing the ammonia gas to selectively permeate the zeolite membrane and separate from the mixed gas,
wherein a concentration of the ammonia gas in the mixed gas is 1.0% by volume or more relative to a total volume of the mixed gas, and
the zeolite membrane has an SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio of from 6 to 500.
