Abstract

Abstract A catalyst for the selective reduction of nitrogen oxides by means of ammonia contains, in addition to titanium oxide as component A), at least one oxide selected from the group comprising W, Si, B, Al, P, Zr, Ba, Y, La and Ce and at least one oxide selected from the group comprising V, Nb, Mo, Fe and Cu as component B), the atomic ratio between the elements of the components A) and B) being 1 : 0.001 to 1. The catalyst is obtainable by kneading reactive titanium oxide of high specific surface area comprising predominantly anatase with the substances comprising component B) or their precursors with the addition of processing agents to give a homogeneous kneaded mass, extruding this, drying the extrudate and calcination in air at 300 - 800 DEG C.
