Abstract

A process for removing nitrogen oxides from an exhaust gas by bringing the exhaust gas containing nitrogen oxides into contact with at least one catalyst selected from a polyvalent metal phosphate, a polyvalent metal sulfate or an aluminate of a transition metal of the 4th period of the Periodic Table in an oxidizing atmosphere containing excess oxygen and in the presence of a hydrocarbon or an oxygen containing organic compound.
