Abstract
An arsenic-resistant composite oxide catalyst containing oxides of at least the metals vanadium and molybdenum, in particular for reducing nitrogen oxides in flue gases in the presence of a reducing agent, such as ammonia or carbon monoxide, includes at least one composite oxide phase with a general formula V.sub.x Mo.sub.y O.sub.32, where x+y.ltoreq.12 and where x.gtoreq.1 and y.gtoreq.1, and optionally a MoO.sub.3 phase. A method for producing an arsenic-resistant composite oxide catalyst includes mixing vanadium oxide and molybdenum oxide or a precursor thereof with one another to form a mixture, heating the mixture to a temperature at which a mixture of oxides is present, preferably in completely molten form, then cooling down the mixture to form at least one composite oxide phase with a general formula V.sub.x Mo.sub.y O.sub.32, and then subjecting the composite oxide phase to a reducing treatment to prepare a lower-oxygen composite oxide phase with the same structure.
