Abstract

The method of cleaning an exhaust gas containing nitrogen oxides including disposing an exhaust gas cleaner comprising a heat-resistant, porous body, which may support a catalyst consisting essentially of (a) at least one of alkali metal elements; (b) at least one of elements selected from the group consisting of Cu, Co, Mn and V, (c) at least one of rare earth elements, in a flow path of the exhaust gas, spraying a liquid hydrocarbon into a stream of the exhaust gas on the upstream side of the exhaust gas cleaner, thereby causing atomized and gasified hydrocarbon to function as a reducing agent for reducing the nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas.
