Abstract
Nitrogen oxides are efficiently removed frown an exhaust gas containing nitrogen oxides and an excess amount of oxygen, by (i) disposing an exhaust gas cleaner in a flow path of the exhaust gas, the exhaust gas cleaner comprising a first catalyst comprising 0.2-15 weight % (on a metal basis) of silver or silver oxide supported on a porous inorganic oxide on the inlet side and a second catalyst comprising 0.2-15 weight % (on a metal basis) of silver or silver oxide and 2 weight % or less (on a metal basis) of copper or copper oxide supported on a porous inorganic oxide on the outlet side; (ii) introducing hydrocarbons and/or oxygen-containing organic compounds into the exhaust gas on the upstream side of the exhaust gas cleaner; and (iii) bringing the exhaust gas into contact with the exhaust gas cleaner at a temperature of 200.degree.-600.degree. C.
