Abstract

A method of denitrating an exhaust gas by means of removing nitrogen oxides catalytically using ammonia as a reducing agent while introducing an exhaust gas containing the nitrogen oxides into a reaction vessel packed with a catalyst, comprising: PA1 providing a denitration catalyst layer in the upstream of the gas flow, an ammonia decomposition catalyst layer capable of decomposing oxidatively ammonia into nitrogen and nitrogen oxides in the downstream and a second denitration catalyst layer or a denitration catalyst layer capable of decomposing ammonia in the further downstream; and, PA1 adding ammonia in an amount not less than the reaction equivalence for the nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas to the inlet of the first denitration catalyst layer.
