| 1. In a method for treating an NH3-containing gas wherein a gas containing an ammonia (NH3) of a high concentration is allowed to pass through a pre-treatment catalyst layer having a function for oxidizing NH3 to generate nitrogen monoxide (NO), and then pass through a denitration catalyst layer having in combination, a denitration function and a function for oxidizing NH3 to generate NO, which contains titanium oxide (TiO2); an oxide of at least one selected from the group consisting of vanadium (V), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), zeolite, titania, alumina, and zirconia supported with platinum (Pt), and combinations thereof; a method for preventing thermal deterioration of the catalyst of the denitration catalyst layer, characterized by disposing a catalyst layer not having the function for oxidizing NH3 to generate NO in the pre-treatment catalyst layer in parallel thereto. |
