A catlyst for denitration by catalytic reduction using ammonia capable of preventing catalyst deterioation due to vapors of heavy metal compounds contained in exhaust gases and having a high strength and a superior resistance to poisons and a process for producing the catalyst are provided, which catalyst comprises TiO₂, oxide(s) of at least one of V, Cu, Fe and Mn and oxide(s) of at least one of Mo, W and Sn, the total of the mol number(s) of the oxide(s) of at least one of Mo, W and Sn falling within a range of 2 x 10⁻⁶ to 20 x 10⁻⁶ mol/m² per the unit specific surface of the catalyst, and which process comprises having oxide(s) of at least one of Mo, W and Sn absorbed and supported onto a composition comprising TiO₂ prepared in advance and oxide(s) of at least one of V, Fe, Cu and Mn so as to give the above-specified total of the mol number(s) of oxide(s) of at least one of Mo, W and Sn. |
