There is provided a catalyst that exhibits a high denitration efficiency at a relatively low temperature and does not cause oxidation of SO.sub.2 in a selective catalytic reduction reaction that uses ammonia as a reducing agent. A denitration catalyst is obtained by coating a substrate with a catalyst component. The catalyst component contains 43 wt % or more of vanadium pentoxide and has a BET specific surface area of 30 m.sup.2/g or more. The denitration catalyst is used for denitration at 200 C. or lower.

There is provided a method for recycling a catalyst that exhibits a high denitration efficiency at a relatively low temperature and does not cause oxidation of SO.sub.2 in a selective catalytic reduction reaction that uses ammonia as a reducing agent. A method for recycling a denitration catalyst includes a step of removing a used denitration catalyst from a denitration device and then coating the used denitration catalyst with a catalyst component. The catalyst component contains 43 wt % or more of vanadium pentoxide and has a BET specific surface area of 30 m.sup.2/g or more, and the denitration catalyst after recycling is used for denitration at 200 C. or lower.

The present invention discloses a method and system of recovering elemental sulfur and regenerating the catalyst for a sulfur-deposited catalyst, including immersing the sulfur-deposited catalyst in the ammonium sulfide solution, the leaching reaction under normal pressure and temperature, replacing the ammonium sulfide solution and immersing again for extraction for the same time; collecting the leachate of the two steps, conducting gas stripping of the elemental sulfur by adopting the high-temperature nitrogen gas, condensing the tail gas of gas stripping, subjecting to a purification treatment and then discharging, with the liquor condensate being the ammonium sulfide solution. Finally, the solid in the leachate is filtered, washed and dried after the gas stripping to obtain the elemental sulfur; and the washing and drying of catalysts that has been subjected to the two times of immersion and extraction obtain the regenerated catalysts.

Methods for regenerating a spent catalyst are disclosed. Such methods may employ a step of chlorinating the spent catalyst in the gas phase, followed by decoking the chlorinated spent catalyst, and then fluorinating the de-coked catalyst in a fluorine-containing solution of a fluorine-containing compound.
