The present invention provides a catalyst for catalytic reduction of an industrial flue gas SO.sub.2 with CO to prepare sulfur, a method for preparing the same and use thereof. A CeO.sub.2 nanocarrier is prepared by using a hydrothermal method, La and Y are loaded as active components, pre-sulfurization is conducted with 6% of SO.sub.2 and 3% of CO, and finally, the catalyst is prepared. The catalyst has high reactivity and sulfur selectivity and strong stability. The by-product sulfur generated by the reaction is recovered with a solvent CS.sub.2, and the solvent CS.sub.2 is recovered by using a distillation process. The preparation method is low in cost, causes no secondary pollution and is high in sulfur recovery rate. The problem of low sulfur production in China at present is solved.

Catalysts for oxidative esterification can be used, for example, fro converting (meth)acrolein to methyl (meth)acrylate. The catalysts are especially notable for high mechanical and chemical stability even over very long time periods, including activity and/or selectivity relatively in continuous operation in media having even a small water content.
