The invention is to provide a method for regenerating a deteriorated denitration catalyst by an easy and simple procedure. A catalyst that is used for reduction removal of NO<SUB>x </SUB>contained in a exhaust gas by using ammonia as a reducing agent and has been deteriorated in activity through long term use is washed with an acid aqueous solution having pH of 4 or less, and preferably 2 or less, containing vanadium and/or tungsten. The washing operation dissolves away mainly an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, arsenic and sulfur, which are deteriorating components, and vanadium and tungsten having been deteriorated in activity, and simultaneously vanadium and/or tungsten as an active component is deposited thereon. Examples of the alkali metal include potassium and sodium, and examples of the alkaline earth metal include calcium.
