The invention introduces the combination of microwave and a specific denitration catalyst, and carries out reaction and catalytic decomposition on the Cu-SAPO-34 catalyst in a microwave field to obtain good effect. In particular Cu-SAPO-34, together with oxides of transition or valence-changing metal elements, form MeOxthe-Cu-SAPO-34 mixed catalyst has high activity at 100-400 ℃ when directly catalyzing and decomposing NO. The method has the advantage of efficiently and directly decomposing NO, and has the characteristics of simple process, low cost, NO secondary pollution and the like.
