Gaseous effluents polluted by nitrogen oxides are purified by catalytic reduction. The catalytic compositions used contain iron and chromium associated with alumina and optionally at least a promoter selected from rare earth oxides with a content between 0.1 and 1% in relation to the active material and crude platinum metals with a content between 1 and 5 ppm in relation to the active material, the specific surface of the compositions being between 50 and 300 m.sup.2 /g and the dimensions of the pores between 40 and 50,000 A. These compositions are applicable for processes of purification of nitrogen oxides with any content.
