Abstract: The invention relates to catalysts for the catalytic post-combustion of exhaust gases containing carbon monoxide and/or oxidizable organic compounds and processes for their production. The catalysts contain 70 to 99% wt., calculated as TiO.sub.2, of a titanium oxide component, 1 to 30% wt., calculated as V.sub.2 O.sub.5 of a vanadium oxide component and 0.01 to 0.9% wt., calculated as noble metal, of a noble metal component from one or more nobel metal compounds of nobel metals of the 8th sub-group. The catalysts are characterized by a low starting (.ltoreq.220.degree. CC.) and operating temperature and their ability to oxidize even slight pollution of the exhaust gas with oxygen-containing or free aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide in the presence of gases containing molecular oxygen almost quantitatively to the substantially ecologically acceptable products carbon dioxide and water.
