The invention belongs to the field of flue gas denitrification, and particularly relates to an attapulgite-loaded cerium-doped MnTiOX three-membered component low-temperature denitration catalyst anda preparation method. Elliptoidal MnTiOX is prepared by the method, and elliptoidal MnTiOX is a spinel-type MnTi2O4 and Mn3O4 composite oxide, and cerium element is doped therein to form a three-membered metal oxide loaded on a non-metal clay attapulgite surface. Clay-type attapulgite with low cost is taken as a carrier of the catalyst, and loads a Ce-Mn-Ti three-membered composite oxide by a one-step precipitation method. The preparation process is simple, economical and practical, any template is not needed, the catalyst is easy to form, the capabilities of transmitting electrons and ions and storing oxygen by the catalyst are enhanced, the active reaction temperature is effectively lowered, the thermal stability and the service life of the catalyst are greatly improved and prolonged, the denitrification activity and sulfur resistance are improved, and an activity window is wide.
