(57) Method for the purification of exhaust gas from the production of cement clinker in a rotary kiln, in which raw materials are ground in a mill to form raw meal, raw meal is preheated in countercurrent in a preheater with exhaust gas from the rotary kiln and optionally precalcined, preheated and optionally precalcined raw meal is supplied to the rotary kiln and burned in the rotary kiln to form cement, the exhaust gas from the rotary kiln is denitrified before entering the preheater of a selective non-catalytic nitrogen oxide reduction with a reagent which provides ammonia, and wherein, according to the invention, the exhaust gas from the preheater is subjected to gas conditioning and catalytic oxidation of ammonia. The object is further solved by means of a device for gas conditioning and catalytic oxidation which is arranged between the preheater and the mill.
