The invention provides an oxidation catalyst to purify CO in room temperature, which is prepared in coprecipitation method or deposition-precipitation method. The catalyst consists of non precious metal active components and carrier, wherein the loading of the active components is 5 to 80 percent of the conversion value of metal element. The active components come from cobalt salt liquid, iron salt liquid, nickel salt liquid, manganese salt liquid, copper salt liquid, zinc salt liquid, tin salt liquid and cerium salt liquid. The carrier comes from alumina, silica, molecular sieve, honeycomb ceramics, wire fence, cobalt oxide, iron oxide, manganese oxide, copper oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide and cerium oxide. The precipitant is Na2CO3, K2CO3, sodium hydroxide, urea or ammonia. The catalyst preparation solution needs to be fully stirred for 1 to 8 hours and the retrogradation duration is 1 to 16 hours. The dried solution needs to be treated in in-situ remediation in air, oxygen, and hydrogen or nitrogen atmosphere in temperature from 100 to 500 degrees centigrade. The catalyst disuses precious metal as active component, so the cost is low and the preparation process is simple.
