The invention relates to a method for recovering tungsten trioxide and ammonium metavanadate from a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) denitration catalyst. The method comprises the following steps of: crushing the SCR denitration catalyst, sieving to obtain catalyst powder, mixing with sodium carbonate, and stirring fully and uniformly; putting the mixed powder into a sintering furnace, and sintering to obtain a sintered material; keeping temperature for 1 hour, and sieving to obtain sintered material powder; pouring warm water, so that Na2WO4 and NaVO3 in the sintered material powder are dissolved fully, filtering, and removing precipitates to obtain a mixed solution of Na2WO4 and NaVO3; regulating the pH value to be 6.5-7.5, adding an ammonium bicarbonate solution or an ammonium chloride solution, and precipitating ammonium metavanadate precipitate; filtering, washing by using a diluted ammonium bicarbonate solution for 2 to 3 times, washing by using 30 percent ethanol for 1 to 2 times, and drying to obtain an ammonium metavanadate finished product; and converting the Na2WO4 in the residual solution into ammonium paratungstate, evaporating the residual solution to obtain ammonium paratungstate crystals, and calcining to obtain the tungsten trioxide. By the method, the ammonium metavanadate and the tungsten trioxide can be recovered, and the discharge of pollutants is reduced.
