The invention relates to a method for preparing a selective catalytic reduction SCR flue gas denitration catalyst and a method for preparing a raw material titanium-tungsten powder of the SCR flue gas denitration catalyst. The method for preparing the SCR flue gas denitration catalyst comprises the followings: smashing titanium-bearing blast furnace slag, leaching TiO2 in the smashed titanium-bearing blast furnace slag with dilute sulphuric acid, filtering and separating the mixture to obtain residues and titanium solution, adding a porous catalyst carrier which is easy to be burnt off into the titanium solution and hydrolyzing the mixture; filtering, washing and drying the hydrolyzed product to obtain a carrier supported metatitanic acid, and further loading tungsten and vanadium on the metatitanic acid, and baking the obtained product to obtain a vanadium-tungsten-titanium SCR denitration catalyst.
