INTRODUCTION
• Electronic emission is a substance discharged into air, especially by an internal combustion engine.
• Vehicular emissions include a number of biologically active substances such as CO, HC and NOx.
• These air pollutants are responsible for a number of adverse environmental effects such as photochemical smog, rising mercury, acid rain, death of rain forests, health hazards and reduced atmospheric visibility
• Vehicle emissions control is the study of reducing the motor vehicle emissions

• There are mainly three types of vehicle emission control they areoAir injectionoExhaust gas recirculationoCatalytic converter
• A catalytic converter is an emissions control device that converts toxic gases and pollutants in exhaust gas to less toxic pollutants.
• A catalytic converter provides an environment for a chemical reaction wherein toxic combustion by products are converted to less-toxic substances

HISTORY
• The catalytic converter was invented by Eugene Houdry, a French mechanical engineer and expert in catalytic oil refining.
• Houdry first developed catalytic converters for smoke stacks called “cats” for short,.
• In the mid-1950s, he began research to develop catalytic converters for gasoline engines used on cars
• Catalytic converters were further developed by a series of engineers including John J. Mooney and Carl D. Keith at the Engelhard Corporation, creating the first production catalytic converter in 1973

• 1975 onwards started use these catalytic converters in fuel engines vehicles
• Three-way catalyst technology, introduced in the 1980s, made it also possible to control NOx emissions from SI engines

•The core is often a ceramic honeycomb in modern catalytic converters.
•The washcoat, when added to the core, forms a rough, irregular surface, that surface area is utilized for catalyst reaction.
•The catalyst(Platinum) itself is most often a mix of precious metals.
•Palladium(oxidation catalyst) and rhodium(reduction catalyst) are two other precious metals used.

Working of Catalytic Converter
•In chemistry, a catalyst is a substance that causes or accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being affected.
•In the catalytic converter, there are two different types of catalyst at work, a reduction catalyst and an oxidation catalyst.
•Both types consist of a ceramic structure coated with a metal.
•catalyst, usually platinum, rhodium and/or palladium.

Types of Catalytic converter
•Catalytic converters are classified into 2 types based on the capability of eliminating the number of pollutantsoTwo-way catalytic converteroThree-way catalytic converter.
Two-way Catalytic converter
![Page 14: Emission Control by Catalytic Converter, Jeevan B M](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062412/58782abe1a28abef5d8b569d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

• The two-way oxidation catalytic converter performs two simultaneous tasks of oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and oxidation of hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water
• Oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide: CO + O2 → 2CO2 (carbon monoxide) (oxygen) (corban-di-oxide) • Oxidation of hydrocarbons (unburned and partially burned fuel)
to carbon dioxide and water: CₓH₂ₓ ₂ +[(3x+1)/2] O2 → xCO2 + (x+1) H2O ₊Hydrocarbon (oxygen) (carbon-di-oxide) (water) (alkane)
• Disadvantage: inability to control oxides of nitrogen

Three-way Catalytic converter
• It converts harmful gases(Nox, co, HC) in the engine exhaust to relatively harmless gases(N2, Co2, H2O).
•A three-way catalytic converter makes use of two catalysts to convert harmful gases to harmless gases. They areoReduction Catalyst(platinum and rhodium)oOxidation Catalyst(platinum and palladium)
• Stage 1 2NO → N2 + O2(oxides of nitrogen) (nitrogen) (oxygen)
![Page 16: Emission Control by Catalytic Converter, Jeevan B M](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062412/58782abe1a28abef5d8b569d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Stage 2:in this stage oxidation occurs as in two way catalytic converter
• 3-way catalytic converters are so named because they are capable of eliminating three pollutants – NOx, CO and HC

Advantages and Disadvantages
• Advantageso Reduce the amount of harmful pollution produced by the
vehicleso Faster reactionso Easy replaceable
• Disadvantages:o Decreased horsepower-engine uses more energy for the
convertero Catalyst require some time to start its action
o they are very expensive to get

CONCLUSION
•Vehicular emissions produces the CO, HC and NOx these emission are reduced by using catalytic converters.
•The two-way oxidation catalytic converter that are reduces the effect produced by CO,HC.
•The three-way oxidation catalytic converter that are reduces the effect produced by CO,HC and Nox,
•catalytic converters are play a major role in reduction of emission produced by the vehicles.
