Catalytic converter (colloquially, “cat” or “catcon”)
A device used to reduce the toxicity of emissions from an internal combustion engine.
Working Principle of Three-way Catalytic converter:
Reduction of nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and oxygen:
2NOx → xO2 + N2
Oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide:
2CO + O2 → 2CO2
Oxidation of un-burnt hydrocarbons (HC) to carbon dioxide and water:
CxH2x+2 + [(3x+1)/2]O2 → xCO2 + (x+1)H2O
