catalytic converter

Converting carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO₂).
Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas, and the catalyst oxidizes it into harmless carbon dioxide.

Applications

Specific uses are as follows:

1. Automotive Exhaust Treatment

• The primary application is installing catalytic converters in gasoline, diesel, and hybrid vehicles to treat harmful emissions from the engine.

• Converts:

• Carbon monoxide (CO) → to carbon dioxide (CO₂)

• Hydrocarbons (HC) → to water (H₂O) and carbon dioxide

• Nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) → to nitrogen (N₂)

2. Complying with Environmental Regulations

• Used in vehicles that meet Euro V, Euro VI, and China VI emission standards.

• A key component for passing annual vehicle inspections and obtaining environmental certification.

3. Industrial Exhaust Treatment

• Catalytic converters are also used in some factories, combustion boilers, and diesel generator sets to purify industrial exhaust gases. 4. Laboratory Gas Purification

• Small catalytic converters are also used in some laboratory equipment (such as gas chromatograph exhaust systems) to purify exhaust gases.

5. Preventing Catalyst Poisoning or Fire Risks

• Some catalytic converters also have protective functions, such as protecting the engine or other exhaust system components by controlling temperature or preventing the accumulation of toxic substances.

FAQ

The three main functions of a catalytic converter are:

1. Converting carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO₂).

Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas, and the catalyst oxidizes it into harmless carbon dioxide.

2. Converting hydrocarbons (HC) to carbon dioxide and water (H₂O).

Incompletely burned fuel (HC) is further oxidized by the catalyst, reducing ozone pollution and smog.

3. Reducing nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) to nitrogen (N₂) and oxygen (O₂).

The catalytic converter breaks down nitrogen oxides into harmless nitrogen and oxygen through a reduction reaction.

Core Components:

• Precious metal catalyst (such as platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), rhodium (Rh))

• Ceramic or metal carrier (honeycomb structure to increase contact area)

• Housing (high-temperature-resistant metal shell)

Summary:

The essential function of a catalytic converter: It converts toxic and harmful gases (CO, HC, NOₓ) in vehicle exhaust into harmless gases (CO₂, H₂O, N₂) through a chemical reaction.
