What is Catalysis in Automobile Exhaust Treatment?
Catalysis in automobile exhaust treatment refers to the use of a catalyst to convert harmful pollutants in exhaust gases into less harmful substances. The most common pollutants include carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx). Catalysts help in facilitating chemical reactions that convert these pollutants into carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and nitrogen (N2), which are relatively harmless when emitted into the atmosphere.
