    A catalytic converter is an exhaust emissions control device that uses chemical reactions to reduce harmful pollutants emitted from automobile exhaust. These reactions oxidize carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into less harmful substances like carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen gas. Catalytic converters help improve air quality and reduce health risks from air pollution while also lowering greenhouse gas emissions, though their manufacturing processes can be toxic and require extensive mining.

    What is a Catalytic Converter?

    Introduction
    A catalytic converter is an exhaust emissions control device used
    in automobiles to reduce the amount of harmful pollutants emitted
    into the atmosphere. A catalytic converter's process involves a
    series of chemical reactions that take place within a metal or
    ceramic honeycomb structure that is coated with a catalyst, which
    is typically composed of platinum, palladium, and/or rhodium.

    The three main types of harmful pollutants that a catalytic


    converter helps to reduce:
    • Carbon Monoxide (CO)
    • Hydrocarbons (HC)
    • Nitrogen Monoxide (NO)
    Chemical Equations and Reactions

    1.Oxidation of carbon monoxide


    (2CO + O2 → 2CO2)
    The chemical equation represents a redox reaction in which both
    oxidation and reduction processes are involved.

    2. Oxidation of hydrocarbons
    (HC + O2 → CO2 + H2O)
    The chemical reaction is a combustion reaction that involves the
    rapid oxidation of hydrocarbons in the presence of oxygen to
    produce carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen gas.

    3. Oxidation of hydrocarbons
    (HC + O2 → CO2 + H2O)
    This chemical reaction is a decomposition reaction. This type of
    reaction involves the breakdown of a single compound into two or
    more simpler compounds or elements.
