Experimental Investigation Towards Enhancement of Catalytic Converter by Modifying the Elements of Honeycomb Section

Most of the air pollution are caused by automobiles, factories, and living things. Increasing air pollution is mainly caused by the vehicles. The power generating process in an automobile happens by the fossil fuel combustion, and incomplete combustion leads to the creation of contaminants like NO_X, particulate matter, CO, HC, etc. Improving engine design and fuel pre-treatment are two effective ways to reduce these emissions. The toxicity of the exhaust gas is lowered alongside improving the efficiency by the technology—metallic catalytic converter (MCC) where the noble elements like palladium, rhodium, and platinum are replaced which are really expensive and scarce. Titanium dioxide, copper oxide, and calcium oxide are deposited on the aluminum wire mesh to substitute the noble elements. The project’s ultimate goal is to reduce harmful gas emissions, reduce engine backpressure, and investigate the value of exhaust gases under various engine load circumstances with and without the new catalytic converter.
