Why does catalytic converter used in an automobile?
The catalytic converter is a device that converts harmful compounds in harmless compounds.
The compounds harmful in nature are as follows :
Hydrocarbons : This is in the form of unburned gasoline that creates pollution and is more harmful.
Carbon monoxide is very harmful gas formed by the combustion of gasoline and used mainly for fuels.
Nitrogen oxides is also one of the gases that is poisonous in nature and produced by the release of heat from the engines.
The release of nitrogen from the engine gets mixed with the oxygen in the air.
The catalyst converter takes these harmful gases and uses the catalyst that is coated on the ceramic honeycomb or beads and attached to the exhaust pipe.
This converts the carbon monoxide in carbon dioxide and makes it easy for the nature to consume it.
The hydrocarbon gets converted in carbon dioxide and water.
Same way the nitrogen oxides also gets converted in nitrogen and oxygen.
