Most vehicles need catalytic converters not only so they perform at their best, but also because it's the law. Here's how they work and why they are required.

A simple ‘two-way’ oxidation cat works to turn carbon monoxide (CO ... which blocks the chemical reaction that takes place within catalytic converters, was removed from petrol and the hands ...

Carbon monoxide ... As you might have guessed by now, the catalytic converter will inevitably get clogged from the oxidation–reduction reactions. There are quite a few other things that could ...

For example, carbon monoxide (CO), and oxygen (O2) combine to form carbon dioxide (CO2), which isn’t as dangerous as carbon monoxide. And because the metal is a catalyst, the reaction happens much ...

For that reason, catalytic converters have been added ... encourage a chemical reaction to convert carbon monoxide into ...

Well-designed catalytic converters can reduce hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions by about 90%, as well as Diesel Particulate Matter emissions by 25-35%. These converters work by using metallic ...
