Catalytic Converters FAQ
How does Catalytic Converters work?
Catalytic converters work by using a catalyst to facilitate a chemical reaction that converts harmful pollutants in exhaust gas into less harmful emissions. The device is typically installed in the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine vehicle. When exhaust gases pass through the tiny, honeycomb-structured channels coated with catalysts such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium, they promote reactions that transform carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into carbon dioxide, water vapor, and nitrogen gas, respectively. This process helps reduce the environmental impact of vehicle emissions.
