Catalytic Converter-An Integrated Approach to Reduce CO2 Emission

Abstract: A major part of the air pollution caused is due to the vehicular emission which is increasing at an alarming rate. The major pollutants from vehicular emissions are a result of incomplete combustion releasing compounds such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulate matters. However, the contribution of CO2 is higher than the aforementioned pollutants. The principal greenhouse gas emitted by vehicles is carbon dioxide. About 2347 grams of carbon dioxide is released for every litre of gasoline burned by vehicles. So, it is necessary to minimise the emission of carbon dioxide from vehicles. Materials such as Zeolite, Silicon dioxide have excellent tendency to adsorb CO2. These materials convert CO2 into non-pollutant compounds of carbonates of the respective materials. The scrubbing substance is created by mixing zeolite, silicon dioxide and calcium oxide in a proportion of their increasing order of adsorption tendency, along with adequate quantity of Bentonite sand to bind the mixture
