Catalytic Converter for Toyota CamryFront

A catalytic converter(colloquially, "cat" or "catcon") is a device used to reduce thearray of emissions from an internal combustion engine. A catalyticconverter works by using a catalyst to stimulate a chemicalreaction in which the by-products of combustion are converted toproduce less harmful and/or inert substances, such as the verypoisonous carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. In automobiles, thistypically results in 90% conversion of carbon monoxide,hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into less harmfulgases

1. Reduction of nitrogen oxides to nitrogen andoxygen: 2NOx → xO2N2
2. Oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide:2CO O2 → 2CO2
3. Oxidation of unburnt hydrocarbons (HC) to carbondioxide and water: CxH2x 2 [(3x1)/2]O2 → xCO2 (x1)H2O
