What do catalytic converters in automobiles do?
Remove harmful pollutants from the exhaust gases.
What is used to remove poisonous gases from industrial emissions before they are released into the atmosphere?
Catalytic Converters
What is often used to remove poisonous gases from industrial emissions before they are released into the atmosphere?
Catalytic Converters
One control method or device usede on present - day automobiles to control each pollutant?
A catalytic converter is used to remove toxic gases from the exhaust.
Catalytic converters change nitrogen monoxide into which two gases?
Nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
Why are catalytic converters honeycomb shaped?
So the gases are in contact with a bigger area of catalyst
What's the function of the catalytic converter?
A catalytic converter is a piece of an automotive exhaust system. The catalytic converter often contains precious metals. As exhaust gases pass through the catalytic converter, chemical reactions occur which convert pollutant gases into less harmful ones.
Why are gases not cooled before they enter a catalytic converter?
Catalytic Converters operate their best at high temperatures. Cooling the gasses would be counter productive.
Why are cataylitic converters called cataylitic converters?
Because it converts toxic gases from the exhaust into less toxic substances. It does this by means of a catalyst which stimulaters a chemical reaction which changes the toxic gases. Therefore the term Catalytic Converter.
Why will catalytic converters not help to solve the problem of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
because they do not help to reduce the amount of co2 in the atmosphere
Where can I find online information about Cadillac converters?
You are probably referring to catalytic converters. These are mechanisms that turn harmful gases and other particles into nitrogen gas. The correct spelling will lead to you a variety of helpful websites.
What are the gold looking flakes inside a Ford diesel catalytic converter?
Catalytic converters contain something called platinum or rhodium or palladium flakes. Here is a quote from the Related Link: "Catalytic converter -- an integral part of vehicle emission control systems since 1975. Oxidizing converters remove hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide (CO) from exhaust gases, while reducing converters control nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Both use noble metal (platinum, palladium or rhodium) catalysts that can be 'poisoned' by lead compounds in the fuel or lubricant."
