It doesn't remove it. It uses Oxidation to add oxygen to the Carbon Monoxide to turn it into Carbon Dioxide, which isn't as harmful.
It does not remove carbon monoxide.
Incomplete Combustion
HC hydrocarbons CO carbon monoxide NOx oxides of nitrogen
Carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
Oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. Reduction of nitrogen monoxide back to nitrogen. Oxidation of hydrocarbons to water and carbon dioxide.
Convert unburnt fuel, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides into nitrogen, water, and carbon dioxide.
carbon monoxide, unburnt hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen
They are not removed. They are converted from CO and NOx to CO2 and N2.
In a catalytic converter, carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) react with oxygen (O2) to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). This process is shown by the balanced chemical equation: 2CO + 2HC + O2 -> 2CO2 + H2O
Cars produce a kind of poisonous gas known as carbon monoxide but if you have a catalytic converter it converts the carbon monoxide into harmless gas known as carbon dioxide
To remove carbon monoxide, a carbon filter or a catalytic converter can be used in a ventilation system. These devices help to trap and convert the carbon monoxide into less harmful compounds before releasing the air back into the environment.
It stops the car from emitting harmful gasses by the following reactions: Carbon monoxide and nitrogen monoxide into carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas Unburnt hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water
