 Components
• core:
The core is made up of ceramic honey comb.
The purpose of the core is to support the catalyst.
• Catalyst:
Platinum,palladium,Rhodium.
Platinum is the most active catalyst.
It is not suitable for all applications because of its
unwanted reactions.
wash coat:
 It is a thin layer deposited on core.
 In most cases silicon and aluminum is
used as wash coat.
 Unwanted reactions such as formation of
H2S and NH3 can be avoided by using
Nickel and Manganese as wash coat.
 Used to increase the converter efficiency
 Types of 3-Wcc
 Three way Reduction/Oxidation catalytic
converter.
 Three way + Air Reduction/Oxidation
catalytic converter.
 Working
a) Reduction Catalyst :
Ceramic honey comb coated with Platinum and Rhodium.
NOx emissions are converted into oxygen and nitrogen.
b) Oxidation catalyst :
Ceramic honey comb coated with Platinum and Palladium.
Unburned hydrocarbons and CO are oxidized into CO2
and H2O.
c) Honey comb.
 Chemical Reactions :-

 Reduction Reactions:
NOx N2 + O2
SOx S2 + O2
 Oxidation Reactions:
2CO + O2 2CO2
HyCx + nO2 xCO2 + nH2O
• These reactions occur efficiently when
the converter receives exhaust from an
engine running at the stoichiometric
point.
• The stoichiometric point is 14.7 parts
oxygen to 1 part fuel, by weight.
 A/F ratio is leaner
• The oxygen content of the exhaust stream rises
and CO content falls.
• Using cerium catalyst we can store the excess
amount of oxygen.

A/F ratio is richer

• The oxygen content of the exhaust stream falls
and CO content rises.
• Required amount of oxygen is supplied by the
cerium catalyst.
 Applications
 Generator sets, forklifts, Mining equipment,
Automobiles, and other engine-equipped
machines.
 High temperature 3-WCC are used in
Steel plants.
Smelting industries.
Thermal power stations.
 Conclusion
• To increase the performance of catalytic converter pre
converter and oxygen sensors are required.
• Pre converter warm up the exhaust gases
• Oxygen sensors are made up of cerium catalyst.
• Oxygen sensors store excess amount of oxygen in lean
condition and supply oxygen in rich condition.
