Catalytic Converter [2018-2022]: Description

The catalytic converter is used to reduce the amount of toxic emissions, hydrocarbons, created by the vehicle. The active materials inside the catalytic converter are platinum, palladium, and rhodium. The converter combines carbon monoxide (CO) with unburned hydrocarbons (HC) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). The converter also reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx).
